Compliance Work Filed With the City

Palm Beach County's milestone program covers unincorporated areas only, so a building inside West Palm Beach city limits files with the city building department instead. We prepare Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports for associations across the city. Details sit on our West Palm Beach milestone inspection coverage.

Design and Renovation Along a Growing Skyline

West Palm Beach has been adding height downtown for a decade, and the work that follows new towers is renovation, tenant fit out and structural modification in buildings that were never drawn for it.

We produce signed and sealed structural drawings and calculations for that work, and review plans where an owner or municipality wants a second set of eyes.

Forensic Work After Storms and Claims

Palm Beach County sits outside the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers Miami-Dade and Broward only, but wind and water damage here still turns into disputed claims.

Our forensic reports separate wind from water, distinguish pre-existing deterioration from storm damage, and hold up when an adjuster or opposing counsel takes them apart.

Areas We Serve Around West Palm Beach

We work throughout West Palm Beach, from the Flagler Drive waterfront and Northwood to El Cid, Flamingo Park and the Village of Palm Beach Lakes, and across Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Lake Worth Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. Coverage continues south through Boca Raton and north to Jupiter.

Common Questions About Structural Engineering in West Palm Beach

  • Do you serve buildings inside West Palm Beach city limits and in unincorporated Palm Beach County?

    Yes, both. The difference is which building department receives the filing. Buildings inside city limits file with the City of West Palm Beach, and unincorporated properties file with Palm Beach County.

  • Do you handle new construction design as well as inspections?

    Yes. Structural design and analysis for new build and renovation projects is core work, alongside inspection, forensic and expert witness services.

  • Can you review plans someone else prepared?

    Yes. Structural plans review is a standing service, whether the client is an owner protecting their investment or a municipality needing independent review.

  • Can you serve as an expert witness on a Palm Beach County case?

    Yes. Expert witness work covers litigation support, report preparation and testimony, and Jonnatan R. Mendez, PE, SI, has more than 20 years of assignments behind that testimony.
