Over 25 Years of Florida Agency Work

We know the agencies. We move the permits. We keep your build on schedule.
We'll ask about project type, location, timeline, and current permit status.
Services
Design, permitting, and construction administration. From pre-application to closeout.
Docks, shoreline stabilization, CCCL permitting, dune restoration, and marina expansion. The technical work that keeps Florida's waterfront moving and its coast standing through the next storm.
Stormwater management and water resource engineering, building department permitting and coordination, and topographic and bathymetric surveying. Engineering that gets the project entitled and through the gate.
Environmental site assessments, benthic and submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) surveys, wetland delineation, and wetland mitigation assessments (UMAMs). The field data that backs every permit and design decision.
Capabilities
Permitting, environmental surveys, and construction oversight. The detailed work behind every Blue Arc project.
We help move projects from concept to approval by preparing permit applications, coordinating with reviewing agencies, and maintaining professional agency relationships that keep communication clear throughout the review process.
We provide the field data, habitat evaluations, and site assessments needed to support permitting and design decisions that lead to more effective, long-lasting, and sustainable coastal development.
We support projects after permit approval through quality bid coordination, construction administration, and site observation services that help confirm structural integrity, permit compliance, and client satisfaction.
Why Blue Arc
01
Our work is built on years of coordination with local, state, and federal reviewing agencies throughout Florida. We understand how to communicate clearly, prepare complete submittals, and keep the review process moving.
02
The permit timeline is the build timeline. We treat it that way through early coordination, organized submittals, proactive follow-up, and consistent communication on every active file.
03
Responsive communication is part of the work. We provide timely updates, answer questions directly, and stay engaged with clients, contractors, and agencies from start to finish.
The Team
Our leadership stays involved in the work, helping ensure each project is handled with technical care, clear communication, and consistent follow-through.

Featured Project
Captiva Island, FL · Single-family residence · CCCL exemption
The challenge
A single-family residence on Captiva needed its septic tank and drainfield placed seaward of the 1991 Coastal Construction Control Line. With an upcoming construction obstacle: marine turtle nesting season runs May 1 through October 31, so a slow determination would have collided with nesting restrictions and stalled the build until the next year.
What Blue Arc did
Evaluated the work against the CCCL exemption criteria and confirmed it qualified as a minor utility installation with no adverse coastal effect. Built the exemption package complete on the first pass and filed it within one week of being brought on, then carried the file through FDEP review with no second round of requests.
The result
FDEP issued the exemption two to four weeks after submittal, inside the pre-nesting window. The contractor mobilized on schedule and the residence finished construction with zero permit-driven interruption. No rejections, no nesting-season obstructions, no construction delays.

Coastal · Benthic Survey
A Boca Grande dock permit needed an FDEP benthic survey inside a once-a-year window. We were in the water on day one and cleared the footprint.
