The quality of new construction homes is better than it’s ever been—thanks to by tougher building codes, advanced materials, and a demand for energy efficiency and resilience. Holiday Builders has been building new homes in Florida since 1983. As one of Florida’s most reputable homebuilders, Holiday Builders goes the extra mile to ensure quality construction and customer satisfaction. Let’s take a look at what makes new construction homes in 2025, such a great investment.

1. Built to Today’s Toughest Codes
Florida has some of the strictest building codes in the country, especially in coastal and hurricane-prone zones. This is the result of the Florida Building Code (FBC) that was adopted statewide in March 2002 in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Every new home built in 2025 must meet or exceed standards for:

• Wind resistance (up to 160+ mph, depending on region)
• Impact-rated windows and doors
• Proper roof anchoring and sheathing
• Flood zone foundation elevation requirements

These codes aren’t optional—they’re enforced at every stage of construction through inspections by local municipalities. Holiday Builders cannot get a CO (Certificate of Occupancy) until all inspections have been passed.

2. Better Materials, Smarter Systems
Today’s homes are built with:

• Energy-efficient HVAC systems designed for Florida’s hot, humid climate
• Moisture-resistant materials in key areas (like bathrooms, attics, and exterior walls) to reduce mold and mildew risk
• Advanced roofing systems that hold up under heat, rain, and wind

3. Energy Efficiency Is Standard
In 2025, energy efficiency is not a luxury—it’s a baseline expectation. New construction homes are equipped with:

• Spray foam insulation or upgraded batt insulation
• Low-E double-pane windows
• Smart thermostats and LED lighting
• ENERGY STAR-rated appliances

This doesn’t just help the planet—it means lower energy bills every month, which is a huge win for Florida homeowners.

4. Thoughtful Engineering for Florida Conditions
Homes are engineered specifically for the Florida environment:

• Proper attic ventilation and radiant barriers to reduce heat build-up
• Pest control systems built into the foundation
• Drainage and grading that handle Florida’s heavy rains
• Garage and porch layouts that maximize shade and airflow

It’s not just about building a house—it’s about building a Florida house that can stand the test of time and weather. With more than 42 years building new homes in the sun, Holiday Builders has experience building quality homes that last.

5. Backed by Warranties
New homes in Florida come with warranties on structure, workmanship, and systems—something resale homes can’t offer. Buyers can rest easy knowing that their investment is protected. Holiday Builders includes a one-year transferable warranty on every new home, plus a ten-year structural warranty.

Final Thought:
Whether you’re already a Florida resident, or you’re moving here from another state, new construction homes offer unmatched quality, safety, and efficiency.
