Hello, I reviewed your Florida home addition project and understand that the structural drawings need to meet the latest Florida Building Code, including wind uplift, hurricane and flood-zone requirements for permit review. I want to be transparent: I am not a Florida-licensed PE, so I cannot provide the signed and sealed engineering package myself. However, I can support the structural drafting side using your finalized DWG layout, prepare clean foundation/framing/roof/connection drawings, coordinate details, and organize the CAD/PDF set for review by your licensed Florida engineer. Do you already have a Florida PE who will review and seal the drawings, or are you only considering bidders with an active Florida license? I can work carefully with your engineer to make the package clear, coordinated, and permit-ready. With respect.

Hi, I went through your requirements and this is a Florida Building Code permit level structural engineering scope where compliance and sealing requirements are the core constraint. I can develop the full structural system from your DWG files, including load path definition, member sizing, foundation and roof design, and hurricane wind and uplift resistance checks aligned with FBC standards. The deliverables will be prepared as permit ready structural drawings with full calculation package, coordinated for PE review and sealing for submission to the municipality. My workflow typically uses SAP2000 or ETABS for analysis and AutoCAD for clean, inspector ready documentation. I’ve handled similar residential addition structural packages, I can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Quick question: has the architect already defined the roof system type, or is that still open for structural optimization? Best Regards, Muskan
