S M P Construction Inc

What this record tells you

S M P Construction Inc holds Florida licence CGC041805, a CGC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered general contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1987, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 6% of the 3,585 active general contracting licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2014. That is 39 years of continuous licensure.

S M P Construction Inc is one of 90 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Ft Lauderdale, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Paul Bryan Melson additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
