Do I need a structural engineer to remove a wall?

In most cases, yes. If the wall is load-bearing, Florida building codes require a licensed Professional Engineer to design the supporting beam and provide sealed drawings for your permit.

Can you provide drawings for permits?

Yes. CoreStructure provides PE-sealed structural drawings, calculations, and engineering letters required by building departments for permit applications.

Do you work with contractors?

Yes. We work with general contractors, remodeling contractors, and specialty contractors throughout Florida. We provide fast turnaround on beam sizing, structural details, and permit response letters.

Do you inspect foundation cracks?

Yes. We perform foundation assessments to evaluate cracking, settlement, and structural concerns. You receive a PE-sealed report with findings and recommendations.

How quickly can I get a report or design?

Most residential engineering letters and inspection reports are completed within 3 to 5 business days. Urgent deadlines can be accommodated when possible.

What information should I send before the appointment?

Helpful items include photos of the area, existing plans or surveys, the property address, building department comments if applicable, and a description of what you are planning.
