Structural engineering in Doral.
With a heavy concentration of light-commercial and newer residential construction, Doral reviews permit work through its own building department. Like the rest of Miami-Dade, it falls in the HVHZ.
Doral's commercial character brings a lot of tenant build-outs, rooftop equipment, and light-commercial structural work, all of which we prepare and seal for the city's review.
