Delray Beach's active commercial real estate market includes periodic gas station development, renovation, and rebrand activity — driven by fuel brand transitions, site redevelopments along Federal Highway and Military Trail, and new-build projects on infill commercial parcels. Gas station construction divides clearly into two contractor scopes: the petroleum scope (underground storage tanks, fuel lines, dispensers) handled by a licensed petroleum contractor operating under FDEP oversight; and the above-ground GC scope (C-store building, canopy structure, site paving and parking, above-ground utility connections, and all interior work) handled by a licensed general contractor. Pajaziti & Associates provides the GC scope and coordinates with the petroleum contractor as part of the overall project team.
Above-ground gas station construction in Delray Beach permits through the City of Delray Beach Building Division. Our scope includes the building permit for the C-store structure, the structural canopy permit, site work documentation, and all above-ground MEP. The city's plan review is thorough — we prepare complete permit packages designed to minimize review comments and accelerate permit issuance. Our construction scope covers everything from site grading and paving through C-store interior build-out: ADA restrooms, walk-in cooler rough-in (cooler equipment by others), customer areas, storage, and all finishes through CO.
For gas station and C-store projects in Delray Beach that need a licensed GC for the above-ground construction scope, Pajaziti & Associates delivers the building, canopy, site, and interior — permit to CO. License CBC1265699.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our construction services in this area.
Do you install underground fuel tanks or fuel systems?
No. Underground storage tanks (UST), fuel lines, dispenser connections, and pump equipment are installed by licensed petroleum contractors operating under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) licensing and oversight. Our scope is entirely above-ground: the convenience store building, fuel canopy structure, site paving and grading, above-ground utility connections, and all C-store interior work. We coordinate with the petroleum contractor as part of the overall project team.
What does your GC scope include on a gas station project?
Our scope covers everything above the ground surface: the convenience store building shell and interior build-out (framing, MEP, ceilings, flooring, ADA restrooms, walk-in cooler rough-in), the fuel canopy as a structural element (steel framing, roofing, fascia, lighting rough-in), site grading and asphalt paving, concrete curbing, parking lot striping, and all above-ground utility connections. Fuel systems, underground tanks, and pump equipment are the petroleum contractor's scope.
What permits are required for gas station construction in Palm Beach County?
Above-ground gas station construction requires a building permit for the C-store structure, a structural permit for the fuel canopy, and site work permits including drainage and paving approvals — all through the applicable city or county building department. The petroleum contractor manages separate FDEP permits for the underground fuel system. We handle all building-side permits; the petroleum contractor handles all fuel system permits.
Do you do gas station renovations and rebrands?
Yes. C-store interior renovations, canopy replacements, exterior facade rebrands, and facility upgrades are all within our GC scope. Fuel brand transitions often require significant above-ground work — new canopy fascia, updated C-store interiors, refreshed site paving and striping — all of which we manage through the building permit process.
