At JSC Contracting, Inc., we’re passionate about transforming waterfront properties and homes in Central Florida, drawing on our expertise since acquiring Labagh Marine in 2018. As we look at the latest trends in homebuilding and design for 2025, we’re seeing exciting shifts that align with our commitment to creating functional, adventurous, and sustainable spaces. Here’s how we’re incorporating these trends into our projects:
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Designs: Homeowners are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and we’re responding by integrating eco-conscious features into our builds. For boathouses and waterfront homes, we use sustainable materials like composite decking and low-VOC paints to reduce environmental impact. Energy-efficient additions, such as solar-powered boat lifts or energy-smart lighting, are also in demand, helping clients lower utility costs while enhancing their property’s eco-appeal. These align with certifications like LEED, which are gaining traction among environmentally conscious clients.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: The trend of blending indoor and outdoor spaces is transforming waterfront properties. Our boathouses and homes are designed with open layouts, large windows, and expansive decks to maximize natural light and water views. Features like covered patios or outdoor kitchens create retreat-like spaces for relaxation and entertainment, perfectly suited to Central Florida’s vibrant outdoor lifestyle.
Smart Home Technology Integration: Smart technology is no longer a luxury—it’s a standard. We’re incorporating smart systems into our boathouses and homes, such as app-controlled lighting, security systems, and climate controls. For boathouses, smart boat lifts and remote monitoring systems offer convenience and security, allowing clients to manage their waterfront assets effortlessly. These features enhance energy efficiency and align with the sustainable living trend.
Modular and Prefabricated Construction: To address rising material costs and labor shortages, we’re leveraging modular construction techniques for faster, cost-effective builds. Prefabricated components for boathouses, such as dock sections or structural panels, are built off-site to minimize waste and speed up installation. This approach ensures high-quality craftsmanship while keeping projects on schedule and within budget, especially critical in Florida’s dynamic weather conditions.
Bold and Personalized Aesthetics: Homeowners are moving away from generic designs, embracing bold colors and natural textures. In our projects, we’re seeing demand for earth tones, deep blues, and greens that reflect Florida’s coastal environment. Custom features like reclaimed wood accents or stone finishes in boathouses and homes add personality and tie into the biophilic design trend, fostering a connection with nature.
At JSC Contracting, Inc., we combine these trends with our marine and homebuilding expertise to craft spaces that are both innovative and timeless. Whether it’s a state-of-the-art boathouse with smart technology or a waterfront home with sustainable features, our family-owned team is dedicated to turning your vision into reality.
