General Engineering, Development & Construction Corp

What this record tells you

General Engineering, Development & Construction Corp holds Florida licence CGC1508383, 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 2005, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 31% of the 2,706 active general contracting licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 21 years of continuous licensure.

General Engineering, Development & Construction Corp is one of 151 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Palm Beach Gardens, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Awwad Said Abukhalil additionally holds 3 other active Florida licences 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.
