This page covers how Plescia serves Myrtle Beach—the districts we build in, the commercial sectors and project types we deliver, the local approvals and logistics that shape every job, and the kind of commercial work that defines our portfolio across the area.

  • The Route 17 (Kings Highway/Bypass) corridors – retail and commercial frontage;
  • The Market Common and mixed-use districts;
  • The surrounding North Myrtle Beach and Conway commercial areas.

Permitting and Code in Myrtle Beach

Commercial construction in Myrtle Beach is governed by the South Carolina building codes (based on the International Building Code), enforced through the City of Myrtle Beach and Horry County. Its oceanfront setting and tourism economy shape both design and scheduling.

  • South Carolina Building Code — state-adopted IBC with local plan review, permitting, and inspections;
  • Coastal, flood, and high-wind — FEMA flood zones, elevation, and hurricane wind design govern oceanfront and low-lying sites;
  • Stormwater and site work — South Carolina DHEC and local stormwater and erosion-control requirements;
  • Seasonal scheduling — off-season timing so venues are ready before the tourist season

We design and build to these from day one so a Myrtle Beach project clears review and performs for the long term.
