Building in Highlands County: What to Know
Highlands County is popular with retirees and families looking for affordable land and lake living. Many lots in subdivisions like Sun ’n Lake have central utilities, while rural parcels need well and septic.
Lakefront lots need setback and shoreline review. Even inland, homes must meet Florida Building Code wind requirements, and hurricanes have caused significant wind damage here.
Stronger, More Efficient Homes
We build with insulated concrete forms, structural insulated panels and 3D-printed concrete. Every home is engineered to the Florida Building Code wind requirements for its location and elevated where flood rules require.
