Multifamily Design-Build, Apartment Renovation & Capital Improvements
GL Lewis Construction Services renovates existing apartment and multifamily properties—from interior unit upgrades and common-area modernization to exterior improvements, building systems, occupied-property phasing, permitting, inspections and turnover.
Multifamily construction planned around residents, operations and long-term property value.
Every property has different unit conditions, occupancy, access, building systems, capital priorities, financing requirements and turnover goals. The scope is developed around the existing buildings, the approved documents and the owner’s operating plan.

Why Coordinate Early
Build the property plan before construction starts.
A multifamily renovation is more than unit finishes. It must support residents, leasing and maintenance operations, life safety, access, inspections, procurement, turnover timing and the owner’s capital strategy.
Review feasibility before acquisition, refinancing or final capital approval.
Coordinate units, common areas, amenities, exterior work and building systems in one plan.
Multifamily renovation and apartment construction across Central Florida.
GL Lewis Construction Services supports existing multifamily renovation, apartment capital improvement and design-build projects throughout Central Florida and the Florida Space Coast, subject to project scope, site conditions, scheduling and contract requirements.
A multifamily renovation can include apartment kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, lighting, HVAC, electrical and plumbing work; lobbies, corridors, leasing offices and amenities; accessibility; roofing, windows, waterproofing and façades; parking and site improvements; permitting, inspections, punch-list completion and closeout. The final scope depends on existing conditions, occupancy, approved drawings, code requirements and owner priorities.
Can occupied apartment buildings be renovated in phases?
Yes, many projects can be phased by building, floor, stack, unit group or turnover schedule. The plan must address resident access, temporary barriers, dust and noise control, utility interruptions, life safety, inspections, staging, work hours and return-to-service requirements.
Can GL Lewis review a property before purchase?
A pre-purchase construction review can identify visible existing-condition concerns, probable interior and exterior scope, access and staging constraints, utility and building-system questions, likely drawing and permit needs, schedule risks and preliminary budget assumptions.
Does design-build include drawings and permitting?
Design-build can coordinate the owner, contractor, properly licensed architects and engineers, consultants, permit documents, procurement, construction trades, inspections and closeout through one organized delivery process. The exact professional services and responsibilities are defined by written agreement.
Do multifamily projects require accessibility and fair-housing review?
Accessibility requirements depend on the property, age, funding, occupancy, areas being altered and applicable laws and codes. The project team should verify the required analysis with the appropriate design professionals, authorities and legal advisers.
Can unit turns and larger capital projects be coordinated together?
Yes. A property program may combine recurring unit turns with larger common-area, exterior, building-system or site improvements. Separate schedules, budgets, procurement plans and quality-control standards help keep each workstream organized.
