Naples doesn't get a normal building code

Naples sits inside one of Florida's highest wind-load zones, and its beachfront and downtown corridors fall inside FEMA flood and storm-surge areas. Hurricane Ian's surge through Old Naples made that risk literal, not theoretical.

Old Naples

Storm surge exposure

Ian's surge flooded Old Naples and the beachfront corridor, exposing how vulnerable standard-grade construction is along the Gulf.

High-Wind

Wind-borne debris zone

Collier County enforces Florida Building Code wind-load and wind-borne-debris rules that govern glazing, roofing, and envelope design.

FEMA

Base flood elevation

Coastal and low-lying Naples parcels require flood-resistant materials and, in many cases, elevated construction above base flood elevation.

Rebuild Code

Post-Ian standards

Homes destroyed or deemed uninhabitable by a storm must be rebuilt to current wind and flood code — not the code they were originally built to.

Steel frame construction, engineered for the Gulf

Every home is built to satisfy Naples' wind, flood, and corrosion demands from the frame out — not retrofitted to meet code after the fact.

  • Category 5 wind envelope

    Steel framing, wind-rated glazing, and roofing certified for Collier County's ultimate design wind speeds.

  • Elevated foundation options

    Engineered for base flood elevation and storm-surge resistance on Old Naples, Naples Bay, and other flood-prone lots.

  • Salt-air corrosion resistance

    Steel resists the humidity and salt exposure that warp wood framing and invite mold along the coast.

  • Termite and fire resistance

    No pest treatments, lower fire-insurance exposure, and a structural lifespan rated at 150+ years.

Naples carries some of the state's highest premiums

Certified Category 5 construction is built to qualify for windstorm insurance discounts — and free solar keeps the savings going every month.
