OUR SERVICES

SHOP DRAWINGS & CALCULATIONS

We provide detailed and certified shop drawings and calculations for every project whether it be standard or custom, residential, or commercial. We are glad to offer unlimited shop drawing services to our clients. Our services include glazing, steel, aluminum shop drawings, and calculations. We work on all building components such as stairs, railings, structural framing, wall cladding, slab works, glazing, and other shop drawings. All shop drawings and calculations are reviewed by the customer before being signed & sealed and approved by our licensed Professional Engineers; we also use the applicable building code according to the location of your project.

 

Our experienced CAD drafting team will work to satisfy your needs and expectations because we understand how important it is that every part of your project is perfectly integrated with the big picture on the site.

BUILDING REPAIR & RENOVATIONS

We work closely with you through the process of repairs and renovation, to transform your property, and achieve your design vision. We ensure your renovation will be beautiful and functional by fixing present elements or adding new components. Once you have clarity on the scope of your project, we can help you and work together in the phase of design, considering all that you need to complete it and finally bring your vision to life.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING & DESIGNS

Our professional team creates innovative designs and products to provide solutions, guided by one principle: customer satisfaction. Our designs are characterized by simplicity, modern concept, functionality, and security, customized to meet your specific needs. These involve the design and engineering of curtain walls, storefronts, skylights, storm protection systems, railings, windows, doors, and all other components that encompass the building envelope with a focus on high-velocity hurricane zones. Our service includes the design of engineering works or systems in connection with buildings, structures, or facilities, in compliance with the latest codes, to make the permitting phase as efficient and successful as possible.

CODE COMPLIANCES

We offer code compliance certificates that confirm that any building or glazing work done on a property complies with the corresponding Building Code. These apply to multiple categories of products such as exterior doors, windows, panel walls, roofing products, shutters, skylights, structural components, and products comprising a building’s envelope introduced as a result of new technology.

 

A Code Compliance letter is necessary for obtaining a building permit for construction. This will provide benefits such as reducing the risks of catastrophic structural failures, windows, doors, garage doors, components, and anchors resisting wind pressures, and window protection reducing wind-borne debris damage. Overall, the building structure performing well in high wind pressures.

 

Avoid fines and residential violations by requesting our services. Don’t start work without your permit!

FIELD CONDITIONS

Most construction contracts require written notice for changes, differing site conditions, extra work, or other events which may affect the contractor’s time and cost of performance. The report of these field conditions identifies aspects of your property to help you spot red flags and quickly identify your asset’s risk factors.

 

The process of giving “notice” is vital to triggering the contract mechanisms that allow the contractor to pursue additional time and cost and to reserve its rights to recover for any unforeseen but related impacts that may later arise.

SPECIAL INSPECTIONS

A building inspection is essential in ensuring that your glazing is well-protected to prevent potential problems before they occur. Proper glazing can improve several components of the building when properly installed. In certain regions, safety standards require withstanding the impact of a hurricane.

 

One of the important functions of these inspections is that Professional Inspectors will ensure the windows and materials are installed properly according to the building codes. Aside from ongoing energy savings, a building glazing inspection can save you even more by preventing potentially catastrophic storm damage and will also analyze the surrounding structure to identify potential weaknesses and deficiencies and recommend proper solutions. Inspectors can provide a clear written report with details on these potential issues that may be necessary to improve the building’s envelope.

WIND LOAD CHARTS & TABLES

We offer Wind Load Calculations (Worst-Case Scenario and Site-Specific) for the determination of wind pressures for components and cladding in doors, windows, railing, garage doors, fences, and other structures, as required by code. These charts and tables are engineered sealed documents that meet the requirements of the latest Building Codes as per the latest ASCE 7 Standards.

 

The building’s structural design must absorb wind forces efficiently and transfer them to the foundations to avoid structural collapse. In structural design, this pressure exerted by the wind is the most important thing to be considered. The results from the wind pressure chart are used to compare the limiting pressures of the products being installed.

PRODUCT APPROVAL/ NOA VALIDATIONS

We offer Product Approval reviews, provide testing, and certification services necessary to assure products are protected against all environmental changes. When severe weather strikes in a hurricane-prone region, the performance of the fenestration system could be what saves homes or lives.

 

Product Approvals let architects, specifiers, builders, buyers, and authorities having Jurisdiction know that your products meet the unique requirements for a hurricane-prone area. Having a Miami-Dade NOA (Notice of Acceptance) shows that your product is suitable for commercial use and has passed the impact resistance test for cases of extreme weather.
