At Strut Engineering & Investment, Inc., we’re proud to support the structural integrity of homes and buildings across Orlando, FL and its surrounding communities. Known for its rapid development, diverse architecture, and challenging soil conditions, Greater Orlando demands engineering solutions that are both technically sound and locally informed. Our team works with homeowners, contractors, and real estate professionals across a wide range of neighborhoods and building types.
We provide structural engineering services throughout the Orlando metro, including:
Winter Park – With its mix of historic homes and new custom builds, Winter Park projects often involve aging structures and high-end architectural design that call for careful planning.
Windermere – Nestled among lakes and estate-style homes, Windermere features larger custom residences that often require thoughtful structural considerations due to size and site conditions.
Lake Nona – A fast-growing innovation hub with modern residential and commercial developments. Construction here reflects contemporary design and up-to-date building standards.
Dr. Phillips – A well-established area known for its diverse home styles and steady growth. Projects here often include home improvements that enhance existing structures.
Celebration – Designed with a traditional town aesthetic and strict community guidelines, Celebration emphasizes seamless integration of new construction within its established look and feel.
We also serve clients in Maitland, Baldwin Park, Heathrow, Oviedo (East Side), and Bay Hill — each with their own development trends, foundation requirements, and municipal regulations. Whether you’re reinforcing a foundation in Heathrow or preparing new construction in Lake Nona, we bring precision and practical experience to every job.
Greater Orlando’s structural needs vary by soil type, age of construction, and zoning codes that differ between municipalities. Our team’s familiarity with Central Florida’s building conditions — from clay-heavy soils in Oviedo to high water tables near Baldwin Park — helps us design smarter, more efficient structures. We also understand the importance of navigating local permitting processes and wind load requirements, particularly in planned communities like Celebration or waterfront areas like Bay Hill. This localized approach helps reduce risk and supports better long-term performance for both residential and light commercial structures.
Orlando is more than a tourist destination — it’s a growing, thriving region with a wide range of residential neighborhoods and commercial opportunities. At Strut Engineering & Investment, Inc., we’re honored to play a role in that growth by delivering dependable structural engineering services to support everything from remodels in Winter Park to new builds in Lake Nona. Whether you're a homeowner planning renovations or a builder looking for a responsive engineering partner, we’re here to help build a stronger future for Central Florida.
Strut E&I provides the full range of structural engineering services in Orlando: structural design for new construction, rehabilitation and building modification, forensic engineering, expert witness and litigation support, property condition assessments, and solar PV structural engineering.
For homeowners, our two most requested residential services are second-story addition engineering and load-bearing wall removal — both of which require sealed drawings before a permit will be issued. Every project is assigned a dedicated licensed structural engineer.
Central Florida sits on karst limestone, where groundwater dissolves the rock and creates voids. That makes sinkhole and subsidence activity a genuine consideration in this region in a way it is not in most of the country. When we see foundation distress in Central Florida, ruling subsidence in or out is part of the investigation rather than an afterthought.
Yes. Orlando is inland, so design wind speeds are lower than on the coast, but the Florida Building Code still governs and wind loading still has to be designed for. Inland does not mean exempt.
Florida's milestone inspection requirement applies to condominium and cooperative buildings of three stories or more statewide, on an age-based schedule. Confirm your building's specific obligation with the local authority, and we can perform the inspection.
Yes — second-story additions, wall removals, and structural assessments for homeowners, all delivered with permit-ready sealed drawings.
