True luxury isn’t defined by finishes — it’s defined by longevity. At Rheace Contracting, every home begins with the structural decisions that determine how well it will protect the people inside it. We specialize in Nudura ICF construction, engineered roof systems, and building-science assemblies that outperform Florida’s coastal environment for decades.
Our work spans luxury custom homes, estate-scale renovations, and premier residential developments across Palm Beach and Martin Counties. Every project is managed with a disciplined, engineering-first approach: airtight envelopes, fortified structures, optimized mechanical design, and elevated materials that create quieter, safer, more resilient homes.
Where others see walls and windows, we see generational protection — homes designed to withstand hurricanes, humidity, and time itself. Luxury shouldn’t require maintenance, worry, or compromise. It should deliver lasting comfort, performance, and value long after the ribbon is cut.
This is luxury built to endure.
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and long-term goals. This stage is about listening, uncovering inspiration, and defining what “home” truly means to you.
Our team collaborates with top architects and designers to translate your vision into detailed plans. Every selection — from structural systems to finishes — is curated for resilience, efficiency, and timeless appeal.
We prepare a transparent budget and timeline, leveraging our vetted trade partners and project management systems. You’ll see exactly how your investment is allocated, with no hidden surprises.
Construction begins with our on-site superintendent overseeing every phase. From ICF walls to custom millwork, each detail is executed to the highest standard — hurricane-ready, energy-efficient, and built to last generations.
We deliver your home move-in ready, with a comprehensive walkthrough and warranty program. Our commitment continues long after the final inspection, ensuring your home performs beautifully for years to come.
No. We don't provide generic estimates or ballpark numbers. Instead, we deliver detailed, transparent proposals built from actual trade partner bids, structural take-offs, and approved architectural direction—the same level of precision we'd use to build your home.
Our process begins with a private discovery consultation where we discuss your vision, site conditions, and investment parameters. From there, we coordinate with architects and engineers to develop comprehensive plans, then present a detailed proposal with milestone-based pricing. This approach eliminates surprises, protects your investment, and ensures we're aligned on quality and execution from day one.
For homeowners ready to move forward with a serious project, this investment in proper planning pays dividends throughout construction.
Reach out 6–12 months before your ideal construction start date. Luxury coastal construction—especially ICF builds in high-velocity hurricane zones—requires careful orchestration of architecture, engineering, permitting, and trade coordination.
Early engagement allows us to assemble the right team of architects and structural engineers for your project, navigate coastal permitting, HOA approvals, and environmental requirements, secure our construction schedule during your preferred timeline, and properly engineer foundations for waterfront or barrier island sites.
Projects requiring ARCOM approval (Palm Beach), Jupiter Island permitting, or complex waterfront coordination benefit most from extended lead times. Our most successful client relationships begin with proper planning, not rushed starts.
Our service area is intentionally focused: Palm Beach County and northern Martin County, including Palm Beach, Manalapan, Jupiter Island, Jupiter Inlet Colony, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Tequesta, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Sewall's Point, and Palm City.
This geographic concentration isn't arbitrary—it reflects our commitment to excellence. By focusing on this coastal corridor, we maintain deep relationships with local building departments, understand barrier island and Intracoastal construction requirements intimately, and leverage decades of experience with HVHZ codes, flood zone engineering, and coastal soil conditions.
We know which municipalities require pile foundations, which communities have the strictest architectural review, and how to navigate everything from ARCOM presentations to sea turtle nesting restrictions. This expertise doesn't exist in builders who scatter projects across multiple regions.At this time, we do not accept projects outside Palm Beach and northern Martin Counties.
We specialize in luxury residential construction and strategic development projects that demand both craftsmanship and coastal engineering expertise.
Custom ICF Homes: New construction from $400–$700+ per square foot, with oceanfront and barrier island estates often exceeding $700 per square foot. We build for clients who understand that hurricane resilience, energy efficiency, and generational durability justify premium investment.
Luxury Renovations & Additions: Transformative projects starting at $150,000. This includes whole-home remodels, kitchen and bath renovations, structural additions, and hurricane protection upgrades for existing estates.
Waterfront & Barrier Island Construction: Oceanfront, Intracoastal, and riverfront properties requiring elevated foundations, marine-grade materials, driven pile systems, and complex environmental permitting.
Golf Community & Gated Estate Construction: Properties in communities with strict architectural review (ARCOM, HOAs, ARBs) where we manage the full approval process.
Real Estate Development: Select land acquisition, subdivision, and build-to-spec projects in collaboration with investment partners.
We are selective about the projects we accept. Our clients value second-generation craftsmanship, firefighter-owned integrity, and white-glove service over lowest bid.
Our ideal clients are discerning homeowners and families building their forever home or transforming an existing estate into a generational property. They appreciate engineering excellence over shortcuts. They understand that ICF construction, 200+ mph wind ratings, and elevated pile foundations aren't luxuries in coastal Florida—they're necessities.
They value transparency and partnership. They want a builder who communicates openly, provides detailed cost breakdowns, and treats their investment with the same care they would their own.
They focus on long-term value. They're investing in a home that will withstand decades of Florida's harshest conditions, not just pass minimum code requirements.
Many incorporate sophisticated integration as standard, not upgrades—Control4 automation, Lutron lighting, solar arrays, whole-home generators, and marine-grade finishes.If you're seeking the absolute lowest price, we're not the right fit. If you want a firefighter-owned, second-generation builder who combines coastal engineering expertise with concierge-level service and builds homes designed to become family legacies, we should talk.
We limit our project volume intentionally—typically 8-12 concurrent builds—to ensure every client receives our full attention and every home reflects the standard we'd build for our own families.
