Who We Support
Engineering and permit support built around how you work.
Engineering behind your architectural set.
We support architects with structural engineering, residential MEP design, energy calculations, permit responses, and construction-phase engineering for additions, renovations, townhomes, ADUs, and light commercial projects. You keep the client relationship; we provide the engineering support.
Engineering for ArchitectsEngineering when the building department asks for it.
We help contractors with signed and sealed engineering documents for load-bearing wall removals, beams, headers, foundations, garage conversions, additions, roof framing repairs, ADUs, and permit corrections.
Engineering for ContractorsFlorida approval support for modular and panelized systems.
We support manufacturers with modular building design for Florida industrialized building approval, signed and sealed construction documents, quality manuals, installation manuals, third-party agency coordination, site-specific permit documents, foundations, energy calculations, and panelized CFS building design.
Manufacturer Engineering SupportPermit packages that help sell and install ADUs.
We prepare site-specific documents needed to turn a pre-approved ADU or modular unit into a local building permit package, including foundation, site coordination, energy calculations, MEP support, and permit responses.

ADU construction documents and permitting. We produce the complete site-specific package that turns a Florida pre-approved ADU unit into a building permit — quickly and completely.
