Why We’re Here
Recon Response Engineering LLC helps building owners, government organizations, and attorneys evaluate a building’s structural components and exterior envelope. From the roof to the foundation-walls, windows, and waterproofing, we can help.
Our experience working on structural collapse rescue teams grounds our practical recommendations in actual construction performance – not wish lists or impractical pipe dreams.

What We Do
Recon Response is a Florida-based consulting engineering firm, specializing in the evaluation and repair of existing building structures. Our services include:
Existing condition surveys
Determining the needs for your specific building starts with a visual inspection, sometimes paired with destructive investigation or non-destructive testing. We take the time to examine the structure holistically, starting from the roof and working down to the ground.
Sometimes clients hire us to only examine one specific issue or to perform a Milestone Inspection, but often when we perform a a global analysis we see that the problem actually has a very different cause than first assumed.
Structural design & construction administration
Not every project requires engineer oversight. It depends on the complexity of the job and the expectations of quality assurance from the client. our motto is “Trust, but verify.”
If the Contractor requires a babysitter then we really need to find a different contractor. But if the Owner wants us to facilitate the project by checking in on the work, clarifying the scope of the job where necessary, found on the job site, then we’ll be available.
Expert witness consultation
Despite everyone’s best efforts, sometimes things go sideways on a construction project. Or an Owner may have expected one thing but ended up getting another.
Litigation is a painful process, consuming time, energy, and money on both sides. As a plaintiff or defendant, our goal is to help you settle the case so you can move on with your life.
Production of construction plans & specifications
Once we know what the problem is and how to solve it, that’s only half of the solution. The important part is to distill our engineering directives into as compact and reader-friendly format as possible.
This allows all stakeholders – from the Owner, to the Contractor, to the local building department to understand what is going to happen and why.
