Structural Review for Single-Family Residence

I am planning a single-family residential build in Orange County, FL (Wedgefield area). At this stage, I am pre-land, but I will shortly have my licensed house plans fully redrawn into clean CAD. I am looking for a limited, non-stamped structural feasibility / sanity review of the CAD plans only. This is not for permitting and not for final design.

The scope would include:

• High-level review of overall structural layout and load path
• Review of proposed 8-inch CMU exterior wall layout for general feasibility
• Identification of any obvious Florida-specific code issues (wind, spans, framing concepts, etc.)
• Flagging of items that could materially affect constructability or GC pricing
• General comments or redlines only (no calculations, no seal)

Final stamped structural engineering, foundation design, wind calculations, finished floor elevation, septic, and site-specific work will occur later after land purchase, survey, and soils report.

This initial review is intended solely to catch issues early and reduce redesign later.
