On the surface, building a home near the beach might seem the same as anywhere else concrete, wood, nails, and a vision. But those who live in Gulf Shores know better. Coastal building is different, and it demands a builder who understands both the challenges and the solutions.
Environmental Challenges
Salt air corrodes metal, humidity warps materials, and hurricanes test every corner of a structure. What works inland won’t hold up here. That’s why we use corrosion-resistant fasteners, moisture-resistant materials, and fortified construction techniques.
Regulations and Codes
Coastal zones come with stricter rules for elevation, flood protection, and environmental impact. Inexperienced builders may stumble here, delaying projects. G&M Construction’s deep knowledge of Gulf Shores regulations keeps builds on track.
Site Selection Matters
Not every lot is build-ready. Flood zones, soil conditions, and setbacks all influence design. We guide clients through these factors before the first shovel hits the ground.
Design for Lifestyle
Coastal homes aren’t just about durability—they’re about embracing the lifestyle. Open floorplans, big porches, and water views are essentials we design into every project.
Our Solution: Experience
The difference in coastal building comes down to one word: experience. We’ve built through storms, navigated countless permits, and created homes that balance strength and style. That’s what makes G&M Construction the right choice for coastal living.
