Full Residential Design in South Florida — Architecture, Structural & MEPs

Most homeowners hire an architect, then a structural engineer, then an MEP consultant — three firms, three contracts, three timelines, and nobody coordinating the whole picture. Hoyos Engineering delivers architecture, structural engineering, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing design under one roof. One team. One point of contact. One permit-ready plan set.

Who This Is For

  • Homeowners building a new custom home who want a simpler, faster design process

  • Homeowners planning major additions or renovations that require all three disciplines

  • Small residential developers who want integrated design without managing multiple firms

  • Property owners converting or renovating a property and need complete plan sets

This service is for residential projects. For commercial structural design, see our Structural Design or Commercial Buildout pages.

Why One Firm for Everything Makes a Difference

When your architect designs a room layout and your structural engineer says it cannot be built that way, your project stalls. When the MEP consultant needs structural coordination and nobody is managing the conversation, you get change orders.

These are not hypothetical problems. They happen on residential projects every day — and they cost you time, money, and frustration.

An integrated design approach eliminates these problems before they start. When the same firm handles architecture, structural, and MEPs, every discipline is coordinated from day one. Conflicts are resolved on paper, not on the job site. Permitting moves faster because the package is complete and internally consistent.

Our Residential Design Process

Step 1: Share Your Vision

Tell us what you want to build — a new custom home, an addition, a major renovation. Share sketches, inspiration photos, or a simple description. We take it from there.

Step 2: Integrated Design Development

Our team develops your architectural layout, structural system, and MEP design simultaneously — not sequentially. This means faster timelines and zero finger-pointing between disciplines.

Step 3: Complete Permit-Ready Plans

You receive a single, coordinated plan set that includes architectural drawings, structural engineering, and MEP designs — all sealed and ready for permit submission.

Step 4: Permit Coordination

We handle submission to your local building department and respond to any comments or requests for information. You do not have to chase three firms for three responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answer by our experts

Answers to the Most Common Questions For Property Owners, Contractors, and Condo Boards

Is it really cheaper to use one firm for all three disciplines?

In most cases, yes. You eliminate the coordination overhead, reduce the risk of design conflicts that cause change orders, and shorten the overall design timeline. Even when the upfront cost is comparable, the time savings and reduced rework typically result in lower total project costs.

Can you work with an architect I have already hired?

Yes. If you already have an architect on the project, we can provide structural engineering and MEP design as standalone services and coordinate directly with your architect.

How long does a full residential design take?

Typical timelines range from four to eight weeks depending on project size and complexity. Because all disciplines are developed simultaneously, the total timeline is often shorter than hiring three separate firms.

Do you design for new construction only, or also additions?

Both. We handle new custom homes, room additions, second-story additions, garage conversions, and major renovations — anything that requires integrated architectural, structural, and MEP design.

Do your plans meet HVHZ requirements?

Yes. All structural and MEP design for projects in Miami-Dade and Broward County is engineered to comply with High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements.
