Local Ground-Up

A local team that knows Ocala.

Looking for ground-up construction in Ocala, Florida? SRM Construction is a licensed, insured general contractor delivering ground-up work across Marion County — managing planning, permitting, construction, and completion as one accountable team. From raw land to ribbon cutting.

Horse Country's capital, Ocala is one of Florida's fastest-growing metros — farms, distribution centers, medical campuses, and master-planned communities all building at once. We bring commercial and residential construction to Marion County's boom. We serve Ocala from our nearby Lakeland headquarters — close enough for frequent site visits, daily supervision, and genuinely local response times.

We manage the geotechnical realities of Florida sites — high water tables, sandy soils, stormwater requirements — alongside county site-plan approvals and utility coordination, before vertical construction ever begins. In Ocala, that means working fluently with Marion County permitting and inspections, building to Florida code for North Central Florida conditions, and protecting your schedule with early long-lead procurement. We also serve the surrounding communities of Crystal River, Brooksville, Spring Hill.
