Gem Construction & Engineering Corp

What this record tells you

Gem Construction & Engineering Corp holds Florida licence CGC1529197, 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 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 64% 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 6 years of continuous licensure.

Gem Construction & Engineering Corp is one of 187 active general contracting licences registered to an address in Miramar, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Gustavo E Morris 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 08/31/2028. 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.
