Expansion
An expansion is growth in the size of an existing operation or building, through new space, new equipment or an additional use. In the records we hold the term covers the added area and the systems that have to grow with it.

About Expansion
An expansion set shows the existing building, the added area, and how the two tie together structurally and in their services. Scope is set by what drives the growth, since added floor area, added equipment and added parking each pull in different work. Expansion records commonly appear with addition, office and renovation headings.
FLORIDA PERMIT DATA

"expansion" appears in 2,777 matching permits in the Florida records we analyzed.
A permit can match more than one term, so these counts are not additive and adding two of them together overstates the total.
