EMA Structural Engineers provides structural engineering for property owners and associations in Tampa, Hillsborough County and surrounding Tampa Bay communities. An engineer reviews the reported issue and the building context, including moisture intrusion, storms, and settlement where relevant.
We assess existing buildings for cracks, settlement, corrosion, deflection, and other signs of distress. An engagement begins with the building history and the specific question you need answered. A licensed engineer then conducts a visual site assessment and identifies where records review, testing, or more detailed analysis is warranted.
Owners, property managers, associations, and design teams can request a structural assessment before repairs, after visible damage, or while planning alterations. We document observed conditions, explain their likely structural significance within the limits of the inspection, and recommend next steps where needed.
The written scope defines accessible areas, records available, reporting format, and whether repair design or follow-up testing is included. A visual assessment does not expose concealed construction or certify conditions that cannot be observed.
Tell us the property location, building type, observed condition, available plans or notices, and desired timeframe. We will define the proposed work and fee before an inspection is scheduled. Call (561) 372-6102 or email info@EMAengineers.com.
The scope depends on the property, concerns, available records, access, and agreed assignment.
Provide the property address, photographs, plans, prior reports, repair records, and a description of the concerns.
Arrange safe access to relevant areas and identify known damage, leaks, movement, and previous repairs.
Not automatically. Repair design, calculations, and permit drawings may require a separate engineering scope.
The responsible professional may recommend additional observations, testing, selective openings, or engineering analysis.
Next steps depend on the observed conditions, intended use of the report, applicable requirements, and engineering findings.
Provide the Orlando property address and requested service scope, then confirm availability and scheduling directly.
