Fort Lauderdale's boutique custom home builder — built to your vision, delivered by ownership.
CKA Construction Group has spent 22 years building one-of-a-kind luxury homes across Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and South Florida’s most coveted coastal communities. Every project begins and ends with Kevin and Cesar — not a project manager you’ve never met.
The Boutique Difference
What Makes a Boutique Builder Different
When you choose CKA, you are not entering a production pipeline. There are no handoffs to junior project managers, no templated floor plans, and no compromises on materials to protect a margin. You are working directly with ownership from the first conversation through final walk-through.
That is not a selling point. That is how we operate.
- 22+ years building luxury custom homes across South Florida
- 264 completed projects — residential, waterfront, and institutional
- 748,000+ square feet built across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties
- 4.9-star Google rating — built on referrals, not volume
The Boutique Difference
Our process from concept to completion.
Building a custom home in Fort Lauderdale involves dozens of decisions, multiple permit phases, and hundreds of subcontractor touchpoints. CKA manages every layer of that complexity so you don’t have to.
Vision & Consultation
Every engagement begins with a direct conversation with Kevin or Cesar. We listen before we plan — understanding your lifestyle, your vision, and the non-negotiables that define your ideal home.
Design Team Coordination
CKA works closely with your architect and design team — including our preferred partners at Strang Design — to ensure the plans that reach permitting reflect exactly what you want to live in.
Permitting & Pre-Construction
South Florida’s permitting environment is complex. Our team handles every submission, every revision, and every inspector relationship so your project doesn’t stall before a single foundation is poured.
Construction & Quality Oversight
Kevin and Cesar are on-site. Every subcontractor is vetted. Every finish is reviewed against the original specification. We do not approve what does not meet the standard.
Final Delivery
A CKA home is delivered complete — not “punch list pending.” We walk the home with you, address every detail, and hand you keys to a residence that matches your original vision.

FAQ
Questions you might have.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Fort Lauderdale?
Custom home timelines in South Florida typically range from 12 to 24 months, depending on design complexity, permitting, and site conditions. CKA provides a detailed project schedule during pre-construction — and holds to it.
What is the cost to build a luxury custom home in South Florida?
Luxury custom home construction in the Fort Lauderdale and Broward market generally starts at $500–$700 per square foot for high-end finishes, with waterfront and ultra-luxury projects often exceeding that range. CKA works within your defined budget and provides transparent cost management throughout the build.
What is the difference between a custom home builder and a production builder?
A production builder constructs homes from standardized plans in volume — modifications are limited and personal attention is minimal. A custom home builder like CKA starts with your vision and builds from the ground up, with ownership directly accountable at every phase. There is no template. There is no average.
Do you handle permitting in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County?
Yes. CKA manages the full permitting process across Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach — including all municipal submissions, inspections, and code compliance.
Can CKA work with my existing architect?
Absolutely. CKA integrates with your design team from day one. We also maintain established relationships with South Florida architects — including Strang Design — if you need a referral.
