Bird Key waterfront improvements need the proposed dock, lift and shoreline work to be described consistently across the contractor’s drawings and approval requests. Custom Dock & Davit and Florida Shoreline and Foundation both undertake these marine projects. Decide which existing structures remain before requesting prices, then identify who will coordinate the documents and any changes to the agreed design.
The Bird Key Homeowners Association handbook lists lifts, fixed or floating docks and seawalls among projects needing its review, alongside governmental permitting. One approval should not be treated as the other. Custom Dock & Davit advertises technical drawings, permit submissions and inspection scheduling, which provides a starting point for assigning responsibilities. Florida Shoreline and Foundation also offers broader shoreline treatments; keep any proposed alternative clearly connected to the property’s intended marine layout.

Scope note: Residential pools. The Lakewood Ranch maintenance/equipment service area extends up to State Road 64, but a separate resurfacing boundary is not stated. Confirm your exact address and whether renovation-only coverage applies.
They are separate processes in the Bird Key handbook. Ask who coordinates each applicable submission and how revisions are carried through both.
Both contractors advertise those services. Ask for individual scope lines and the shared design assumptions rather than a single unexplained allowance.
Agree on delivery of the final drawings and approvals to the owner. Custom Dock & Davit offers submission coordination, but document handover should be explicit.
Florida Shoreline and Foundation offers multiple shoreline methods. Request the specific proposed treatment and its rationale before comparing it with a conventional wall.
