Planning a concrete slab project in Orlando or nearby?

A new concrete slab — for a room addition, shed, AC or generator pad, or outdoor kitchen — is foundation work, and in Orange 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 Orange County?

In Orange 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 Orange County Fast Track (ePlan) electronic review before you build.

Soil & foundation in Orange County

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

Orange County typically has sandy Central Florida soils. 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 Orange County Fast Track reviews most closely.
