Planning a concrete slab project in Fort Myers or nearby?

A new concrete slab — for a room addition, shed, AC or generator pad, or outdoor kitchen — is foundation work, and in Lee County it needs a permit with PE-stamped drawings. We engineer the slab thickness, reinforcement and footings for your loads and your site.

Do you need a permit for a concrete slab in Lee County?

In Lee County, most new slabs that carry a structure or equipment need a permit and sealed engineering. The design isn't about wind — it's about the ground: soil-bearing capacity, slab thickness, reinforcement, footing depth and a vapor barrier. The engineer sizes all of that so the slab won't crack, settle or heave. Confirm the specifics with Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review before you build.

Soil & foundation in Lee County

Site-specific
Slab thickness, reinforcement and footings are sized to your loads and Lee County soil conditions per FBC 2023.

Lee County typically has a high water table and coastal flood-zone requirements. That's why a slab package starts with the soil: presumptive bearing under the Florida Building Code, or a geotechnical report where conditions call for one. From there we size the slab thickness, the reinforcement and the footing depth so the foundation performs — the part Lee County's stricter high-wind plan review reviews most closely.
