Structural Engineer — Frequently Asked Questions (Florida)
When should I hire a structural engineer in Florida?
Any time you’re making structural changes (additions, wall removals, beam swaps), experiencing foundation movement, water intrusion, or preparing for permitting on coastal or wind-exposed sites. We provide design, forensic evaluations, and permit documents statewide.
Do you provide PE-sealed drawings and calculations for permits?
Yes. Our Florida-licensed engineers deliver PE-sealed plans, structural calcs, details, and responses to AHJ comments to streamline approvals under the Florida Building Code.
What structural inspections do you offer (including threshold/high-rise)?
We perform structural condition assessments, repair scopes, threshold inspections for special structures, and post-storm evaluations. Reports include photos, stamped findings, and prioritized repair recommendations.
Can you help if my building has settlement, cracks, or sagging floors?
Yes. We diagnose the cause (soil, drainage, framing, or foundation issues) and design repairs such as underpinning, shoring, or framing reinforcement. See our deep foundation options like helical piers and pipe piles.
Do you handle coastal, flood, and high-wind design in Florida?
Absolutely. We design to site wind speeds, exposure categories, and flood requirements (including uplift, lateral, and corrosion considerations) for new builds and retrofits across Florida’s coastal zones.
Can you provide forensic engineering and expert witness services?
Yes. We investigate structural failures, water intrusion, construction defects, and foundation movement, then provide stamped reports, repair scopes, and expert testimony when needed.
What geotechnical services do you offer with structural design?
We coordinate soil sampling, site investigations, and recommendations for bearing capacity, settlement, and drainage—integrating geotechnical data directly into the structural design and foundation selection.
Do you design and inspect deep foundations and earth retention?
Yes. We design/install helical piers, pipe piles, sheet piling, and retaining walls, including shoring and tieback systems for repairs or new construction.
Can you help with waterproofing and building envelope problems?
We perform leak forensics, detail reviews, and waterproofing design. Deliverables include repair details, product specs, and QA checklists for contractors to execute correctly.
How quickly can you mobilize for on-site reviews in Florida?
We serve the entire state and can schedule site visits promptly. After the visit, we provide written findings and a stamped repair/design package as needed to keep your project moving.
Do you work directly with owners, contractors, and municipalities?
Yes. We partner with developers, GCs, attorneys, HOAs, and public agencies—coordinating design, inspections, and permitting from concept through construction closeout.
What’s the best way to start a structural engineering project with you?
Share plans, photos, or concerns via our contact page, or call the office to schedule an evaluation. We’ll outline scope, deliverables, fees, and a realistic timeline up front.
