Scope performed

Each line below is a discipline our staff carried on this project. The description explains what that work involves and what the owner receives at the end of it.

Structural Renovation and Expansion

Structural design inside an existing building: openings, additions, and load path changes worked out against what is actually there.

  • Existing condition review
  • Framing and reinforcement design
  • Sealed documents for permit

New Building Structural Design

The gravity and lateral system for a new building, designed to the current Florida Building Code and the wind exposure the site sits in.

  • Structural drawings
  • Load calculations
  • Signed and sealed documents for permit

How an engagement like this runs

Work in Northwest Florida follows the same sequence at any size. Owners see the same four stages.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    We ask what prompted the call, what documents already exist, and what deadline is driving the schedule. If the work does not need an engineer, we say so.

  2. 02

    Field work and review

    A licensed engineer or a staff member working under one goes to the site, documents conditions, and reviews the drawings and reports already on file.

  3. 03

    Signed and sealed deliverable

    Findings, drawings, and specifications go out under seal, written so a board can read them and a contractor can bid from them.

  4. 04

    Contract Administration

    During construction we review submittals, answer requests for information, perform Construction Observations, and review pay applications against work in place.
