Cement Industries

Cement Industries has manufactured prestressed concrete products since 1953. The company produces hollowcore planks, stairs, and platforms at its on-site facility in Fort Myers, then transports them to jobsites for placement as structural building components.

The operation includes computerized batching and continuous quality assurance testing throughout manufacturing. The company emphasizes structural integrity, acoustical properties, and weather and fire resistance in its products, which are designed to accelerate construction schedules with high finish quality.

In Florida, concrete contractors must be licensed by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the Department of Business & Professional Regulation. The state recognizes two main license types: certified contractors, who can work statewide, and registered contractors, who are limited to the jurisdiction where they are registered. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds the appropriate license for your project.

You can search for an active license on the state's online licensing portal at myfloridalicense.com. Use the search tool to look up the contractor by name, license number, or city. This confirms their license status and whether it is current. If a contractor cannot provide a license number or does not appear in the search, do not proceed without confirmation from the CILB.

Concrete work in Fort Myers is subject to the Florida Building Code. Most projects will require permits and inspections to ensure compliance with structural, safety, and environmental standards. Ask your contractor whether permits are included in their scope and who will handle submissions and inspections. Understanding these requirements upfront prevents delays and ensures your project meets code.
