Orlando, FL
Engineering for Orlando's built environment.
Design Works Engineering's Orlando office delivers integrated structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering for clients building across Central Florida. We're licensed Professional Engineers under the Florida Board of Professional Engineers (FBPE), fluent in the Florida Building Code and the City of Orlando's permitting process, and embedded in the local construction community — so your project is engineered by people who know the ground it sits on.
What We Do in Orlando
From early concept through occupancy, our Orlando team integrates every discipline your project needs — coordinated under one roof, signed and sealed by Florida P.E.-licensed engineers.
Structural Engineering
From wood-frame to high-rise concrete, our structural team designs efficient, code-compliant frames for Central Florida's full range of building types — including hurricane wind loads and humid-climate detailing required by the FBC. We work directly with architects and contractors from massing through shop drawings, sealed under FBPE.
Mechanical Engineering
HVAC, plumbing, and process system design tuned to Central Florida's humid subtropical climate. Our Orlando mechanical engineers size cooling, dehumidification, ventilation, and domestic water systems for long hot summers, mild winters, and the energy-code requirements of the FBC Energy Conservation chapter.
Electrical Engineering
Power distribution, life safety, and low-voltage systems for commercial, hospitality, and multi-family projects across Central Florida. NEC- and Florida-amendment-fluent — including FBC requirements for hurricane resiliency.
Civil Engineering
Site grading, servicing, stormwater management, and onsite utility design for Orlando developments. We coordinate with City of Orlando and Orange County servicing standards and OUC / Duke Energy / FPL utility requirements so site approvals don't stall the project.
Energy Modelling
FBC Energy Conservation, ASHRAE 90.1, and IECC-compliant whole-building energy modelling handled in-house. We use industry-standard tools to demonstrate code compliance, optimize envelope performance for hot-humid climates, and support LEED submittals for Orlando projects.
Building Assessment Reports
Reserve fund studies, due-diligence inspections, and condition assessments for Orlando-area buildings. Backed by our purpose-built BAR platform for consistent, defensible reporting that lenders, insurers, and HOA boards accept.
Fire Protection
Sprinkler, standpipe, and special-hazard system design coordinated with our mechanical drawings. We engage Orlando Fire Department early to keep code interpretations clean and inspections on schedule.
Lighting Design
Architectural and exterior lighting that meets ASHRAE 90.1 and NECB power-density limits while supporting the architect's intent. Photometrics, control sequences, and emergency lighting coordinated directly with the electrical set.
Sustainable Design
LEED, WELL, BOMA BEST, and Zero Energy strategy integrated from concept. Our sustainability advisors help Orlando owners — including hospitality and theme-park-adjacent projects — hit certification targets without expensive late-stage redesigns.
Modular Design
Engineering for off-site and modular construction. We coordinate structural connections, MEP rough-ins, and transport loading so modules arrive ready to set on the Orlando site without surprises.
Land Development
From entitlement and platting through detailed servicing design — our land development team navigates City of Orlando and Orange County planning, environmental, and engineering review so your site moves through the approvals queue.
Inspections
Construction-phase site inspections, field reviews, and commissioning observations. Our Orlando-based engineers and technologists are on site through key milestones — not just at substantial completion.
Surveying & Geomatics
Legal, topographic, and construction surveying through our affiliated geomatics group. Orlando projects get accurate site data tied to Florida's State Plane Coordinate System — no surprises at servicing connection.
Rendering & Drafting
In-house 3D visualization and BIM drafting support. From early massing renderings used in DP applications to fully coordinated Revit models, we keep visualization and documentation under one roof.
