Services
Organized by what you need, not by what we do. Eight services in two tracks. If you own or manage a building that is already standing, start with existing buildings. If you are building something, start with new projects. Each service says when you need it, what is included, what you receive and what to do next.

Existing buildings
You own or manage a building.
For associations, property managers and owners with a county notice, a deadline, visible distress or a repair to scope. Miami-Dade and Broward each run their own program, and each has its own page here.

Miami-Dade Building Recertification
One team for the complete Miami-Dade recertification, from the notice to the amended report that closes it — the structural report, the electrical report and the certificates the county asks for with them.
- When you need it
- The notice has arrived, a courtesy notice says it is coming, or an earlier recertification is still open.
- What's included
- Notice review · Structural & electrical inspection · Thermography, where required · Parking-lot certificates · Reports on the county’s forms · Repair scope · Reinspection
- What you receive
- Every report and certificate Miami-Dade asks for — structural, electrical and, where they apply, thermography and the parking-lot certificates — plus the repair scope where one is needed.
- Next step
- Start with the notice — a photo from your phone will do — or, if there is none yet, with the address and the year built.Send the Miami-Dade Notice →
02Existing buildings
Broward Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP)
One team for the complete BSIP package, from the Notice of Required Inspection to the completion letter that closes the file — the structural and electrical inspections, the written report and the program’s two official forms.
- When you need it
- The certified letter has arrived, the building is close to its first inspection, or an earlier file is still open.
- What's included
- Notice review · Structural & electrical inspection · Written report & both official forms · Repair scope · Reinspection & close-out
- What you receive
- The whole package — the written report, the program’s structural and electrical forms and color photographs — and the repair scope where one is needed.
- Next step
- Start with your city’s letter — a photo from your phone will do — or, if there is none yet, with the address and the year of the certificate of occupancy.Send the Broward Notice →
03Existing buildings
Milestone & Structural Safety Inspections
Florida’s milestone inspection explained for your building, further investigation when a report calls for it, and structural safety inspections outside a program cycle.
- When you need it
- The board is unsure which inspection the building owes, a report calls for further investigation, or there is a reason to look and no notice.
- What's included
- Applicability review · Structural inspection · Further investigation · Prioritized findings
- What you receive
- An inspection report with findings in order of priority and, for condos and co-ops, a summary the board can send to unit owners.
- Next step
- Tell us where the building is, how old and how tall it is, and what prompted the question.Request a Proposal: Milestone & Structural Safety Inspections →
04Existing buildings
Structural Assessments & Repair Design
What the building is actually doing today — deterioration assessed, capacity evaluated, repairs engineered so they can be bid and built.
- When you need it
- A report lists repairs, cracks or spalling have appeared, or you are buying or altering a building.
- What's included
- Field assessment · Deterioration mapping · Capacity evaluation · Repair specification
- What you receive
- An assessment report with the deterioration mapped and, when repairs are designed, drawings and specifications a contractor can price.
- Next step
- Start with photographs and any earlier report; we tell you whether a visit is needed.Request a Proposal: Structural Assessments & Repair Design →
New projects
You are building something.
For owners, developers, architects and contractors with a project in design or heading to permit.
05New projects
Reinforced Concrete Design
Foundations, columns, beams, slabs and shear walls designed as one load path — detailed for the field and issued permit-ready.
- When you need it
- A new building needs its structural set for permit, an architect needs the structure behind a design, or a contractor needs details that can be built.
- What's included
- Foundations · Columns & beams · Slabs · Shear walls · Reinforcement detailing
- What you receive
- Permit-ready structural drawings with their calculations, general notes and typical details.
- Next step
- Start with the architectural drawings, at whatever stage they are, and the site location.Request a Proposal: Reinforced Concrete Design →
06New projects
Structural Analysis & Foundations
Gravity and lateral analysis, wind and seismic demand, and the foundation system that carries all of it into the ground.
- When you need it
- Before you commit to a site or a concept, on a difficult lot, or when hurricane wind and lateral loads have to be resolved.
- What's included
- 3D modeling · Wind & seismic demand · Drift control · Deep foundations · Settlement checks
- What you receive
- The analysis results in a summary, the foundation design with its reactions, and the calculations behind both.
- Next step
- Start with the site and the concept; add the geotechnical report if there is one.Request a Proposal: Structural Analysis & Foundations →
07New projects
BIM Modeling & Coordination
Coordinated digital models that resolve conflicts before they reach the field and produce clearer structural deliverables.
- When you need it
- The team models in Revit, the owner or the contractor asks for a federated model and clash reports, or services and structure keep clashing on the drawings.
- What's included
- Structural modeling · Model federation · Clash detection · Issue tracking · Model-derived drawings
- What you receive
- The structural model, the clash and issue reports, and drawings and schedules taken from the model.
- Next step
- Tell us the software, the level of detail and the coordination calendar.Request a Proposal: BIM Modeling & Coordination →
08New projects
Peer Review & Compliance
An independent second read of the structural design — code compliance, load path, constructability and documentation quality.
- When you need it
- A lender or an insurer asks for an independent review, a set is about to be issued, or something in the structure worries you.
- What's included
- Drawing review · Calculation check · Load-path continuity · Constructability · Comment log
- What you receive
- A review report and a prioritized comment log, followed until every comment is closed.
- Next step
- Send the drawings and the calculations, and tell us what the review has to answer.Request a Proposal: Peer Review & Compliance →
What we design
Do we design your kind of building?
The same engineer and the same detailing standard, scaled to the building in front of us. If your project is not on this list, it is worth a conversation rather than an assumption.
New houses engineered from the footing up — foundations sized to the soil report, a frame that carries hurricane wind, and drawings a local builder can price and build.
Party walls, shared foundations and repeated bays — the structure resolved once and detailed so the repetition stays a saving instead of a risk.
Flat plates, shear-wall cores and cantilevered balconies — the system South Florida is built from, engineered as one continuous load path.
Mixed-use & commercial frames→
Long spans over ground-floor retail, transfer structure where the grid changes, and coordination with everyone whose services run through it.
Foundations on difficult sites→
Tight lots, poor bearing, high water table and neighbors close enough to matter — the substructure engineered against the geotechnical report, not around it.
Repairs to existing structures→
Balconies, facades, slabs and columns that have been in service for decades — condition documented, repairs engineered, and the paperwork the county asks for.
Photographs illustrate the kind of structure described; none shows a project by Tercero Tablada Civil and Structural Engineering Inc. What the firm takes on is described under Typical Engagements.
How we work
Five steps. You always know which one you are on.
The sequence is the same whether you are answering a county notice or permitting a new frame. What changes is the depth of step three.
Initial consultation
Your part Send the notice, or describe the building or the project, and share what you have — photos, drawings, prior reports.
You get A direct conversation with the engineer and a first read on what is needed.
Scope & proposal
Your part Review a written proposal that states scope, deliverables, exclusions and fee.
You get A document you can compare, question and approve. Nothing starts before it is agreed.
Evaluation or design
Your part Give access to the site, or answer the architect’s coordination questions as they come.
You get Inspection and findings for existing buildings; analysis, modeling and detailing for new ones — with questions raised as they come up, not saved for the end.
Delivery
Your part Review the report or the signed and sealed drawing set, and ask about anything that is unclear.
You get Documents written to be acted on: a board can read the findings, a contractor can build the details, a reviewer can follow the reasoning.
Follow-up
Your part Forward the reviewer’s comments, the contractor’s RFIs or the reinspection request.
You get Answers from the engineer who did the work — through permit comments, construction questions and, for existing buildings, reinspection and close-out.
Next step
A county notice in your hand, a building that worries you or a new project — describe it and attach what you have. A phone photo of the letter is enough. You hear back from the engineer, with questions or with a written proposal.
The proposal is free. We usually reply within two hours.
