Home / Process & Permitting
From first call to final walkthrough.
Marine projects live or die on planning and permitting. Here's how AVS Marine moves a waterfront project cleanly from idea to finished structure.
Review the scope
Share the site, structure type, and goals. We look at photos, plans, and conditions to understand what the work really involves.
Site visit & assessment
We walk the shoreline, check water depth, soil, exposure, and access, and give you an honest read on repair vs. replacement and the right system.
Free estimate
You get a clear estimate for the recommended scope — what we'll build, with what materials, and what to expect.
Permitting
We coordinate the approvals your project needs — county, FDEP, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — and prepare the documentation so the project doesn't stall.
Construction
Our crew self-performs the marine scope: demolition, dredging, pile driving, and the structure itself — sequenced to minimize downtime.
Final walkthrough
We walk the finished work with you, confirm it meets the plan, and leave the site clean. Documentation stays in order for inspection.
About permitting in Florida
Anything built in or near the water touches public resources, so marine work is reviewed at the local, state, and sometimes federal level. We identify which approvals apply, prepare what's needed, and keep documentation clean through inspection. For a plain-English overview, read our guide to Florida marine construction permitting.
