Residential Engineering & Permit Services

Serving Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach & The Bahamas

At Florida Builders Engineers & Inspectors, we specialize in resolving complex residential permitting and structural compliance issues throughout South Florida and the nearby Bahamas Islands.
Our firm even operates its own private aircraft, allowing our engineers to fly directly between South Florida airports and Nassau, Freeport, Bimini, and the Abacos—making projects across borders seamless, fast, and affordable.

Expired Permits & Code Violation Resolution

If your home in Miami Springs, Key Largo, Coral Terrace, or Miami Gardens has open or expired permits, our team can reopen and close them properly to stop costly fines and prevent code liens. Since the 2010 Florida Bar & Realtors Contract revision, expired-permit searches have become mandatory for all real-estate transactions.
We help homeowners, buyers, and realtors across Pembroke Park, Plantation Isles, Coconut Creek, and Parkland clear title and expedite closings by handling every step of the permit reactivation process — from archival research to final sign-offs.

Whether it’s an old addition, a pool enclosure, or a window retrofit, our engineers know how to navigate every local municipality’s portal to get your property back in compliance quickly.

Door, Window & Shutter Permits

Throughout Hollywood Lakes, Coral Ridge, Wellington, and Greenacres, one of the most common violations homeowners face is unpermitted installation of doors, impact windows, or hurricane shutters.
Our engineers prepare complete permit packages that include wind-load calculations, anchoring details, and NOA (Notice of Acceptance) documentation to satisfy city building departments from Cutler Bay and Palmetto Estates to Royal Palm Beach and Boynton Beach.

Properly permitted openings not only ensure safety during storms but can also lead to insurance premium reductions and higher resale values for your property.

Concealed Work & As-Built Certifications

No one in Florida performs more As-Built Certificates than we do.
From Pompano Isles and Weston Hills to Jupiter Farms and Lake Clarke Shores, our engineers use the most advanced tools — including infrared thermography, laser scanners, and concrete-penetrating radar — to document existing concealed work without damaging walls or finishes.
These As-Built plans allow you to legalize hidden electrical, plumbing, or structural work while avoiding demolition, saving homeowners thousands of dollars in restoration costs.

Legalization of Additions & Unpermitted Structures

Home additions built without permits are common throughout South Florida.
In Lauderdale Lakes, Cooper City, Riviera Beach, and Belle Glade, we’ve helped hundreds of property owners bring their homes into full code compliance.
As a Licensed Florida Engineering and Land Surveying Firm, we produce all the structural drawings, site plans, and zoning analysis required to legalize patios, garages, converted enclosures, and guest houses.
We understand each county’s zoning nuances — from Miami-Dade setback variances to Palm Beach flood-zone elevation requirements — and handle all correspondence with local building officials.

Unsafe Structure Corrections

If your property has been declared UNSAFE by a city or county inspector, immediate action is critical.
Our engineers respond rapidly to homes in Opa-locka, North Lauderdale, Delray Beach, and Palm Springs, preparing the structural assessments, repair plans, and certification letters required to lift unsafe orders.
In many cases, we can have your property deemed habitable again within days — allowing you to re-enter your home or resume business operations safely and legally.
