Engineering and project questions.

Send the project location, a short description, the current stage, and any plans or written comments you have. Photographs or specialist reports help where they explain the request.

Yes. Tell us about the project and we will review what you have, talk through the engineering and approvals it likely involves, and outline the next steps. There is no charge for the consultation, and you decide afterward whether to move forward.

No. Describe what you are planning or the issue you need addressed. We can review the information and define the scope.

Residential, commercial, and site projects: renovations and additions, new buildings, commercial interiors, screen enclosures, canopies, site and pavement improvements, and inspection or assessment assignments.

Yes. The engagement should identify the owner, contractor, design professionals, and the responsibilities Grey Load will take on.

The proposal reflects the deliverables, project conditions, inputs, coordination, and review work included. Different projects can need different scopes even when the project type is similar.

Grey Load is based in Tampa Bay and takes on projects in other parts of Florida. Share the project location so we can confirm availability and the services we can support there.

Submission responsibilities depend on the agreement and the project requirements. We identify whether application coordination is included before work proceeds.

Your proposal identifies the technical responses or coordination included, any limits on revisions, and the conditions that may require additional services.

Tell the project team before revisions proceed. Changes can affect several disciplines and may require a revised scope or schedule.

Not if it was prepared only for planning or feasibility. The next design and permit stages have to be identified before plans are used for construction.

Projects may involve Grey Load’s core team and outside technical consultants. Responsibilities are defined for each assignment.

Photos help explain the issue, but they may not show dimensions, concealed conditions, or connection details. Additional information or a site review may be needed.

Only if that design is part of the agreed scope. An assessment and a repair or new support design can be separate assignments.

Yes, once the site is safe to enter. An assessment documents the damage and what needs attention, and repair details or drawings for permit can follow as a separate scope. In a FEMA flood zone, the local floodplain administrator decides whether the 50% substantial damage rule applies, and we can help you prepare for that review.

Send the records first: the notice or written request, the permit number if there is one, photographs, and any plans. We review the situation and define a project-specific assessment or documentation scope.

No single document fits every case. The assessment and documentation required depend on the conditions, the available evidence, and the specific request.

Send the written review comment, current plans, available drainage reports and model files, and related site information. We will identify any further inputs the scope needs.

Only when the proposal includes them. Those services are identified separately from the pavement improvements themselves.

Florida law (Section 553.791, Florida Statutes) allows a property owner or contractor to use a qualified private provider for plan review and inspection services. The local building department keeps its role: it accepts the required submissions, issues the permit and the certificate of occupancy or completion, and can audit the work. Tell us the project location and stage so we can confirm what applies.

Provide the project address, permit number, requested inspection, site contact, and preferred date. The team may ask for approved plans, photographs, or other records.

No permit timeline is guaranteed. Project completeness, review requirements, corrections, and the authority’s process all affect the schedule.

No. The authority’s acceptance and the final permit status have to be confirmed separately.

No. The schedule has to account for the scope, the required inputs, and availability. A project-specific target is set once those are understood.

They are separate services unless your proposal includes both. Ask for the scope to identify each component.
