Structures BBD’s structural engineers are the team of choice for many Federal and State agencies, as well as numerous municipalities, schools, and churches throughout Florida and the USA, for their new construction, renovation, and addition projects. We specialize in complying with Federal, State, and Public Facilities standards and regulations, providing innovative, context-sensitive designs that fit both urban and rural communities.

(image: A BBD engineer reviewing and sealing drawings) 01 ## What’s included Our structural engineering covers framing and connections from concept to sealed plans: - Truss, cold-formed steel (CFS), and wood framing - Framing systems for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings - Engineered connections for wood-to-steel, CFS-to-heavy-steel, and combinations - Steel decks for roof and floor applications - Bracing, diaphragms, and complete framing plans - New construction, renovation, additions, and inspections - Truss & CFS framing - Wood framing - Engineered connections - Steel roof & floor decks - Bracing & diaphragms - Sealed framing plans 02 ## Why BBD Engineering Structural design rarely stands alone. Because we keep every engineering service under one roof, your structural work stays aligned with the civil, [mechanical](https://bbdengineering.com/services/mechanical-engineering/), and [electrical design](https://bbdengineering.com/services/electrical-engineering/) on the project, which reduces conflicts during permitting and construction. See our related civil and [drafting and design](https://bbdengineering.com/services/drafting-and-design/) services. ### Licensed Professional Engineers Every set of drawings is prepared and sealed by a licensed PE and designed to the codes that apply to your project. ### One Coordinated Team When your project crosses engineering services, the same team handles all of it, so nothing falls through the gaps. ### Clear Quotes and Timelines We scope and quote each project up front, with honest timelines and responsive communication throughout. ### Licensed in the Lower 48 States Our professional engineers are licensed in all the lower 48 states and are familiar with each state's unique rules and regulations.

Our engineers confirm the scope with you before anything is quoted. 03 ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you design in both wood and cold-formed steel? Yes. We design light-frame wood, cold-formed steel, and hybrid systems, including the connections between wood, CFS, and heavy steel. ### Can you design the connections for my framing? Yes. We provide engineered connection designs for wood-to-steel, CFS-to-heavy-steel, and any combination, plus steel decks for roof and floor applications. ### What types of clients do you work with? We work with federal and state agencies, municipalities, schools, and churches, as well as private clients, on new construction, renovation, and additions. ### Are your engineers licensed in my state? Our professional engineers are licensed in all the lower 48 states and are familiar with each state’s unique rules and regulations. ### Related engineering services Projects that need structural engineering often also need [geotechnical engineering](https://bbdengineering.com/services/geotechnical-engineering/), [agricultural engineering](https://bbdengineering.com/services/agricultural-engineering/) and drafting & design.
