Our Services
We Offer a Range of Services to Meet Your Needs
Concrete Restoration
Concrete restoration is the repair of the reinforced concrete balconies, beams, slabs, columns, or post tensioned concrete slabs which can be associated with further restoration of building components such as termite damaged wood, corroded structural steel, delaminating or cracked stucco, deteriorated window/door sealants, deteriorated expansion joints, waterproofing, and/or paint beyond it’s useful life.
A concrete restoration project requires a structural engineer to:
1. Provide accurate existing condition assessments
2. Create drawings and specifications detailing the design and quantification of all repairs at specific locations of restoration
3. Perform special inspections and project management during construction
40/50 Year Recertifications
Recertifications are legislative requirements from Miami-Dade and Broward counties for specific buildings that are 25, 30, or 40 years old and every 10 years thereafter. A recertification consists of a structural recertification and an electrical recertification. Each municipality within Miami-Dade and Broward County may have different versions/forms for the recertifications.
A recertification project requires a special inspector to:
1. Provide accurate existing condition assessments of the aged structure
2. Document all observations and information in the required report formats
3. To indicate the repairs required, if applicable
If repairs are required this may require additional services such as specific engineering designs, inspections, or consultation for a project.
Milestone Inspections
Milestone inspections are legislative requirements from the State of Florida for buildings that are 25 or 30 years old and ever 10 years thereafter. A milestone is comprised of a structural inspection. Each municipality within Florida may have different version/forms for the milestone.
A milestone project requires a special inspector to:
1. Provide accurate existing condition assessments of the aged structure
2. Document all observations and information in the required report formats
3. To indicate the repairs required, if applicable
If repairs are required this may require additional services such as specific engineering designs, inspections, or consultation for a project.
Waterproofing
Waterproofing of existing structures involves the application of various materials and techniques to prevent water penetration and moisture related damage. It typically includes the installation of waterproof membranes, coatings, or sealants on surfaces vulnerable to water ingress, such as balconies, garages, roofs, walls, pools, and decks. By creating a barrier against moisture, waterproofing helps preserve the structural integrity of buildings, mitigates corrosion of steel reinforcement, and enhances overall longevity.
A waterproofing project requires a structural engineer to:
1. Identify the surface or waterproofing that needs repair or specifying
2. Create drawings and specifications detailing the design and quantification of all repairs at specific locations of waterproofing
3. Perform special inspections and project management during construction
Roof Consulting & Design
Roof consultation and re-roofing designs of existing structures entails a comprehensive assessment of the current roof condition followed by recommendations for repairs or replacement. During consultation, factors such as wind pressures, roof primary drainage, roof secondary drainage, insurance requirements, material suitability, weather resistance, and energy efficiency are considered.
Re-roofing involves the removal of the existing roof materials and the installation of new roofing components, ensuring optimal performance and longevity while addressing any structural issues or aesthetic concerns.
​
A re-roofing project requires a structural engineer to:
1. Identify the surface or roof that needs repair or replacement
2. Create drawings and specifications that specify, design, and perform all calculations necessary for all roof consultation
3. Perform special inspections and project management during construction
Engineering Drawings
Engineering drawings are detailed visual representations of technical designs, plans, and specifications used in the construction or manufacturing of structures, systems, or components. These drawings typically include precise measurements, dimensions, annotations, and symbols to communicate essential information to contractors, engineers, and others involved in the project. They serve as a universal language in the engineering field, facilitating clear communication and ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout the design and construction process. Engineering drawings must be signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer.
Expert Witness Services
Expert witness services for a structural engineer involve providing professional testimony and analysis in legal proceedings related to construction disputes, building failures, or code violations. Drawing upon their technical expertise and experience, the structural engineer evaluates complex engineering issues, presents findings, and offers opinions to assist the court in understanding technical matters. These services play a crucial role in resolving legal disputes by providing impartial, authoritative insights into the structural integrity and compliance of buildings and infrastructure.
Project Management
Project management in our projects typically involves overseeing the bidding phase of a project with a pre-bid meeting, bid analysis, recommendations, and meetings with the client and assistance with various aspects during a construction project. This includes conducting progress meetings, recording meeting minutes, asbuilt documentation, and resolving challenges. Project management plays a crucial role in guiding project teams towards their final goal of a project that adheres to the permitted documents.

Forensic Engineering Reports
Forensic engineering reports in structural engineering entail comprehensive investigations into the root causes of structural failures, accidents, or defects. These reports meticulously analyze structural components, materials, construction practices, and environmental factors to determine the factors contributing to the incident. They provide detailed findings, conclusions, and recommendations, serving as essential documentation for legal proceedings, insurance claims, and remediation efforts aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future.
