ADUs on larger Davie lots
Davie is different from the rest of our service area. Much of the Town of Davie, especially west of University Drive in areas like Shenandoah and Long Lake Ranches, has larger lots, a rural feel and equestrian properties. That room makes a detached ADU, guest house or pool house realistic in a way it often is not in denser Hollywood or Fort Lauderdale. Families use the space for parents, adult children, long-term guests or a quiet home office set apart from the main house.
More space brings its own planning questions. Some Davie properties use septic systems and wells, and the location of the drainfield limits where a new building can go. Long driveways and gates affect how materials and equipment reach the site. Whether a second living unit is allowed, and how it can be used, depends on your zoning district and the Town of Davie's current rules, so we confirm that before design begins.
Outdoor living in Davie
Bigger yards let you build a full outdoor living area: a covered patio connected to an outdoor kitchen, a pergola beside the pool, a fire feature and landscaping that frames it all. Open lots also catch more sun and wind, so shade, airflow and wind-rated structures matter. We plan grading and drainage carefully, because water on flat, open land has to be directed away from the house and existing structures.
Permits and hurricane rules
The Town of Davie runs its own building permits, and like all of Broward County it falls under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules of the Florida Building Code. ADUs, guest houses, pergolas and patio roofs usually require a permit, engineered footings and connections and products approved for that zone.
