Our team meets the rigorous safety standards outlined in MSHA Part 46 and Part 48, covering both surface and underground operations. These standards apply to limestone, sand, gravel, and aggregate facilities that form the foundation of Central Florida’s construction supply chain.

We integrate safety planning from the first site walk to the final inspection. Every worker is trained, every site is audited, and every procedure is verified for compliance before work begins.

Our Commercial Construction Process in Ocala

At Seanote Construction, every Ocala project follows a proven process that keeps schedules tight, permits compliant, and communication clear from planning to completion.

  • Step 1 – Preconstruction Planning
    We begin with a walkthrough of your goals, drawings, and budget. Our team reviews site conditions, confirms compliance with the 2023 Florida Building Code, and prepares a transparent estimate and timeline before work begins.

  • Step 2 – Permitting and Coordination
    Our team handles all permitting with local authorities in Ocala, Marion County, and nearby jurisdictions. We submit complete, code-accurate plans to minimize review delays and keep your project moving smoothly.

  • Step 3 – Construction and Communication
    During construction, clients receive consistent updates, scheduled check-ins, and detailed progress reports. You’ll always know who’s on site, what’s completed, and what’s coming next.

  • Step 4 – Quality Assurance and Safety
    Supervisors inspect each trade’s work before sign-off. Our crews meet or exceed state and federal safety standards for commercial, industrial, and mixed-use builds.

  • Step 5 – Final Walkthrough and Warranty
    We close each project with a full client walkthrough to confirm completion. You’ll receive all inspection reports, warranty details, and maintenance documentation for long-term confidence in your investment.

From downtown Ocala developments to regional commercial builds, our process makes sure every project is delivered with precision, transparency, and pride.

 

What Is the Difference Between Commercial and Residential Construction in Ocala?

In Ocala, the distinction between commercial and residential construction involves different codes, materials, and oversight requirements. Both play necessary roles in shaping the city’s growth, from business hubs near Downtown Ocala to new housing developments in Marion Oaks and Silver Springs Shores.

Commercial construction focuses on buildings used for business operations such as offices, retail centers, warehouses, medical facilities, and restaurants. These projects often require coordination with entities like the City of Ocala Building Department and the Marion County Growth Services Division for zoning, fire safety, and accessibility compliance. 

Commercial builds must meet stricter structural and occupancy standards under the Florida Building Code (2023) to handle higher traffic, niche systems, and greater safety demands.

Residential construction, on the other hand, includes single-family homes, duplexes, and small multi-unit dwellings. Permits are typically simpler and regulated primarily through local residential code requirements. These projects focus on comfort, energy efficiency, and livability, rather than commercial-scale infrastructure.
