Say your listed BFE is 8'
The BFE is based on sea level.

Does this mean that I would have to build 4 more feet higher to reach 8'?
Yes, you would need the finished floor elevation to match the BFE at 8'.
However, you also need to consider building above BFE for insurance purposes. BFE is typically based on a 100-yr flood elevation; some insurance companies will base their rates on the 500-year flood elevation.
