Florida PE review, structural calculations and signed/sealed permit drawings for residential and commercial projects. Engineering is reviewed and accepted by a licensed Florida Professional Engineer within the agreed scope before final documents are signed and sealed.
A Florida PE stamp identifies engineering documents issued under the responsibility of a licensed Florida Professional Engineer. The engineer must review the engineering work, determine that it is within their area of competence, and take professional responsibility for the accepted scope before issuing signed and sealed documents.
Drafting and engineering are different. Drafting organizes project information into drawings. Engineering adds professional analysis, design decisions, calculations and responsibility for structural or other engineering systems.
Requirements depend on the project, reviewing authority, building type, construction method and proposed work. Some projects may not need PE engineering at all, so we review the scope before recommending it.
Garages, additions, ADUs, decks, covered porches, patio covers, carports, roof modifications and structural openings.
Site-specific foundations, slabs, anchors, base plates, manufacturer reactions, wind design and existing slab coordination.
Tenant improvements, change of use, mezzanines, new openings, equipment supports, canopies, stairs and structural modifications.
Projects already reviewed by a building department where engineered details, calculations or signed/sealed responses are requested.
Project-specific wind criteria, uplift, fasteners, anchors, connections, load path and overturning where applicable.
Metal building permits often require coordination between the manufacturer’s building system and site-specific foundation or permit drawings. Manufacturer reactions, column locations, base plates, anchor layouts, wind criteria and slab/foundation information may all be needed.
An existing slab cannot be responsibly certified from thickness alone. If the original construction, reinforcement or footing information is unknown, field verification or testing may be required.
Foundations, door headers, wall bracing, roof framing, wind loads, anchors and second-story framing.
Footings, posts, beams, joists, ledgers, lateral bracing, stairs, guard posts, roof framing and house connections.
Aluminum members, posts, beams, roof framing, anchors, foundations, wind loads and attachment to existing construction.
Foundations, framing, roof tie-ins, openings, beams, headers, wind design, load paths and structural calculations.
Florida engineering documents may be issued using approved physical, digital or electronic signing and sealing methods. The appropriate method depends on the engineer, document type and the reviewing authority’s submission requirements.
Digital signing and sealing generally uses certificate-based authentication that can be verified and is linked to the document. Electronic signing and sealing follows a separate recognized procedure. A printed copy of an electronically signed/sealed PDF should not automatically be treated as the signed/sealed original.
We coordinate title blocks and seal areas with the reviewing engineer. We do not place fictitious or pre-filled professional seals on permit documents.
Best for smaller, clearly defined engineering scopes such as a specific structural detail, beam review, footing, connection or straightforward equipment support.
Structural drawing preparation, calculations, PE review, required revisions and signed/sealed final engineering documents where included.
For garages, additions, ADUs, decks, porches, metal buildings, new homes and commercial projects requiring multiple disciplines.
For projects already returned by the reviewing authority with structural or engineering comments.

View Case StudySend the entire correction notice, exact drawing set reviewed, structural calculations, manufacturer documents and prior correspondence. We can separate comments that belong to drafting, structural engineering, architecture, MEP, zoning or site planning.
Start with Property Address + Project Description + Existing or Proposed Drawings. Then send what you have: survey, dimensions, photos, structural or architectural drawings, manufacturer data, product approvals, truss drawings, metal building reactions, anchor layouts, concrete information, soil/geotechnical information, permit comments or prior calculations.
If you only have a sketch or photos, that can still be a starting point. We can often prepare the permit drawings first, then coordinate engineering review and required revisions.
These are planning ranges, not guaranteed engineering turnaround times.
Limited engineering review may start around $350. Larger structural engineering scopes are quoted based on complexity, calculations, existing conditions and drawing requirements. The fee is for professional engineering review and responsibility for the accepted scope, not a standalone graphic stamp.
Potentially. Send the complete drawing set first. The engineer must review the documents and may require revisions, calculations or additional information before accepting them.
No responsible engineering workflow should treat the seal as a standalone product. The engineer must review the project and take responsibility for the engineering documents they issue.
No. Many basic site-plan projects do not require engineering. Engineering is added when the project scope or reviewing authority requires it.
Yes, where calculations are required and included within the engineering scope.
No. A PE seal indicates professional responsibility for engineering documents within the engineer’s scope. The building department or reviewing authority makes the final permit decision.
Revisions arising from the engineer’s review of the agreed scope are coordinated during preparation. Major project changes, new systems or engineering outside the original scope may require additional fees.
Structural plans and calculations for foundations, framing, openings and connections.
Permit-ready architectural plans coordinated with engineering where needed.

Not sure what engineering you need? Send the property address and whatever plans, permit comments or manufacturer documents you already have. We will review the scope before recommending engineering.
