GMS provide strategic facilities planning for seaport development,to maintain existing facilities and manage design, engineering and construction of new facilities for Port while protecting the environment within the Port jurisdictional area.

GMS's Seaport Construction & Planning services of a staff of design and construction professionals, who direct the planning, design and construction process for new and renovated Port facilities and infrastructure. We support the Port Everglades Department with projects that range from conceptual planning to construction completion, delivery, and turnover.

It begins with tenant or market driven needs that develop from the Port Administration and Operations Divisions, and evolve into conceptual plans and designs. Once projects are funded, the plans are typically turned over to the Port’s consultants who develop construction documents for large-scale projects and in house staff for small scale projects. When construction documents are ready, the project managers continue with the procurement of contractors and ultimate construction of the project. The end goal is to deliver to the Port’s users a project that serves their needs in the time frames established for completion.
