Restaurant Architect & Engineer — Miami, Florida

Designda Inc. (AR102594) and Pineland Engineering (PE 39202) design restaurants in Miami — HVHZ-compliant architecture, structural engineering, MEP engineering, and Florida Department of Health drawings.

Miami is one of the most competitive restaurant markets in the United States, with new concepts opening in Brickell, Wynwood, the Design District, South Beach, Coral Gables, and throughout Miami-Dade County. Designda Inc. — operating as Pineland Engineering — designs restaurants in Miami and throughout South Florida, providing architecture, structural engineering, and MEP engineering that meets the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) requirements of Miami-Dade County — the most stringent wind and impact standards in the continental United States.

HVHZ Requirements for Miami Restaurant Construction

Miami-Dade County is in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), which imposes additional requirements beyond the standard Florida Building Code. All products used in HVHZ construction — windows, doors, roofing, cladding — must have Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance (NOA) or Florida Product Approval. Our drawings specify HVHZ-compliant products and details, and our structural engineer designs for the HVHZ wind loads required by the Florida Building Code.

Restaurant Permitting in Miami-Dade County

Miami-Dade County restaurant projects require permits from Miami-Dade Building and Neighborhood Compliance (or the applicable municipal building department) and the Florida Department of Health. We submit to both agencies and track both reviews. Our drawings are produced to satisfy Miami-Dade's HVHZ requirements and the Florida Food Safety Code simultaneously.
