4 Bedrooms, 4.5 Bath Residential Design Santa Rosa Beach, a custom coastal residence engineered by O'Connell and Associates.

Commercial Structural Design

Restaurants, shopping centers, offices, dealerships, and mixed-use buildings, designed to carry the loads this coast actually applies.

What is included
  • Drawings, documents, and specifications tailored to the project
  • Wood, concrete, masonry, steel, aluminum, and light-gauge steel
  • Construction Observations and field engineering during construction
  • Designed to the current edition of the Florida Building Code

The discipline

Structural design is the methodical investigation of the stability, strength, and rigidity of structures. The objective is a structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure across its serviceable lifetime.

What we design

Commercial structural design projects include car dealerships, shopping centers, restaurants, offices, and other mixed-use buildings. They draw on wood, concrete, masonry, steel, aluminum, and light-gauge steel.

We prepare drawings, documents, and specifications tailored to each individual project, and we have designed commercial buildings at scales from single tenant shells to multi-story mixed-use to meet the owner's goals.

During construction

We remain available through construction to provide Construction Observations and the field engineering assistance needed to complete the project thoroughly and on schedule. The engineer who drew the connection is the engineer who looks at it in the field.

Common questions.

Do you design in more than one material?

Yes. Commercial projects here routinely mix wood, concrete, masonry, steel, aluminum, and light-gauge steel, and we design in all of them. Each material has its own page under design materials.
