Jupiter's population growth and expanding commercial corridors along Indiantown Road, US-1, and the northern corridors approaching Tequesta have kept fuel station development active in the area. Gas station projects — whether new builds or renovations of existing sites — require two separate contractor types working in parallel: a licensed petroleum contractor for underground storage tanks, fuel lines, and dispenser connections; and a licensed general contractor for the C-store building construction, fuel canopy structure, site grading and paving, and all above-ground work. Pajaziti & Associates provides the GC scope. We do not install fuel systems or pump equipment — that work belongs to the petroleum contractor — but we build everything you can see above the ground and coordinate with the petroleum team throughout the project.
Jupiter gas station construction may permit through the Town of Jupiter Building Department for sites in incorporated areas or the Palm Beach County Building Division for unincorporated parcels. The applicable jurisdiction depends on the specific site address. We determine the correct permitting pathway before design begins and prepare the permit package to that jurisdiction's standards — canopy structural drawings, C-store building plans, MEP, and site documentation all included. Both jurisdictions apply Florida Building Code and require full permit compliance before CO is issued.
Pajaziti & Associates provides licensed GC services for gas station and C-store construction throughout Jupiter and Tequesta. C-store builds, canopy structures, site work, and interior build-outs — above-ground scope only, 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.
