Two houses that look identical from outside can hold up to a hurricane in completely different ways.
It comes down to details you can't see at a glance:
β How tall the house is
β Where in South Florida it sits (Coral Gables isn't the same as Key Biscayne)
β Which direction the facades face
β What's around it: open water, other buildings, vegetation
When an engineer calculates how a house needs to be built to withstand wind, all of this has to factor in. A calculation done for your neighbor's house doesn't work for yours, even if they look like twins.
We run the specific analysis for every project. With an active engineering business (EB-37658), we sign off on calculations we actually did for your house β not adapted versions of someone else's.
If you're building from scratch, expanding, or reinforcing your house before hurricane season peaks, send us a message.
