Residential New Construction

Ground-up homes built across Florida by a licensed Fort Lauderdale general contractor — custom homes, spec homes, additions, and major renovations, with roofing and plumbing coordinated in-house.

Ground-Up Homebuilding

From foundation to final walkthrough, one accountable builder

KNU Construction delivers residential new construction across Florida — from ground-up single-family homes to custom and spec builds. As a licensed contractor in Fort Lauderdale, we manage the entire build under one contract so homeowners and developers work with a single accountable team from permit to keys.

What sets KNU apart for residential new construction in Florida is that we coordinate roofing and plumbing in-house. Two of the trades most critical to a home's performance and schedule are controlled by the same licensed team building it — meaning fewer hand-offs, tighter sequencing, and a finished home that holds up to Florida's climate.

What We Build

Residential construction scope, fully covered

Whether you are building one custom home or a run of spec homes, KNU manages the full residential scope as a licensed South Florida construction company.

The In-House Advantage

Roofing and plumbing under the same roof

Most homebuilders subcontract roofing and plumbing to outside trades and hope the schedule holds. KNU is different. Because we are also a licensed roofing contractor and plumbing contractor, these critical trades are coordinated by the same team building your home.

That means the roof and the rough-in are sequenced with the rest of the build instead of bolted on, quality is controlled by the contractor who's accountable for the whole project, and there are fewer hand-offs to slow you down. For Florida homes — where roofing and plumbing performance matter most — that control is a real advantage.

  • In-house roofing keeps the dry-in on schedule
  • In-house plumbing tightens rough-in coordination
  • One contractor accountable for the full home
  • Fewer hand-offs, fewer schedule gaps
