Licensed General Contractor In Fort Myers & Lee County

Universal Trax is a licensed general contractor based in Alva, Florida — less than 20 minutes from Fort Myers on State Road 80. The company holds Florida state certified GC license CGC1528872 and has been doing site work and construction across Lee County for over a decade. From residential development in Lehigh Acres to municipal projects in the City of Fort Myers, the crews and equipment are already working in this market.

Universal Trax works on both sides of a project. The horizontal division handles site development, land clearing, grading, and excavation. The vertical division, led by Brady Herndon, handles framing, drywall, and structural construction. Both operate under the same GC license, which means a developer or property owner in Fort Myers can hire one contractor from groundbreaking to finished building.

Site Work & Land Clearing In Fort Myers

Fort Myers and Lee County present a specific set of site conditions — high water tables, sandy soils, SFWMD permitting requirements, and development sites that often need extensive land clearing before any grading or foundation work can begin. Universal Trax has been doing this work in Lee County long enough to know what to expect before the equipment hits the ground.

The horizontal division handles the full site work scope for Fort Myers area projects: land clearing and vegetation removal, rough and finish grading, cut and fill earthwork, drainage and stormwater management, foundation pad preparation, and culvert installation. This is the work that gets a raw piece of Lee County land to a point where a building can go up.

Framing & Vertical Construction In Fort Myers

Brady Cox leads Universal Trax’s vertical construction division and has an active client base in the Fort Myers and Lee County area. The division handles wood framing, metal stud framing, truss installation, and drywall for residential and commercial projects. Brady brings the same standard to vertical work that the horizontal division has built its reputation on — show up, execute, communicate, finish.

For developers working on projects that need both site work and vertical construction, Universal Trax is one of the few licensed GCs in Lee County that can manage the full scope under a single contract. The crew that cleared and graded the land can also frame the building. That continuity cuts down on hand-off delays and eliminates the coordination problems that happen when multiple contractors share a site.
