Practice area • Engineering & documentation

The drawings, letters, and calculations your permit requires.

Permit applications often require engineering deliverables most homeowners didn’t know existed — until a plan reviewer asked for them. We coordinate the full documentation package through a network of licensed Florida professional engineers, draftspeople, and surveyors. You receive a submittal-ready package, or we submit it directly.

Deliverables

Six documents we produce most often.

01

Structural engineer drawings (seal-and-sign)

Drawings sealed and signed by a Florida Professional Engineer. Required for most structures over a threshold size, attached to a primary residence, or located in special-flood / wind zones. Includes plan view, sections, details, and structural calculations.

02

Foundation letter

A signed and sealed letter from a Florida PE certifying foundation adequacy for an existing or new structure. Most commonly required for pergolas, sheds, accessory structures, and impact-window installations on older foundations.

03

Wind-load calculations

HVHZ wind-load calculations referencing the current Florida Building Code wind speed map (Risk Category, exposure category, mean roof height). Required for nearly all exterior structures in Miami-Dade.

04

As-built drawings

Existing conditions surveyed, measured, and drafted to permit-ready standard. The foundation deliverable for any after-the-fact permit.

05

Product approval (NOA) documentation

Florida Building Code Notice of Acceptance verification for windows, doors, roofing, and other listed products. The package the plan reviewer needs to confirm the installed product is HVHZ-compliant.

06

Plan revisions to address corrections

When a plan reviewer issues corrections, we coordinate the revision with the original engineer or draftsperson and prepare the re-submittal package.

Our network

We coordinate. Licensed professionals deliver.

Our network includes Florida-licensed structural engineers, architects, draftspeople, and land surveyors, each retained on a project basis. We don’t employ engineers in-house — we coordinate with the right specialist for each project type. This keeps cost lower and quality higher than a generalist firm trying to do it all.

For each project we tell you which professional will produce which deliverable, what their fee is, and what the timeline looks like. The engineering fee is separate from our coordination fee and flows directly to the engineer.

Process

Three steps to a submittal-ready package.

01
Scope review
We identify exactly which deliverables your permit requires — based on the structure, the property, the municipality, and the reviewer’s specific comments (if any).
02
Coordination
We engage the appropriate specialist from our network, manage the deliverable, and review the work product against permit requirements before it goes to you.
03
Delivery
You receive a complete, submittal-ready package — or we submit it directly as part of a permit expediting or violation resolution engagement.
Recent case
Coconut Grove • Wind-Load Recertification on Existing Pergola • Delivered 2025 “Plan reviewer asked for current HVHZ wind-load calcs on a pergola my prior contractor built five years ago. Permit Solutions coordinated a PE who issued the calcs and a foundation letter in eight days. Permit issued the following week.”
