Cape Coral Construction
& Permit Services

Cape Coral is built on a dredged canal system with over 400 miles of waterways connecting to the Gulf of Mexico and Charlotte Harbor. Approximately 62% of the city is in FEMA's SFHA. Storm surge from Hurricane Ian (2022) submerged entire neighborhoods. Canal-front properties face flood exposure from both direct surge and canal backflow.

Hurricane Ian made landfall near Cape Coral in September 2022 with 150+ mph winds and produced storm surge of 12–18+ feet in the most exposed areas. Entire canal-front neighborhoods were destroyed. Thousands of properties received substantial damage determinations, triggering mandatory elevation requirements for repairs.

Yes. MKC performs independent substantial damage assessments, coordinates with the City of Cape Coral's floodplain administrator, and manages the full elevation and rebuild process for post-Ian properties throughout Cape Coral.

Cape Coral has its own Building Department. MKC manages all permits directly with the City of Cape Coral, including building permits, floodplain development permits, and trade permits. Post-Ian permit volumes remain high and timelines are extended — MKC's experience with the city's process helps manage expectations.

MKC provides full construction services in Cape Coral — from storm damage repair and elevation to complete rebuild and new construction. We coordinate all trades including structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing through our licensed team.
