South Florida’s Epicore® structural deck specialists — design through pour.
Deck challenges rarely appear at the end of a job. They often start earlier, when multiple systems, schedules, and teams need to align during a complex phase of construction.
SDS helps support that coordination. We’re a South Florida specialty contractor focused on Epicore® elevated deck and roof systems. From early design coordination through shoring, delivery, and installation, our team works to manage the scope in-house so the system stays aligned with the project schedule and performs as engineered.
Our goal is simply to help make the deck phase more coordinated and predictable for builders, engineers, and project teams alike.
From early planning through final installation, we run the entire deck scope with one accountable team. No handoffs. No gaps. Just disciplined coordination that protects your schedule.
We work directly with architects, engineers, and builders to lock in deck layouts early. By reviewing spans, details, and sequencing upfront, we eliminate redesigns, field conflicts, and last-minute adjustments that cost time and momentum.
We provide the complete engineered shoring package required for Epicore® installation — including drawings, sequencing, and on-site execution. The result is a deck installed safely, efficiently, and inspection-ready.
With more than 30 years of Epicore® experience, our crews install decks quickly, cleanly, and predictably. From custom homes to multifamily, hospitality, student housing, and assisted living, we bring proven systems and disciplined execution to every pour.
These aren’t slogans. They’re the standards we use to plan, coordinate, and execute every Epicore® deck and roof system we install.
Structural decks set the pace for the entire job. We treat this phase like the critical path it is — planned early, sequenced deliberately, and executed to keep projects moving.
Multi-story work, coastal conditions, tight sites — complexity is expected. Our job is to remove uncertainty through engineered systems, repeatable installation, and disciplined execution.
We believe the best way to reduce risk is to simplify the build. Epicore® eliminates unnecessary steps, reduces trade stacking, and removes dependencies that stall progress in Florida conditions.

We focus on one thing and do it exceptionally well: delivering Epicore® deck and roof systems with speed, discipline, and total accountability. From first review to final pour, SDS owns the work so the structure sets the pace for everything that follows.
We review drawings, timelines, and job constraints early so the deck system aligns with how the project actually needs to move.
Spans, shoring, and sequencing are finalized upfront to remove guesswork, rework, and schedule risk before installation begins.

After building Centerpoint into one of South Florida’s premier shell contractors for luxury and custom projects, Chad founded SDS to focus exclusively on Epicore® elevated deck and roof systems. SDS is built around one principle: the deck scope needs a single accountable owner.
With more than 20 years of construction experience spanning luxury custom homes, mid-rise concrete structures, and historic renovations, Chad has earned a reputation for precision, follow-through, and standing behind the work.
Before construction, he served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps as both an enlisted Marine and later an Engineer Officer and Platoon Commander, including a deployment to the Persian Gulf with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. That background continues to shape how SDS operates — strong teams, clear expectations, and safe, well-run job sites.
A licensed Florida General Contractor and lifelong learner, Chad holds degrees from Stetson University and Davenport University, with additional study at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. He remains closely involved in field operations and client relationships and lives in West Palm Beach with his wife, Lisa, and their three children.
Zach Miller oversees SDS projects from early design coordination through final pour, managing day-to-day operations and ensuring every deck scope is executed cleanly, safely, and on schedule. He works directly with clients, crews, and trade partners to translate complex structural plans into disciplined, well-coordinated builds.
Known for his attention to detail and steady communication, Zach thrives in fast-moving environments where sequencing, timing, and precision matter. His focus is simple: protect the schedule, eliminate surprises, and deliver work that performs exactly as engineered.
Outside of work, Zach values time with his wife and family, staying active, hunting, and being outdoors.
If you’re planning an Epicore® deck or roof system, send plans for review. We’ll help you lock spans, shoring, and sequencing early, so the deck phase stays controlled and the structure stays on schedule.
