Fire & Water Restoration Engineering in South Florida
When your restoration project is waiting on engineering, every day of delay costs money. Hoyos Engineering provides fast, reliable structural assessments and sealed engineering reports for fire and water damage projects — so your restoration timeline never stalls because of us.
Who This Is For
Restoration Companies
You need a structural engineering partner who answers the phone, shows up fast, and delivers reports that your insurance adjusters accept without pushback. We are built for your workflow.
Insurance Adjusters & Claims Professionals
You need objective, thoroughly documented structural assessments that support the claims process. Our reports provide the engineering detail your documentation requires.
Property Owners
Your home or building was damaged by fire, water, or storm — and you need to understand the structural impact before restoration begins. We provide clear, licensed assessments so you know exactly what you are dealing with.
Why Speed Matters in Restoration Engineering
A house fire happens every few minutes in the United States. Water damage claims are among the most common in the insurance industry. Behind every one of those events is a property owner who needs their building restored — and a restoration company that cannot move forward without a structural engineering report.
Your client is displaced. The insurance adjuster is waiting on documentation. Your crew is ready to work. The last thing you need is an engineer who takes weeks to return a phone call.
Restoration engineering is not the same as standard structural design. The timelines are compressed, the documentation requirements are specific to insurance, and the work often begins before the damage is fully assessed. You need an engineer who understands this workflow — and operates inside it, not alongside it.
Our Restoration Engineering Process
Step 1: You Call, We Respond
Contact us as soon as you receive the job. We respond within 24 hours and schedule the on-site assessment based on your project urgency.
Step 2: On-Site Structural Assessment
Our engineer visits the property to evaluate structural damage — load-bearing elements, foundations, roof systems, walls, and any compromised components. We document everything with detailed notes and photography.
Step 3: Sealed Engineering Report
You receive a sealed structural assessment report that meets insurance documentation standards. The report details the extent of structural damage, identifies components requiring repair or replacement, and provides the engineering basis for your scope of work.
Step 4: Reconstruction Design (If Needed)
If the project requires structural reconstruction, we provide sealed engineering drawings and specifications for the rebuild — including foundations, framing, connections, and any code-required upgrades to meet current Florida Building Code standards.
