Warbird Construction is a licensed general contractor serving Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding Broward County communities — delivering commercial construction, residential builds and renovations, and pool projects for clients who need a contractor with the experience, licensing, and operational capacity to get it done right. With over 30 years of industry experience and more than $1.1 billion in completed project value, we bring a level of expertise to Fort Lauderdale projects that most local contractors can't match.
Fort Lauderdale is one of the most active construction markets in South Florida — and one of the most demanding. Between the City of Fort Lauderdale's permitting office, Broward County code requirements, and the complexity of building in an established urban environment, local knowledge matters as much as a contractor license. Warbird Construction has both.
Warbird Construction holds a Florida Certified General Contractor license (CGC1524919) and a Florida Commercial Pool Contractor license (CPC1461045), both valid throughout Fort Lauderdale and all of Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's commercial construction market spans office, retail, hospitality, mixed-use, and institutional projects — all of which come with their own permitting timelines, code requirements, and coordination demands. Warbird Construction handles commercial projects from pre-construction planning through certificate of occupancy, serving as the single point of contact for owners, developers, and institutional clients who need a licensed, experienced GC with a track record on complex builds.
Our principal, Eric Squilla, has led commercial construction for school districts, government agencies, and private sector clients throughout South Florida — bringing the same accountability and precision to every Fort Lauderdale project.
Warbird Construction's portfolio includes the Pinecrest Markham Center in Fort Lauderdale — a commercial project that reflects our capacity for complex, high-visibility builds in Broward County. Our portfolio page shows additional commercial work across South Florida.
Fort Lauderdale's residential neighborhoods — from the barrier island to Victoria Park, Colee Hammock, and the inland waterway communities — present a wide range of construction contexts. Warbird Construction handles custom home builds, whole-home renovations, additions, and remodeling projects throughout Fort Lauderdale, with a full understanding of the city's permitting process and what different project types require from a compliance standpoint.

As a Florida-licensed Commercial Pool Contractor (CPC1461045), Warbird Construction builds residential and commercial pools throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. We manage the full scope — permit applications, excavation, shell construction, equipment installation, decking, and final inspection — so you're not coordinating between a general contractor and a separate pool company.
Fort Lauderdale pool permitting runs through the City's Building Services Division and varies by neighborhood and zoning. We handle that process as part of our standard scope.
