Gas Station & C-Store Construction Contractor
West Palm Beach, FL

A gas station project involves two distinct scopes of work: the petroleum systems — underground storage tanks, fuel lines, dispensers, and pump equipment — which are installed by licensed petroleum contractors; and the above-ground construction — the convenience store building, fuel canopy structure, site paving, utilities, and all interior work — which requires a licensed general contractor. Pajaziti & Associates handles the GC scope entirely. We build the C-store shell, frame and finish the interior, construct the fuel canopy as a structural element, manage the site paving and parking layout, and coordinate all above-ground MEP work through the City of West Palm Beach Building Division permit and Certificate of Occupancy. The petroleum contractor handles everything below ground and at the pump island — we coordinate with them as part of the overall project team.
Gas station and C-store construction in West Palm Beach involves permit review through the City of West Palm Beach Building Division for the above-ground work, with separate FDEP oversight for the fuel system components handled by the petroleum contractor. Our permit scope covers the building permit for the C-store structure, the canopy structural permit, and all associated site work permits. We manage the city's plan review process, respond to review comments, coordinate inspections, and deliver the building CO so the site can open. Interior C-store build-out — shelving areas, walk-in cooler rough-in (equipment by others), ADA restrooms, point-of-sale areas, and all finishes — is included in our scope.
Pajaziti & Associates delivers gas station and C-store GC services throughout West Palm Beach — new builds, renovations, rebrands, and canopy replacements.

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.
