Building in Cooper City

Most of Cooper City’s homes were built from the 1970s through the 1990s, and most are owner-occupied. The city was founded in 1959 and annexed the former Waldrep Dairy Farm in 2006.

Building permits are handled by the city’s Building Division at City Hall, with applications through the city’s online citizen access portal.

Homes here sit inside Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, so new structure is engineered for wind loads from the roof down to the foundation.

Don’t just take our word for it!

"Big thanks to Calvin and his entire crew for the work they did for me on my Dad's house. Always professional while there, quality work, and finished on time as promised. Would highly recommend."
PJ Kennedy Home Owner
"Calvin and the team at Harris Contracting completed 2 significant remodeling projects at my home. The first was a bathroom remodel and the second was the installation of a second floor mezzanine. I was impressed with the teams responsiveness and overall quality of the work. We had a few bumps along the way, but Calvin ensured any issues were addressed promptly. They showed up when agreed and also worked into the evenings and some weekend days to make sure the projects stayed on track. Having experienced some very difficult and unprofessional contractors in Florida, Harris Contracting are professional company, charging a fair price and delivered on my expectations. Recommended."

Questions homeowners in Cooper City ask

How much do ground-floor home additions cost in Cooper City?

It depends on the size of the project and the finish package you choose: Essential, Signature or Legacy. Pricing varies based on project type, size, complexity, existing conditions, structural requirements, and the finish level selected. Our Instant Pricer gives you a preliminary planning range for your project type and size in about a minute, and after a site visit you receive a preliminary pricing assessment with a realistic construction investment range.

Pricing shown is for preliminary planning purposes only and is not a quote or construction proposal. Final pricing is determined after pre-construction/design and owner approval of the construction plans.

Who issues building permits for an addition in Cooper City?

Residential building permits in Cooper City are issued by the City of Cooper City Building Division. Applications go through Citizen Access Portal. Harris Contracting coordinates permitting with the municipality and the design professionals as part of every project.

How long does a home addition take to build?

As a general planning guideline, construction for many additions may take approximately 4–8 months after permits are issued.

Design, engineering and permitting occur before construction and can add several months depending on the project and municipality. Timelines vary with project size and complexity, design requirements, permitting time, material lead times, site conditions and owner selections. These are general planning ranges, not guaranteed completion dates.

Does Harris Contracting handle design, engineering and permits?

Yes. Under a separate pre-construction agreement, Harris Contracting coordinates the pre-construction services a project requires, which may include surveys, zoning and feasibility review, existing-condition documentation, architectural design, structural engineering and MEP engineering. We then coordinate permitting with the municipality and the design professionals.
