- The industrial and agricultural-processing parks.

Permitting and Code in Dover
Commercial construction in Dover is built to the building code adopted by Kent County and the local municipality, with environmental review through Delaware’s DNREC where applicable. As the state capital, Dover’s commercial base leans toward government, healthcare, and retail.
- Adopted building code — International Building Code as adopted locally, with plan review, permitting, and inspections;
- Government and institutional — coordination and standards for capital-district public work;
- Stormwater and site work — DNREC and county sediment, stormwater, and environmental requirements;
- Stormwater and flat-terrain drainage on Central Delaware sites
We design and build to these from day one so a Dover project clears review and performs for the long term.
