Empire Construction Group, LLC

What this record tells you

Empire Construction Group, LLC holds Florida licence CGC1523955, 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 2016, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 63% of the 626 active general contracting licences based in the Daytona Beach & Volusia area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2008. That is 10 years of continuous licensure.

Empire Construction Group, LLC is one of 67 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Deland, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Philip Preston Thompson additionally holds 2 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.
