Structural Engineering Services in Jupiter

We handle structural design and analysis, structural plans review, forensic engineering, premises liability and expert witness work for residential, commercial and multi-family property.

Jupiter's building stock leans low-rise and mid-rise, so much of the work here is residential design, renovation and post storm investigation rather than high-rise compliance.

Jupiter Files With the Town, Not the County

Palm Beach County's milestone program covers unincorporated areas only, so a condominium or cooperative inside Jupiter town limits files its milestone report with the Town of Jupiter building department. Fla. Stat. 553.899 reaches condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or more, first at 30 years from the certificate of occupancy unless the local building department has set 25 years for coastal proximity.

Coastal Exposure From the Inlet to the Intracoastal

Jupiter sits between the Atlantic and the Loxahatchee River, and the salt air reaches well inland of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and the Intracoastal.

That exposure shows up as corrosion at railing embeds, balcony slab edges and exposed connections, which is what we look for first on any older building here.

Design and Renovation in Abacoa and Along Indiantown Road

Newer residential and mixed use construction around Abacoa and the Indiantown Road corridor brings a steady flow of renovation, addition and structural modification work.

We produce signed and sealed drawings and calculations for that work, and review plans prepared by others where an owner wants independent confirmation before building.

Areas We Serve Around Jupiter

We work throughout Jupiter, including Abacoa, the Indiantown Road corridor, Jupiter Inlet Colony and the waterfront communities along the Loxahatchee, and across Tequesta, Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and North Palm Beach. Coverage continues south through West Palm Beach and north to Vero Beach.

Common Questions About Structural Engineering in Jupiter

  • Which building department handles a milestone report in Jupiter?

    The Town of Jupiter building department. Palm Beach County's milestone program applies to unincorporated areas of the county, so a building inside town limits does not file with the county.

  • Is my Jupiter condominium on a 25 year or 30 year clock?

    The statutory default is 30 years from the certificate of occupancy. A local building department may require 25 years where salt water proximity justifies it.

    Call 866-531-7621 with your address and certificate of occupancy date and we will confirm the trigger with the town before quoting.

  • Do you design for single family and waterfront homes in Jupiter?

    Yes. Structural design and analysis for new build, addition and renovation work on residential property is core work, alongside commercial and multi-family projects.

  • Can you investigate storm damage for an insurance claim?

    Yes. Forensic engineering reports separating wind damage from water damage, and storm damage from pre-existing deterioration, are a standing service.

  • Who leads the engineering work?

    Jonnatan R. Mendez, PE, SI, a Florida licensed Professional Engineer who holds the state's Special Inspector credential and is licensed to practise in 16 or more states.

Premises Liability

Slip, trip and fall evaluations and walking-surface analysis.
