Commercial Structural Engineering Requirements Across Florida

Our engineers design commercial buildings in Florida to the Florida Building Code (based on the IBC), with structural systems engineered for hurricane wind loads, flood zones, and Florida's local permitting requirements.

Jurisdiction-Specific Commercial Requirements

We coordinate with Florida city and county building departments and private provider reviewers so your plans meet local amendments, wind speed and exposure requirements, and High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) provisions in Miami-Dade and Broward.

Wind & Lateral System Engineering

Our team designs lateral force-resisting systems that stand up to Florida's hurricane winds, including steel moment frames, braced frames, tilt-up concrete, CMU, and wood shear walls, with roof uplift and cladding design pressures calculated to the latest code.

Permit-Ready Technical Documentation

Receive signed and sealed structural plans and calculation packages, with flood-resistant design in FEMA flood zones and threshold building documentation where required, prepared to minimize plan review comments and get your project to construction faster. Construction administration support is available through the build.

Structural Site Inspections

Our engineers visit your site to assess conditions that affect the structural design of your home, addition, ADU, deck, or retaining wall, including soil, drainage, existing framing, and flood zone exposure.

Structural Calculations

We perform load calculations to determine how your structure will resist hurricane-force winds, wind uplift, and gravity loads under the Florida Building Code. These calculations set the size and connections of beams, columns, load-bearing walls, and foundations, including projects in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) in Miami-Dade and Broward.

Structural Plans

Based on the calculation results, our engineers prepare structural plans for your framing, foundation, and roof systems, with the tie-down and connection details Florida building officials expect.

Structural Permit Sets

Each permit-ready package includes detailed drawings, specifications, calculations, and supporting documentation, signed and sealed, and formatted for submission to your city or county building department to obtain a building permit.

Construction Administration

We provide construction administration support throughout your build by responding to Requests for Information (RFIs), performing submittal reviews, addressing substitution requests, and conducting structural observations. This keeps construction aligned with the approved plans and the Florida Building Code, and helps resolve unforeseen structural issues quickly.
