Step 3: Your Property's Location and Government Regulations
The property location is important to begin the planning process. Your county most likely has governing regulations that we will need to know before we can begin planning and designing a new seawall. Permitting is most likely necessary, and inspections may be required.

We are well-versed on requirements for almost every county in the area. We have put together a permits guide to help our customers have a better understanding of the process requirements.
Step 4: Design, Planning and Permitting
Once the regulations are known, it is time to put together a submission for approval to obtain the necessary permits.
Seawall Materials
What material is best for a seawall depends upon information gathered to include the property's location, size, any governing restrictions, and other factors including customer budget. Once the material is determined, there is more detailed planning for all necessary equipment and supplies needed for the project.
The Duncan Dedication - The team at Duncan Seawall will review the materials with you, and we will explain what materials would be best for your property.
Seawall Engineering Design and Document Compilation
Again, your county, or city, will list what you must submit for a seawall replacement project. Along with documentation to communicate the project's detailed description, a certified engineered design must be created to present for approval and permitting.
Once all the necessary information is compiled, all required permits must be obtained. Permitting may take some time.
The Duncan Difference - You will learn that we have built a team to deliver the highest-quality services to our customers. We know the permitting process. One of our team members has years of experience with Florida's Department of Environmental Protection, and he knows what can and cannot be permitted.
Step 5: Project Construction to Completion
Any project such as a property-supporting seawall should be done in a precise and timely manner. There may be wait times for inspections that are required during the construction process and at completion.
The Duncan Delivery - At any time during the project, we are able to track exactly where we are compared to the final construction through our Customer Relationship Management software.
