What is Signed and Sealed Plans?
A professional engineer’s signature and seal identify responsibility for the engineering document. The responsible engineer signs and seals the work within their professional responsibility. Permit requirements depend on the work and jurisdiction; a seal does not guarantee permit approval.
Who Needs Engineering Plans for Permits?
Contractors — constructible plans that reduce RFIs and keep schedules on track. We follow up on plan-review comments as needed.
Developers — coordinated multi-discipline structural packages for multiunit and commercial projects.
Homeowners — new construction, remodels, ADUs, pools, decks, reroofs and other residential permits.
Turnaround Time Expectations
Scope, deliverables, and timing are confirmed in your proposal after we review the project information. Tell us about any deadline when requesting a quote. Any expedited schedule or additional file formats must be agreed in the proposal.
Our Process - from Request to Delivery
What Structural Plans Include
Structural plans provide the technical design and calculations reviewers need to approve construction:
- Loads and calculations — dead, live, wind loads per Florida Building Code, load combinations, and supporting calculations.
- Framing plans — roof, floor, and wall framing layouts with member sizes and layout notes.
- Beams, columns and schedules — beam and column sizes, reactions, and connection requirements.
- Foundations — footing, pile or slab details, soil bearing notes, and foundation calculations.
- Lateral system and connections — shear walls, bracing, straps, hold-downs, and connection details.
- Material specifications and notes — steel, concrete, timber specifications and construction notes.
- Design package — stamped drawings, structural calculations, and beam/connection detail sheets as permit-ready deliverables.
This set forms the structural engineer drawings required for permit review.
