Structural Engineering Services for New Custom Homes Across Florida

Building a new custom home in Florida requires structural design that stands up to hurricane-force winds, flood zones, and variable soil conditions, all in full compliance with the Florida Building Code. ProStruct Engineering provides licensed structural engineering services throughout Florida, delivering permit-ready structural calculations and plans for new custom home construction.

Why Choose Our New Custom Home Structural Engineering Services?

Site-Specific Structural Design

Our engineers evaluate soil conditions, flood zone designation, wind exposure, and coastal requirements to design a safe, efficient structural system for your home, from sandy coastal lots to sinkhole-prone inland sites.

Hurricane-Resistant Structural Plans

We prepare detailed calculations and drawings for permit approval, including a continuous load path, wind uplift connections, roof-to-wall tie-downs, and framing or CMU wall systems designed for Florida's wind speeds and the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ).

Engineering Support From Design to Construction

Our team supports your project from design through construction, coordinating with architects, builders, and city or county building departments, with construction administration when you need it.

Foundation Solutions for New Custom Homes in Florida

Choosing the right foundation is one of the most important structural decisions for your new custom home. Our engineers design foundations for Florida homes based on soil conditions, flood zone requirements, and site loads, all to the Florida Building Code.

Monolithic Slab Foundation

The most common foundation for new homes in Florida. The slab and thickened edge footings are poured as one unit, giving a cost-effective, durable base for level lots with stable soils.

Stem Wall Foundation

CMU or concrete stem walls on a continuous footing, backfilled and topped with a slab. They raise the finished floor to meet base flood elevation requirements and suit sloped or low-lying lots.

Elevated Pile Foundation

Concrete or timber piles that lift the home above storm surge and flood waters. Often required for coastal and waterfront homes in coastal high-hazard (V) flood zones.

Drilled Piers and Grade Beam

Deep piers tied together with reinforced grade beams, used on sites with weak, compressible, or organic soils, or in sinkhole-prone areas where improved settlement control is needed.

Mat Slab Foundation

A thick, heavily reinforced slab that spreads the home's loads across its entire footprint. Ideal for weak soils or heavy structures where uniform support is critical.

Post-Tensioned Slab

A slab reinforced with high-strength tensioned steel cables that improves crack control and performance on challenging soils while optimizing concrete thickness.

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.

How It Works: Its Fast, Easy & Convenient.
