    Signs Your Project Needs Structural Design

    If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to talk to a structural designer.

    Your Permit Was Rejected or Flagged

    Florida counties frequently reject tiny home and ADU applications missing engineered plans. If your permit office asked for "stamped structural calculations," this is exactly what we provide.

    You're Building in a Hurricane or Flood Zone

    Coastal and HVHZ counties like Miami-Dade and Broward require specific wind-load and tie-down engineering. We design to your exact zone's requirements, not a generic template.

    You're Converting a Garage, Shed, or Detached Structure

    Adding living space to an existing structure often means the original framing or foundation wasn't built for new loads. We assess and re-engineer as needed.

    Don't Wait Permit Delays Compound Quickly

    A missing structural package can stall your entire project timeline. The sooner you get proper plans started, the sooner your build can move forward.

    What Our Structural Design Service Covers

    Our structural design service covers every engineered component your Florida project needs to pass permitting and withstand the elements.

    Wind & Hurricane Load Engineering

    We calculate wind loads specific to your county's wind speed zone, from standard 140 mph areas to 180+ mph HVHZ zones, ensuring your structure's connections and tie-downs meet Florida Building Code.

    Foundation & Footing Design

    Whether your project needs piers, a monolithic slab, or a stem-wall foundation, we engineer footing sizes and placement matched to your soil type, structure weight, and local flood elevation rules.

    Framing & Load-Path Plans

    We produce stamped framing layouts showing shear walls, header sizes, and connection hardware, giving your builder a clear, code-compliant path from roof to foundation.

    COST / PRICING

    What Does Structural Design Cost in Florida?

    Structural design costs vary based on project size, wind zone, and foundation type, and we believe you should know that upfront, not after you’ve called three firms for quotes.

    Factors That Affect the Price

    Key cost drivers include square footage, whether you’re in an HVHZ zone, foundation type (slab vs. pier), and whether existing structures need re-engineering. Typical structural design packages for tiny homes and ADUs in Florida range from $1,500 to $4,500.

    Our ADU permit got rejected twice before we found Tiny Home Builders Florida. Their stamped plans were approved on the first resubmission.

    Karen, Sarasota

    We needed HVHZ-compliant plans for our tiny home in Broward County. They knew the code inside and out and turned it around fast.

    Michael, Fort Lauderdale

    Flat-fee pricing meant no surprises. Would recommend them to anyone building a park model in Florida
