Shell Construction

Shell construction involves construction the entire exterior of a structure rather than the entire building. Many property owners, architects, and developers prefer to hire shell construction contractors and then manage the interior construction themselves. Our company has been catering to customers in and around Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, as well as Deerfield Beach. We proudly serve clients across Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Lake Worth, and Parkland.

We also have a very solid presence in Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, as well as the surrounding areas. From pre-construction to completion of the shell, the LeLack Construction team has the qualified craftsmen and proven methodology to produce a superior project at a logical and fair price.

The shell and concrete division of our company is rooted in integrity of the structures we build, the integrity of the processes we utilize, and the integrity of the professionals we employ. Once we have completed the shell construction aspect of the job, that structure is ready for all the different “finish trades” such as roofing, flooring, cabinetry, drywall and more.

• We start from the ground up, dig the footers that hold the concrete and steel to reinforce the foundation of the structure.
• After that the work on the actual foundation starts; in this phase we pour the concrete slab, install the pilings and stem wall etc.
• After that, the construction of the exterior of the structure will be done either in wood framing or concrete.
• Once the plywood and roof trusses and plywood is set the shell construction is complete.

At LeLack Construction, our shell construction services encompass a diverse range of projects that necessitate robust, weather-resistant structural foundations. We specialize in residential garage shells, workshop buildings, storage facilities, and barn structures that provide the basic framework for you to complete according to your specific needs. Our team also handles commercial shell projects, including warehouse spaces, retail building frameworks, and office building shells for developers and business owners. We’re experienced with both traditional wood-frame shell construction and steel-frame structures, depending on your project requirements and local building codes. Agricultural buildings are another specialty area where we excel, creating durable shells for equipment storage, livestock facilities, and processing buildings that can withstand harsh weather conditions. Our shell construction also extends to recreational structures, such as pool houses, cabana frameworks, and outdoor pavilion shells, which provide the foundation for your finishing contractors to work with. What makes our shell construction valuable is that we handle all the complex structural elements while leaving you the flexibility to customize interiors later. We ensure proper foundation work, frame the structure to code, install roofing systems, and provide basic weather protection so your shell is ready for electrical, plumbing, and finishing work when you’re prepared to proceed.

Our custom shell construction approach ensures that every project is explicitly tailored to your intended use and plans. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions, as every property and client has unique requirements. During our consultation process, we discuss your long-term vision, whether you’re planning immediate interior completion or phased construction over several years. We work closely with architects and engineers when projects require specialized design elements or unusual structural requirements. Our custom approach includes designing for future modifications, planning utility rough-ins, and incorporating features like oversized openings, reinforced load-bearing sections, or specialized ventilation systems. We can accommodate unique site conditions, challenging lot configurations, and specific architectural styles that match your existing structures. From foundation specifications to roof configurations, every element gets customized to ensure your shell construction provides exactly the framework you need for successful project completion.

Shell construction work is a crucial aspect of any structure and the resilience and durability of all the other features that are built on it depend on how solid the former is. From the outset of every project, we coordinate with professional trades including architects and engineers. This ensures a seamless project. Take a look at why clients prefer to hire us:
