Buildings, additions and renovations
Structural design for new buildings, additions and interior alterations: slabs, beams, columns, shear walls and the load path down to the foundation.
Concrete / Masonry / Steel / Wood framing
Sealed drawings your plan reviewer approves the first time.
Structural engineering, calculations and drawings in concrete, masonry, steel, wood and aluminum. From a single railing to a new building. Fixed fee, firm date, revisions stated up front.
We engineer the whole structure, from the foundation up: concrete, masonry, steel, wood and aluminum, for new buildings, additions, renovations and repairs, down to the stairs, railings, storefronts and signs. Every package is built to pass plan review the first time, and nothing leaves our office unsigned.

Why general contractors hire us
Your schedule depends on a permit, and the permit depends on the package. We build every package around what the reviewer will check.
Built for first-pass review
Drawings and calculations organized the way plan reviewers read them, with code references where they look for them.
Fixed fee, firm date
The quote states the fee and the delivery date. The date only moves if the inputs change.
Revisions stated up front
Every quote lists the revision rounds included. Plan reviewer comments are handled within that allowance.
Nothing issued unsigned
Drawings and calculations are reviewed, signed and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer in the project's jurisdiction.
Field survey for as-builts
Stair already installed? We measure it on site and produce the as-built drawings and calculations.
Large-project experience
The team has worked on large commercial and airport projects. We work in English, Spanish and French with your field and shop crews.

Questions
How long does it take?
You get a date with the quote, and it only moves if the inputs change.
What if the plan reviewer has comments?
The quote states how many revision rounds are included. Comments that come from the review itself are handled within that allowance.
Who seals the drawings?
A licensed Professional Engineer who reviews the drawings and calculations before signing and sealing them digitally.
Do you work outside Miami-Dade?
Yes. Broward and Palm Beach are the usual next stops. Tell us the jurisdiction when you ask for a quote so we apply the right review requirements. Outside Florida, we cover DC, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and New Hampshire, with drawings sealed by a partner engineer licensed in that state.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. Send the sheets and we reply with a fixed-fee quote and a delivery date at no cost.
Do you build what you design?
No. We provide engineering, calculations and drafting. Construction, fabrication and installation stay with your contractor, fabricator or installer.
