Custom Buildings in St. Johns County, Florida
St. Johns County stretches from the Jacksonville line down past St. Augustine, and it holds two very different kinds of property. There is the coastal and suburban side, where lots are tighter and wind requirements are strictest, and there is the farm country inland around Hastings and Elkton.
Those two sides need different buildings. Along the coast and in the newer communities we are building garages, workshops, and covered storage that has to fit the lot and often an association’s rules. Inland, it is equipment barns, hay storage, and horse barns on real acreage.

Coastal engineering and inland farm work
Wind is the defining requirement in this county. Design speeds are higher than inland Central Florida and increase as you approach the Atlantic, so the engineering is done for your parcel rather than a regional average.
The agricultural belt inland around Hastings and Elkton has been farmed for generations, and those buildings are judged on span, door sizes, and equipment clearance more than on finish. That is straightforward post-frame and red iron work.
Permits come from the City of St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, or the St. Johns County building department depending on where the property sits, and the newer communities often add architectural review on top. We check all of that before design.
We build throughout St. Johns County, including St. Augustine, Hastings, Elkton, Ponte Vedra, Vilano Beach, World Golf Village, Switzerland, and Julington Creek. See our St. Augustine page or view all service areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build in the Hastings and Elkton farm area?
Yes. Equipment and implement barns, hay storage, and workshops are regular work in that part of the county, and wide clear spans and tall doors are routine for us.
How much do coastal wind requirements change a building?
They change the engineering rather than the appearance. Post connections, bracing, and fastening are designed for higher pressures near the coast, and each project is engineered for its own address.
Will a homeowners association affect my project?
In the newer communities, often yes. Architectural review can govern materials, colors, rooflines, and placement, so we design to those requirements rather than finding out at inspection.
