Structural Review Questions
What is a structural review?
Structural review is a licensed engineer's analysis of your structural construction documents — verifying that foundations, framing, connections, and lateral systems comply with the Florida Building Code and structural engineering standards.
Is a structural review part of plan review?
Structural is one of the disciplines covered in our full plan review. However, complex or high-profile projects may require a standalone, detailed structural-only review by our PE-licensed engineers.
Do you review hurricane-resistant designs?
Yes. Florida has some of the most stringent wind design requirements in the country. We review for compliance with ASCE 7 wind speeds and Florida Building Code Special Wind Regions where applicable.
Can you review both residential and commercial structures?
Yes — from wood-frame single-family homes to concrete high-rises, parking garages, and industrial facilities. Our PE-licensed team has experience across all structure types and materials.
Do you coordinate with the engineer of record?
Yes. We communicate directly with the project EOR to resolve questions efficiently, avoiding back-and-forth correction cycles that delay approval.
