Bridging Engineering Expertise and Construction Excellence
Complex construction projects often require professional engineering analysis, from structural assessments and load calculations to building evaluations and compliance documentation. Florida Construction Specialists provides the coordination layer that ensures these engineering services integrate seamlessly with your construction project.
Our role is not to perform engineering ourselves - that is the province of licensed Professional Engineers. Instead, we bring 43+ years of construction expertise to the coordination process. We understand what questions to ask, what access engineers need, and how to translate engineering recommendations into executable construction plans. This expertise makes the engineering process more efficient and the resulting construction more accurate.
Whether you need a structural assessment following hurricane damage, coordination for mandatory SB4-D milestone inspections, engineering analysis for a renovation project, or documentation to support an insurance claim, FCS manages the entire process. We select appropriate engineering consultants, facilitate their work, ensure proper documentation, and execute any resulting construction - providing you with a single point of accountability.
With over $10 million in bonding capacity and a track record including 300++ completed projects, Florida Construction Specialists has the capability to coordinate complex engineering requirements and execute large-scale construction. From SB4-D compliance for condominium associations to hurricane damage evaluations supporting million-dollar insurance claims, we bring the coordination expertise your project needs.
Our in-house engineering team has coordinated structural assessments on hundreds of Florida buildings since 1982. Under CBC license CBC1262722, we integrate engineering analysis directly into construction planning—eliminating the communication gaps that delay projects when engineering and construction are managed separately.

Why Professional Engineering Coordination Matters
Regulatory Compliance
Many construction projects require engineering documentation for permits, inspections, and compliance. Florida's SB4-D mandate requires milestone inspections by licensed engineers for qualifying condominium buildings. Proper coordination ensures you meet all regulatory requirements.
Insurance Documentation
Engineering assessments provide professional documentation of damage causation, repair requirements, and code compliance. This documentation supports insurance claims and helps ensure fair settlements for property owners.
Construction Quality
Engineering analysis ensures construction work is properly designed for the loads and conditions it will face. From structural modifications to waterproofing systems, engineering input helps prevent failures and ensures long-term performance.
Single-Point Accountability
When FCS coordinates engineering services, you have one team responsible for the entire process. We manage the engineering relationship, integrate findings into construction, and execute the work - eliminating finger-pointing and communication gaps.
