Services
Everything between a sketch and a certificate of occupancy.
Five services that mostly get bought together, because a set that is engineered and inspected by the same firm is a set nobody has to reconcile.
Structural engineering
Sealed structural drawings the building department will accept
A permit set stands or falls on whether the load path is legible. We draw it end to end — roof to footing — so the examiner can follow it without guessing, and so the framer on site can build it without calling.
- Foundations and slabs
- Wood, steel and concrete framing
- Wind load, including HVHZ
What you get
- Foundation plan
- Framing plans and roof layout
- Sections, connection details and schedules
- Wind load calculations
- General notes and sealed cover sheet
MEP engineering
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawn against the structure, not beside it
MEP drawn in isolation is how a duct ends up where a beam already is. We route mechanical, electrical and plumbing over the structural model, so conflicts are resolved on paper where they cost nothing.
- HVAC loads and equipment
- Power, panels and lighting
- Supply, waste and vent
What you get
- HVAC plans and load calculations
- Electrical plans and panel schedules
- Plumbing supply, waste and vent plans
- Equipment schedules
- Energy code compliance forms
Construction inspections
A licensed engineer on site at the stages the building official cares about
An inspection report is only worth what the building official thinks of it. Ours are written to the format the jurisdiction expects, signed, and filed against the permit — so the job moves on rather than waiting on paperwork.
- Foundation and reinforcement
- Framing and connections
- Threshold inspections
What you get
- Signed field reports per inspection
- Photographic record
- Deficiency notes and re-inspection sign-off
- Documentation for the permit file
Construction management
Someone owning the submittals, RFIs and the inspection calendar
Small projects rarely have anyone whose job is the paperwork. Submittals sit, RFIs go unanswered, and the inspection nobody booked becomes a two-week hole in the schedule. We take that on.
- Submittal review
- RFI tracking
- Inspection scheduling
This is oversight and coordination on the owner's behalf — reviewing, tracking and scheduling. It is not general contracting.
What you get
- Submittal and shop drawing review
- RFI log and responses
- Inspection calendar
- Progress reports to the owner
Project planning & QA
Code and constructability problems found before the set leaves the office
Most plan review comments are predictable. Reviewing the set against the jurisdiction's own checklist before it goes in turns a resubmittal cycle into a short list of answers.
- Pre-submittal code review
- Constructability review
- Permit strategy
What you get
- Code review against the governing edition
- Constructability notes
- Jurisdiction-specific submittal checklist
- Drawing set QA before sealing
Built without a permit? It can usually be cured.
A code enforcement notice is not the end of a project. Most unpermitted work can be documented, engineered to current code, and brought back into compliance through an after-the-fact permit.
- 01
Document what is there
Measure and record the existing condition, including the parts now concealed behind finishes.
- 02
Engineer it to code
Assess the work against the current Florida Building Code and detail whatever has to change.
- 03
Sealed as-built drawings
The set a building department needs before it will consider an after-the-fact permit.
- 04
Inspections to sign-off
Any corrective work inspected and documented, through to the permit being closed.
We cannot promise an outcome. The building department decides whether the permit is issued and whether any penalty stands. What we can do is hand them a complete, sealed set to say yes to — and answer their comments when they come back.
How a project runs
Intake to certificate of occupancy.
Each step is blocked by the one before it. Where a job goes wrong is almost always step four.
Scope and site review
We start with the jurisdiction. Seminole, Orange, Miami-Dade and Broward do not read a set the same way, and the last two sit in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
Engineering and drawing set
Structural and MEP designed together. Loads, duct routes and riser paths get resolved on the drawings, not in the field.
Seal and submittal
Sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer and submitted in the format that jurisdiction wants — rarely the same as the last one.
Plan review and comments
Comments come back. We answer and resubmit. This is where a project quietly loses a month, so it is where we push hardest.
Inspections through completion
Foundation, framing, final — inspected, documented and signed, so the certificate of occupancy is not held up by a missing report.
Turnaround depends on jurisdiction and scope, so we quote it per job. Ask, and we will tell you what we are seeing at that building department this month.
