City officials and the project team gave the Town of Davie Council a fourth and final presentation on the 95% design for the new town hall, including construction sequencing, features and a high-level timeline.

The presentation, led by architect Perry Douglas of Song and Associates and contractor Randy Perez of Veil, said the project has moved into concurrent work on tilt-wall panel forming and foundations. Perez said the tilt panels “will go up pretty quickly” and that the team expects the walls to be standing before the winter holiday. He said structural steel should be complete near the end of the first quarter of next year, with interior framing, finishes and mechanical equipment following through the next year. The presentation targets roof completion and roof deck pour around April 2026, with final finishes and a TCO “early that summer.”

The design team said the building program remains unchanged. The first floor will house customer service, the council chamber, building department, chamber of commerce and community services; the second floor will include engineering, information technology and code compliance; the third floor will include planning and zoning, budget and finance, and human resources; and the fourth floor will contain council offices.

Douglas said the 95% design added site elements discussed in previous meetings: rough-in power and water for a potential water feature at the council-chamber drop-off, a paver area on the north end intended for food trucks and a circular plaza near the rodeo grounds.

Council members and staff asked questions about underground utilities and drainage. Perez said crews were working on the building’s underground electrical, plumbing and sanitary lines and expected to get into the building “this weekend into the next” to install those systems. He said most site pipe is new and that crews are TV-inspecting (camera-inspecting) existing sanitary lines to determine which must be replaced.

Town staff clarified some scope: the town is rebuilding the lift station west of Town Hall that will serve the new building and surrounding redevelopment, and the drainage work under discussion refers primarily to the parking lot between Town Hall and the rodeo grounds, a known area of standing water during heavy rain.

Council and staff said the town will continue coordination on final drainage design and on selecting any water feature design. Perez said large equipment — generator and chillers — will start arriving by next summer and plumbing and electrical fixtures will be set as finishes progress. He told the council the team will perform a punch-list walkthrough with town staff at substantial completion.

The project managers asked the council to expect visible, rapid progress on the exterior once tilt walls are set, with interior buildout to follow. No action was taken by the council at the meeting on the design update; council members asked for ongoing updates and reaffirmed the project’s timeline commitments.
