A clear starting point
What to send for your Vero Beach project
Include the full property address so the team can confirm the project location, responsible firm and scope. Send the documents you have and identify any records that are still being prepared.
- Property address and parcel identification
- Survey or site plan, if available
- Proposed building use and project description

- Available site evaluation information and any agency comments
Include any written review comments together with the version of the plans they refer to. This helps the team understand the request without relying on a summary of individual comments.
Design and permitting are separate steps
A complete inquiry helps the engineering team understand the property before promising a deliverable. Provide available records even if they are incomplete, and identify information that is still being obtained.
- Tell us whether the request is for a new system, a repair or a modification.
- Include any written permitting comments and the corresponding submitted documents.
- Confirm the current permitting contact for the property through the official resources below.

Common questions
Before you request a proposal
The project records and proposed work guide the scope. Contact our team if the available documents do not clearly identify the engineering you need.
Do you install septic systems?
No. Florida Engineering provides engineering and design; installation and construction are outside our services.
Can I request a proposal before every document is available?
Yes. Share the information you have and identify what is missing. We will review the request and explain what additional records are needed before confirming the scope.
Does a state permit replace local approvals?
The DEP application guidance explains that state permitting does not replace applicable local approvals. Confirm the current requirements with the responsible authority for your property.
