Local Engineering Context

Authority Having Jurisdiction
City of Fort Lauderdale Building Services Division / Broward County Building Division
Building Code
2023 Florida Building Code (7th Edition) with Broward County and City of Fort Lauderdale amendments
Energy Code
2023 FBC Energy Conservation (ASHRAE 90.1)
Local Market
Fort Lauderdale's marine industry (superyacht construction and service, Port Everglades), healthcare market (Broward Health, Memorial Health), and booming multifamily and hospitality development in Broward County create significant structural engineering demand.
Climate & Engineering Conditions
Zone 1A hot-humid; Broward County is fully within the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — structural design must comply with Florida's highest wind design provisions; coastal proximity requires impact-resistant envelope design and corrosion-resistant materials.
