Structural Engineering
Structures designed, assessed, and repaired to last.
From new residential and commercial framing to post-loss repair design, Alvarez Engineering delivers sealed drawings, calculations, and clear direction that move projects through permitting and construction.
Services
Practical structural engineering for real buildings.
Backed by a Master’s in Structural Engineering and years of bridge and building design, every deliverable is built to pass plan review the first time.
Residential Structural Design
Foundations, framing, beams, and wind-load design for new homes, additions, and renovations under the Florida Building Code.
Commercial & Light Industrial
Steel, concrete, masonry, and wood systems for tenant build-outs, additions, mezzanines, and equipment supports.
Structural Condition Assessments
Evaluations of existing structures for cracking, settlement, deterioration, and load capacity — with prioritized recommendations.
Post-Loss Repair Design
Sealed repair drawings for storm, fire, water, and impact damage so contractors can rebuild correctly and pass inspection.
Permit Drawings & Letters
Signed and sealed plans, calculations, and engineering letters prepared for building departments and lenders.
Aerial & Drone Inspection
FAA-certified remote pilot imagery for roofs, façades, and hard-to-reach structural elements, documented for the record.
Design to delivery
Engineering that speaks the contractor’s language.
Years spent as a project manager alongside field crews mean drawings that are buildable, details that are clear, and questions answered before they stall a job.
Signed and sealed by a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer
Wind-load and hurricane-zone design per the Florida Building Code
Site visits and construction-phase support when the field differs from the plan
Fast turnaround on engineering letters and permit revisions
Process
How a structural project moves from call to construction.
01
Scope & Site Visit
We review your plans or walk the existing structure to define exactly what engineering is required.
02
Analysis & Design
Loads, members, and connections are sized and checked against current code and site conditions.
03
Sealed Deliverables
Drawings, calculations, and letters are signed, sealed, and formatted for the permitting authority.
04
Construction Support
RFIs, field changes, and inspections handled quickly so the schedule stays on track.
