Residential drafting across Florida
We work with homeowners across Florida, including Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Whether you're building new, adding on, or need a site plan for a permit submission, we scope the plan set to what your city or county requires.
Building considerations in Florida
Florida is known for having some of the strictest wind-load and hurricane-resistant design requirements in the country, particularly in coastal, High-Velocity Hurricane Zone areas like Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Flood zone and finished floor elevation requirements are common across much of the state given Florida's low elevation and coastal exposure. High humidity and termite pressure are also regular considerations in material selection statewide.
Permitting in Florida
Florida has a statewide building code, but enforcement, additional local amendments, and flood-zone requirements are administered at the city or county level—and coastal High-Velocity Hurricane Zone counties have notably stricter wind-design standards than inland counties. We confirm what applies to your specific address as part of your quote.
