Estimating Florida — Coastal & Hurricane-Rated Estimations
The Problem & Bottlenecks
System Bottlenecks & Technical Friction
Constructing in Florida requires compliance with the most stringent hurricane building codes in the United States. Out-of-state and generic estimating services failed to account for impact-rated glazing, tie-down hardware, and coastal foundation pilings, exposing contractors to severe bid under-estimations.
Our Engineering Approach
Architecture Design & Implementation
We engineered a Florida-dedicated estimating platform built specifically for Florida Building Code (FBC) compliance. Integrated automated High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) material checklists, impact window/door schedules, and coastal corrosion-resistant hardware allowances.
