The Importance of Engineering and Permitting in Screen Enclosure Construction

When it comes to building a screen enclosure, it's not just about mesh and framing — it's about structure, safety, and long-term performance. That’s why engineering and permitting are not optional — they’re essential.

At Empire Construction & Contracting, we build enclosures that are not only beautiful, but also engineered to last. From the very beginning, we make sure your structure is designed to handle wind, weather, and inspection — with zero shortcuts.

✅ Why Engineering Matters

Engineering Plans

These aren't just technicalities — they're your structure’s blueprint for safety. We include full structural plans on every project to ensure your enclosure won’t twist, sag, or collapse under stress. It’s the foundation of a screen room that’s built to last.

Wind Load Calculations

Florida and Georgia are no strangers to storms. That’s why we calculate wind loads based on your exact location and exposure. Whether you're inland or along the coast, we design your enclosure to meet — or exceed — local wind zone requirements.

📝 Permitting Done Right

Permit Management from Start to Finish

Permits can feel like a headache — but not when you work with Empire. We handle all paperwork, plan submittals, revisions, and inspections. Our team keeps your project moving and keeps you informed every step of the way.

You’ll never be left wondering, “Where’s my permit?” We’ve got it covered.

⚠️ What Happens If You Skip Permits?

Some installers skip permits to save time or money — but that shortcut can cost you big.

• 🛑 Insurance may deny claims if the enclosure isn’t permitted or inspected.
  

• 🛑 You could be liable for damages or injuries.
  

• 🛑 Future resale may be delayed or blocked due to unpermitted structures.
  

At Empire, we follow the rules so you’re protected — today and in the future.

🏗️ Built Right. Approved Right. Protected for Life.

Engineering and permitting aren’t extras — they’re part of what makes your screen enclosure safe, legal, and long-lasting. With Empire, you’re not getting a quick install — you’re getting a code-compliant, storm-rated structure you can count on.
