We Get Your Florida Permit Done.

Most Florida homeowners only find out they needed a permit after work has already started — or worse, when they try to sell. We get your project permitted correctly the first time, fast, with a direct line to the engineer from day one. No confusion, no delays, no middlemen.

Residential Engineering & Permit Services

Complete PE-sealed permit packages prepared to Florida county building department requirements — and we handle the review comments.

🏊 Pool Services

Pool enclosure permit engineering
🏗️

Pool Enclosure Permits

Your pool cage or screen enclosure engineered and sealed. We prepare everything the county needs and revise our sealed drawings free until it's approved; with optional Assistant Filing we submit and handle the county's comments for you.

Pool construction permit Florida
🏊

Pool Construction Permits

Building a new pool? We prepare the complete permit package so your contractor can start — and finish — without delays.

Pool repair renovation permit Florida
🔧

Pool Repair & Renovation

Pool cracked? Adding a spa? Structural repairs need a permit. We handle the engineering and tell you exactly what's required before work begins.

Pool demolition Florida
🏚️

Pool Demolition Permits

Removing a pool done wrong creates problems that surface years later — sinkholes, drainage issues, title defects. We document the removal so none of that happens.

Pool closing documentation Florida
📋

Pool Closing & Abandonment

Closing a pool instead of removing it? We prepare the PE documentation that keeps future title searches — and your yard — problem-free.

🌿 Screen Enclosure Services

Screen enclosure with pool Florida
🏊🌿

Screen Enclosure — With Pool

Screen enclosure over your pool, permitted right the first time. County-specific engineering — not a generic template that gets rejected.

Screen enclosure without pool Florida
🌿

Screen Enclosure — Without Pool

Screen room or lanai with no pool? Same permit requirements apply. We handle the engineering so your contractor can start on schedule.

Screen enclosure repair structural Florida
🔩

Screen Enclosure Repair & Structural Modification

Storm damaged your enclosure? We get structural repairs permitted fast — and document the damage for your insurance claim at the same time.

Lanai design Florida
🏡

Lanai Design & Engineering

A permitted lanai adds 5–15% to your home's value. An unpermitted one adds zero — and becomes a problem when you sell. We make sure yours counts.

🏗️ Outdoor Structures & Design

Covered patio design Florida
☂️

Covered Patio Design

A covered patio is one of Florida's most common unpermitted structures. We get yours permitted before it becomes a liability at resale.

Pergola deck engineering Florida
🌳

Pergola & Deck Engineering

A pergola built without Florida-specific engineering won't pass permit review. We build packages designed for your county's actual wind requirements.

Outdoor kitchen slab Florida
🍳

Outdoor Kitchen & Slab

Your outdoor kitchen investment needs a permit to be insured, appraised, and protected at resale. We handle the structural engineering.

Concrete slab footing permit Florida

Concrete Slab & Footing Design

A slab poured without engineering for what sits on top of it will crack. We design it for your actual structure — posts, columns, and loads included.

Retaining wall permit engineering Florida
🧱

Retaining Wall Design

A retaining wall has to hold back soil, water, and any load above it. We engineer the wall, footing, and drainage for your site — so it doesn't bulge, lean, or slide.

Fence permit engineering Florida
🚧

Fence Engineering

A tall, masonry, or pool-barrier fence needs engineering. We size the posts, footings, and wind-load design so your fence passes permit and survives the storm.

📐 Permit Revisions

Permit revisions Florida
📐

Permit Revisions

Got a rejected or commented permit package? We review all plan review comments from the building department, update the drawings and calculations accordingly, and prepare the resubmission. Most revisions are turned around in 3–5 business days. We handle revisions for our own packages and for packages originally prepared by other engineers.

Structural Engineering

Beyond Outdoor Structures

Not every project is a screen enclosure. If the structure stands on its own, attaches to the house, or becomes living space, the engineering changes — and so does what the county asks for.

Structural Engineering Hub

Freestanding, attached and conversion projects — pool houses, greenhouses, detached garages, additions and new homes.

Lanai → Conditioned Space

Turning a lanai or screen room into insulated, conditioned floor area that counts as part of the house.

Anchorage & Connection Design

Base plates, embedment, epoxy and mechanical anchors, uplift and lateral connections. Sealed calculations.

Product Approval Engineering

For manufacturers: independent Florida PE evaluation of a building product for the Florida market.

Simple Process

How It Works

From your first contact to permit-ready package — here's exactly what to expect.

1
Send Your Details
Send your project address, service type, dimensions, and county. A property survey is required for engineering — if you don't have one yet, we can still provide a preliminary quote.
2
Receive Proposal — Within 24h
A detailed flat-rate proposal is sent by email as a PDF within 24 business hours — including scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. No surprises.
3
Sign Contract & Pay Deposit
Sign the digital service agreement and pay 50% deposit. Send your property survey — required before engineering begins.
4
Engineering & PE Seal
Structural calculations, wind load analysis, and permit drawings prepared to FBC 2023 and ASCE 7-22. Signed and sealed by FL PE #102290 within 5–7 business days.
5
Submit to the County (Optional)
With optional Assistant Filing we handle the county submission on your behalf and address the county's comments for you, so you don't deal with the building department at all.
6
Permit Approved — Final Payment
County approves the permit. You pay the remaining 50% balance. Your contractor receives the approved package and starts construction.
📄 Service Agreement — signed digitally by both parties before work begins  ·  💳 Payment Methods — Zelle · Venmo · PayPal · Credit Card (via PayPal)  ·  📧 All communication — by phone, text, or email directly with the PE
