Structural Engineering/Additions & New Construction

Additions and new construction

Additions, ADUs and New Construction in Florida

Every addition, second story, garage conversion, or new build needs a full structural package before a permit office will look at it. We handle the complete scope from site visit through approved permit, coordinated with your architect or designer.

Projects

Every addition starts with a structural package

  • Additions and second stories: foundations, framing, the tie-in to the existing structure and the wind load path through all of it.
  • Garage conversions and accessory dwelling units, where your city or county allows them: the structural set, the openings, the slab and the connections, coordinated with your designer.
  • Florida rooms, lanai and screen enclosures, and porches: framing and foundations designed for wind and for the attachment to the house.
  • New single-family homes and small commercial buildings: full structural packages ready for permit submission.
  • Elevated construction in flood zones, designed to the elevated-building criteria of ASCE 7-22 and your flood map.

Coordinated with the rest of the project

We coordinate with your architect or designer and, when you want one package, design the MEP and run the geotechnical investigation under the same contract. One team, one timeline, one point of contact.
