Design, permitting, construction all within one company
Checked first
Jurisdiction, water and sewer, flood zone, control line
An Estates parcel needs a well, a septic system and a driveway before it needs a floor plan. A beachfront parcel may need a state permit from FDEP before Collier County will look at it. Both are called Naples. We establish which one you own before anyone draws anything.

What makes building in Naples different
Four things that decide a Collier County build, in the order they bite.
In the Estates, the site work is the project
Golden Gate Estates parcels are not served by central water or sewer. A new home there needs a private well, an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system, and driveway access, and none of that runs through the building department. Septic permitting goes through the Florida Department of Health on the DEP 4015 application, supported by a site evaluation covering soil, groundwater depth, slope and setback distances, with written approval issued before work proceeds. That is a separate agency on a separate calendar from your building permit, and it is the single most common reason an Estates build starts later than the owner expected. We run it first rather than in sequence behind design.
- Estates parcels rely on a private well and an onsite septic system
- Septic runs through the Florida Department of Health, not the building department
- Site evaluation covers soil, groundwater depth, slope and setbacks
On the coast, the state reviews before the county does
Seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, construction is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection under FL Statutes §161.053 and Chapter 62B-33 of the Florida Administrative Code. The part worth knowing before you buy: no major structure is eligible for a CCCL permit seaward of the 30-year erosion projection, apart from coastal and shore protection structures and single-family dwellings that meet the siting requirements in §161.053(5). A single-family home is the exception, and it is conditional rather than automatic. Repair or modification within the confines of an existing foundation, not involving the foundation itself, is exempt. The control line is a surveyed line rather than a set distance from the water, so where it falls is a per-parcel question we answer against FDEP mapping before design.
- FDEP regulates seaward of the CCCL under §161.053 and Ch. 62B-33 F.A.C.
- Single-family dwellings are the narrow exception seaward of the 30-year erosion projection
- The CCCL is surveyed, not a fixed distance, so it is located per parcel
Your parcel decides which building department you get
Collier County permits are issued by the Growth Management Department, Division of Building Plan Review and Inspection, at 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, through the CityView portal. That office covers unincorporated Collier, which is most of what people call Naples. The City of Naples runs its own separate building department, as do Marco Island and Everglades City, each with their own requirements, fees and timelines. A Naples mailing address does not tell you which one you are in, and the answer changes the submittal, the fee schedule and the review calendar.
- Unincorporated Collier files with Growth Management at 2800 N Horseshoe Drive
- The City of Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City permit their own work
- Jurisdiction is confirmed by parcel, never by mailing address
Architectural review is the norm, and it runs on its own calendar
Collier is dense with named, master-planned communities that review exterior design before anything is built. That review is not part of the building permit and does not wait for it. The mistake we see most often is treating it as a formality at the end, which turns a design decision into a redesign. We prepare the association packet alongside the permit packet so the two reviews run on the same calendar rather than end to end, and we raise anything a committee is likely to object to while it is still cheap to change.
- Architectural review is separate from, and parallel to, the building permit
- Association packets are prepared alongside the permit set
- Likely objections are surfaced during design, not after
How PrimeBid Construction LLC handles a Naples build
Establish what the lot actually is. Then design.
Most Collier County delays are decided before a drawing exists. A parcel that needs a well and septic, sits seaward of the control line, or falls under a city rather than the county is a different project from the one the owner thought they were buying. We settle all of that first.
Parcel review
Survey, soil bore, FEMA flood zone, deed restrictions, and the three questions that decide the rest: which building department governs, whether central water and sewer are available, and where the parcel sits relative to the Coastal Construction Control Line.
Agency path, before design
Where a well and septic are needed, the Florida Department of Health path starts now rather than after drawings. Where the parcel is seaward of the CCCL, the FDEP review is scoped now, because siting requirements under §161.053(5) constrain the design rather than follow it.
Design and association review in parallel
Architecture and engineering coordinated together, with the association architectural packet prepared alongside the permit set so the two calendars overlap instead of stacking.
Permit submittal to the right authority
Collier County Growth Management through CityView, or the City of Naples building department, depending on the parcel. Collier publishes no guaranteed review window, so we do not quote one.
Build, inspect, close out
One general contractor carrying the schedule through inspections to certificate of occupancy, with the well, septic and any state approvals closed out alongside the building permit rather than after it.
Naples custom home questions
- Does PrimeBid Construction LLC build in Naples and Collier County?
- Yes. PrimeBid Construction LLC (FL CGC1533249) is a Florida State Certified General Contractor building custom homes across Collier County, including the Estates and the coastal communities.
- I bought a lot in Golden Gate Estates. What do I need beyond a building permit?
- A private well, an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system, and driveway access. Estates parcels are not served by central water or sewer. The septic side runs through the Florida Department of Health on the DEP 4015 application, with a site evaluation covering soil, groundwater depth, slope and setback distances, and written approval before work proceeds. That is a different agency on a different calendar from the building permit, which is why we start it before design rather than after.
- Can I build on a beachfront lot in Naples?
- Often yes, but a state agency is involved. Seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, FDEP regulates construction under FL Statutes §161.053 and Chapter 62B-33 F.A.C. No major structure is eligible for a permit seaward of the 30-year erosion projection except coastal and shore protection structures and single-family dwellings meeting the siting requirements of §161.053(5). So a house is the exception rather than the rule there, and it is conditional. Because the control line is surveyed rather than a set distance from the water, we locate it against FDEP mapping for your specific parcel before anyone designs to it.
- Do I file with the City of Naples or with Collier County?
- It depends on the parcel, and the mailing address is not the answer. Collier County Growth Management, Division of Building Plan Review and Inspection, at 2800 North Horseshoe Drive, permits unincorporated Collier through the CityView portal, and that covers most of what people call Naples. The City of Naples runs its own building department, as do Marco Island and Everglades City. We confirm it by parcel before preparing anything.
- How long does a Naples custom home take?
- We do not publish a timeline as a commitment, because the two things that move it most are outside our control: which agencies are involved with your parcel, and how long their reviews take. Collier County publishes no guaranteed review window. What we will do at parcel review is map the specific approvals your lot needs, in the order they have to happen, so you are looking at your project rather than an average.
- Can my association stop the design I want?
- An architectural committee can require changes to exterior design, and in most Collier communities that review is a real step rather than a formality. It is separate from the building permit and runs on its own calendar. We prepare the association packet alongside the permit set so the reviews overlap, and we raise likely objections during design while changing them is still inexpensive.
- What should I check before I buy a Collier County lot?
- Four things, in this order: which building department governs the parcel, whether central water and sewer reach it or you are on a well and septic, its flood zone, and whether any part of it sits seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. Any one of those changes the cost and the calendar materially. Send us the parcel and we will return that summary before you commit to design.
