in Tavernier
Structural engineering for Tavernier renovations, additions, and older CBS homes — stamped for Monroe County Upper Keys flood and wind review.
The Location
Engineering in Tavernier
Tavernier sits at MM 90-94, the southern end of Key Largo Island, with bayside and oceanside neighborhoods including Tavernier Creek, Harry Harris Park, and the old railroad district.
Mid-century concrete-block houses define a lot of Tavernier work — openings, second-story additions, and tie-down upgrades that have to prove the existing foundation can carry new loads. Flood notes matter here: many Tavernier lots sit in AE or VE zones, so habitable-floor and below-BFE detailing belongs on the sheets before the Upper Keys office in Plantation Key will move a permit. Sealed letters for Tavernier closings and roof-to-wall schedules after storms follow the same PE path we stamp on every Keys residential set. Narrow-lot pool and deck packages on Tavernier canals get the same flood callouts so the accessory structure does not surprise the reviewer after the main-house set is already in.

The Engineer
Plans stamped by our licensed PE
Every set of drawings that leaves this office carries our Florida PE seal (PE #79269) — no sub-consultants, no stamp-for-hire. Our firm has engineered more than 6,500 projects, with 11+ years specifically in the Florida Keys environment.
That means your Tavernier project benefits from code fluency built specifically around Monroe County and incorporated-city review patterns — not a firm adapting a generic Florida template for a Keys lot.
