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.
Complete PE-sealed permit packages accepted by all Florida county building departments — no back-and-forth, no delays.
Your pool cage or screen enclosure permitted and approved. We prepare everything the county needs — and stay through review comments until it's done.
Building a new pool? We prepare the complete permit package so your contractor can start — and finish — without delays.
Pool cracked? Adding a spa? Structural repairs need a permit. We handle the engineering and tell you exactly what's required before work begins.
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.
Closing a pool instead of removing it? We prepare the PE documentation that keeps future title searches — and your yard — problem-free.
Screen enclosure over your pool, permitted right the first time. County-specific engineering — not a generic template that gets rejected.
Screen room or lanai with no pool? Same permit requirements apply. We handle the engineering so your contractor can start on schedule.
Storm damaged your enclosure? We get structural repairs permitted fast — and document the damage for your insurance claim at the same time.
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.
A covered patio is one of Florida's most common unpermitted structures. We get yours permitted before it becomes a liability at resale.
A pergola built without Florida-specific engineering won't pass permit review. We build packages designed for your county's actual wind requirements.
Your outdoor kitchen investment needs a permit to be insured, appraised, and protected at resale. We handle the structural engineering.
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.
Got a rejected or commented permit package? We review all plan review comments from the building department, update the drawings and calculations accordingly, and resubmit on your behalf. 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.
From your first contact to permit-ready package — here's exactly what to expect.
I'm a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer based in Kissimmee, FL. We don't just prepare drawings — we help homeowners and contractors navigate the permit process from start to finish. When you contact Franca Engineering, you work directly with me, the engineer responsible for the seal. No salespeople, no project managers. I personally review and seal every project.
