Martha's Lane Apartments

Santa Rosa Beach, FL

The work

Site and structural engineering for the apartment community.

The Martha's Lane Condominium scope included civil and structural engineering services for a proposed +/- 2.5-acre multifamily development in Santa Rosa Beach consisting of two two-story condominium buildings, associated parking, an amenity area, internal drives, utilities, stormwater infrastructure, retaining walls, and a new roadway connection to County Road 30A. The original civil scope included preliminary site planning, stormwater modeling and reporting, construction plans for grading, drainage, parking, utilities, and a sanitary sewer lift station, as well as Walton County Major Development Order and related utility and environmental permitting. Subsequent change orders added structural design for approximately 23,600 square feet of condominium buildings and a modular block retaining wall, civil plan revisions associated with the wall and slab foundations, and the design and permitting of a paved roadway to County Road 30A with related drainage and utility extensions.

How an engagement like this runs

Work in Santa Rosa Beach follows the same sequence at any size. Owners see the same four stages.

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.
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.
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.
04
Contract Administration
During construction we review submittals, answer requests for information, perform Construction Observations, and review pay applications against work in place.
