New projects
An independent second read of the structural design — code compliance, load path, constructability and documentation quality.
- Applies to
- New construction
- Coverage
- Miami-Dade & Broward County, Florida
When you need it
A second read before the drawings go out.
By the time a structural problem is found in construction, it is a schedule event. An independent review before the set is issued is the cheapest risk reduction available on a project.
- 01A lender, insurer or owner requires an independent structural review before construction.
- 02A drawing set is about to be issued and nobody outside the design team has read it.
- 03Something in the structure worries you and you want a second engineer to look, not to redesign.
Owners and developers managing structural risk · Design teams seeking an independent check · Lenders and insurers requiring third-party review
Scope & deliverables
What's included
- Independent review of structural drawings and calculations
- Code compliance and load-path continuity check
- Review of analysis assumptions and modeling
- Constructability and detailing review
- Documentation completeness and coordination review
- Review of the design team’s responses until every comment is closed
What you receive
- Independent review report
- Prioritized comment log
- Resolution tracking through close-out
Next step
Send the drawing set and calculations, and say what the review is for. You receive a fixed-fee proposal for the depth of review that matches it.
How the work runs
Scope the review
Depth agreed up front — full review, targeted systems, or a specific concern.
Review
Drawings, calculations and models read independently against the governing code.
Comment
Findings issued as a structured comment log, prioritized by structural consequence.
Close out
Responses reviewed and comments tracked to closure so the record is complete.
Good to know
What changes the scope — and what no engineer can promise.
- A peer review examines the design as submitted; it does not transfer engineer-of-record responsibility.
- Review depth and fee scale with the size and complexity of the set.
- Comments are written to be resolved, not to assign blame.
Next step
A county notice in your hand, a building that worries you or a new project — describe it and attach what you have. A phone photo of the letter is enough. You hear back from the engineer, with questions or with a written proposal.
