Does PrimeBid Construction LLC build in Bonita Springs and Lee County?

Yes. PrimeBid Construction LLC (FL CGC1533249) builds custom homes across Lee County, including Bonita Springs, Estero, and the surrounding coastal and golf communities. We are a Florida-licensed general contractor serving Southwest Florida.

How long does a Bonita Springs custom home take?

Design typically runs three to six months. Building permit review through the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department varies with permit-office workload. Construction itself is usually nine to fourteen months once permits are issued. The total elapsed timeline from contract signing to certificate of occupancy is typically fourteen to twenty-four months. HOA architectural review in communities like Bonita Bay or Pelican Landing can run in parallel with permitting if the design packet is coordinated.

Do you build in Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, and Spanish Wells?

Yes. Each community has its own architectural review process with distinct standards on massing, roof pitch, color, materials, and landscape. We coordinate the community design packet alongside the building permit packet so review windows overlap rather than stack.

Will you build on a lot I already own in Bonita Springs?

Yes. Some Bonita Springs lots, particularly larger parcels in the more rural eastern parts of the city, use well and septic rather than central water and sewer. Where septic is required we coordinate the Florida Department of Health septic permit, the well permit, and the City of Bonita Springs building permit as one packet. Lot size and zoning history are confirmed during the buildability review before design.

What flood zones are common in Bonita Springs and how do they affect the build?

Bonita Springs lots range across multiple FEMA flood zones, including X (minimal risk), AE (one-percent annual flood risk), and VE along the coast near Estero Bay. Lots in AE, VE, and other zones with a Base Flood Elevation require finished floor elevation above BFE per Florida Building Code and City of Bonita Springs code. Flood zone affects foundation type, finish floor elevation, and insurance.

Who issues the building permit for a custom home in Bonita Springs, the City or Lee County?

The City of Bonita Springs. Because Bonita Springs incorporated as a city in 1999, residential building permits within city limits are issued by the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department. Lee County issues permits only for unincorporated areas outside the city. We file the plans, engineering, energy calculations, and Florida Product Approvals with the City as one packet.

Building in Bonita Springs is its own discipline

Four reasons custom-built makes more sense than tract for most Bonita Springs lots.

📐

Lot variation across Bonita Springs

Bonita Springs lots range from coastal parcels near Estero Bay to river lots along the Imperial River to interior golf-community lots. Flood zones run from X to AE and VE, and a single street can shift zones depending on grade and distance from the water. A template plan will not pass the same engineering review on two different Bonita Springs lots.

•Coastal and Estero Bay lots carry different foundation and elevation requirements than interior lots
•Imperial River lots face floodplain and finished-floor-elevation constraints
•Flood zone variation is significant even within a single community
•Site-specific engineering is the only path through plans review

📋

HOA architectural review

Most Bonita Springs gated communities require architectural review board approval in parallel with the building permit. Design that anticipates community standards (massing, roof pitch, materials, landscape buffers) avoids redesign cycles.

•Bonita Bay carries architectural standards on roof, color, and landscape
•Pelican Landing has community design standards distinct from public code
•Spanish Wells and similar communities require ARB approval before permitting
•Drawings can be coordinated so community review runs alongside the building permit

Wind exposure and storm history

Lee County sits in Florida's hurricane corridor. Bonita Springs saw major storm surge and wind from Ian (2022) and Irma (2017). Wind-load design and impact-rated openings are not optional features on a Bonita Springs home.

•Wind speed and exposure category per FBC and ASCE 7
•Impact-rated openings or shutters required per site wind zone
•Roof assemblies tested as full systems for wind uplift
•Florida Product Approvals documented at permit submittal

•Right-of-way and driveway permits coordinated with the same submittal
•Review windows vary with permit-office workload

How PrimeBid Construction LLC handles a Bonita Springs build

Lot review first. Then design. Then permit. Then build.

Most Bonita Springs custom home delays start at the lot. A site that needs unexpected fill, has unrecorded easements, or is in a flood zone the buyer did not catch will burn months in redesign. We front-load the site review before drawings start.

Lot review

Soil bore, survey, FEMA flood zone confirmation, deed restriction review, HOA review. We surface buildability issues before architecture begins.

Design + HOA submittal

Architecture and engineering coordinated together. HOA architectural review packet prepared in parallel with the building permit packet so the two reviews run on the same calendar.

City of Bonita Springs permit

Plans, engineering stamps, energy calculations, and Florida Product Approvals filed as one packet through the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department. Review windows vary with permit-office workload.

Construction

Foundation, vertical, dry-in, MEP, finishes. Third-party inspections at each code milestone. Owner reporting cadence agreed at contract.

CO + handoff

Certificate of occupancy from the City of Bonita Springs, walk-through, punch resolution, manufacturer warranty registration, statutory Florida warranty period.
