Car wash construction requires coordination across regulatory approvals, specialized equipment suppliers, and trade contractors simultaneously — and none of it can be sequenced casually. We've worked in live-operation construction environments, managing active businesses during a build, which is exactly the discipline car wash projects demand. We coordinate with equipment suppliers before rough-in, manage the permit and inspection sequence, and plan utility interruptions to protect operational revenue. Fuel projects leave no room for improvisation. We bring the preparation to match that.
What We Build
Express Tunnel Car Wash
Complete tunnel structure, conveyor equipment pad, entry canopy, stacking lanes, vacuum stations, and all site work — built for high-volume express throughput on Delray Beach commercial corridors.
In-Bay Automatic (IBA)
Single or multi-bay IBA facilities with equipment pads, canopy structure, utility rough-in, drainage, and full CO — suited for smaller Delray Beach parcels where tunnel footprint isn't feasible.
Self-Serve Wash Bays
Multi-bay self-serve structures with engineered drainage, utility connections, bay equipment rough-in, and Certificate of Occupancy — a lower-capex option for the right Delray Beach site.
Site & Civil Development
Ingress/egress design, stacking lane layout, paving, SFWMD-compliant drainage, and utility connections — coordinated for City of Delray Beach site plan review and traffic engineering approval.
Utility & Equipment Pad
Heavy electrical service coordination (400–800A for tunnel operations), water supply, wastewater and water reclaim system rough-in, and reinforced equipment pad construction per manufacturer specs.
Permit & Certificate of Occupancy
Full permit package submittal through the City of Delray Beach Building Division, managing all plan review comments, inspections, and final CO sign-off through to operational handoff.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our construction services in this area.
What types of car washes do you build?
We build express exterior tunnel car washes, full-service car washes, flex-serve facilities, and in-bay automatic (IBA) systems. Our GC scope covers the building structure, vacuum canopy, utility connections (water, sewer, electrical), equipment pad and pit construction, and all site work. Car wash equipment is supplied and installed by specialty vendors we coordinate with throughout the project.
Do you handle water reclaim system construction for car washes?
We construct the water reclaim system infrastructure — the underground cistern, pump vault, and plumbing rough-in — as part of the GC scope. Water reclaim equipment installation and commissioning is handled by the equipment vendor. Most municipalities in Palm Beach County require water reclaim systems for commercial car washes.
How long does car wash construction take in South Florida?
Express tunnel car wash construction typically runs 5–8 months from permit submittal to opening, depending on site conditions and local permitting timelines. The Palm Beach County permitting process generally adds 8–12 weeks before construction begins. Equipment lead times — often 12–20 weeks for tunnel equipment — should be ordered concurrent with permitting.
What permits are required to build a car wash in Palm Beach County?
Car wash construction requires a building permit, site plan approval, stormwater/SFWMD permits, utility connection approvals, and in some municipalities, a special use or conditional use permit for the car wash use. We manage all permit submissions and coordinate with the applicable city or county building department through CO.
