Structural concrete isn’t flatwork. A reinforced beam, a load-bearing column, or an elevated structural slab must perform to the engineer’s specification exactly — and the contractor placing it must hold the license to accept that responsibility.
We are a licensed structural concrete contractor operating under CGC062491 across Southwest Florida. We place structural concrete from engineer-stamped drawings, pull permits for structural scopes, and coordinate directly with the structural engineer of record when the project requires it. We serve commercial GCs, developers, and owners across Southwest Florida.
Call (239) 288-3378 for a structural estimate with scope, mix design, and pour sequence.
Reinforced structural slabs — elevated or ground-level slabs designed to carry load beyond standard flatwork, with reinforcement, mix design, and pour sequencing per engineer-stamped drawings.
Beams & columns — cast-in-place concrete beams and columns for commercial and multi-story buildings; form setup, rebar-cage placement, and pour sequenced to the drawing package.
Grade beams & tie beams — reinforced beams at or near grade that connect foundation piers, tie CBS walls at the top course, and distribute load to the footing system.
Bond beams — horizontal reinforced beams poured within a CBS block wall’s courses; required by Florida Building Code in CBS construction. (block & beam).
Elevated structural slabs — second-floor and elevated pours for multi-story construction, coordinated with the shoring plan, the engineer’s approved pour sequence, and pump access.
CBS structural shell pours — we coordinate with masonry subs where columns, tie beams, and bond beams are part of the masonry structural system. (foundations & slabs).
We place structural concrete from engineer-stamped drawings only, and we flag drawing conflicts before mobilization. What we self-perform versus coordinate is named in the estimate — before contract, not on pour day.
Structural concrete carries load — there is no margin for a missed rebar schedule or a wrong mix. Southwest Structural places to the engineer’s spec, holds any required permit under CGC062491, and stays on the job to sign-off.
From the footings up, we self-perform the structural concrete commercial projects depend on — placed to the engineer’s stamped drawings and the inspections that come with them.
Bar size, spacing, lap lengths, and hook requirements. A rebar schedule that isn’t followed is a structural defect, not a cosmetic one.
Minimum PSI, water-cement ratio, aggregate size, and admixtures for the exposure class.
Which elements pour first, which must cure before adjacent pours proceed, and where construction joints are allowed.
For elevated structural slabs, the formwork and shoring plan must be approved and in place before the pour.
The building department inspects rebar placement and formwork before concrete is placed. We coordinate these inspections and are present.
Florida Building Code wind-speed maps govern structural design. Coastal Lee County and Collier County carry stringent requirements; our pours follow the county-specific FBC spec.
Structural concrete in marine zones needs increased rebar cover and a low-permeability mix. An element that corrodes from within isn’t repairable — it’s replaceable.
Elevated formwork and shoring on high-water-table sites need extra care so shoring doesn’t move or settle during the pour.
Structural elements require inspection before placement and a structural final after cure. A sub without a license can’t hold the permit; a CGC-licensed contractor manages the sequence.
On structural scopes, Florida Building Code makes the contractor responsible for the work meeting the permit drawings and passing inspection. We read the drawing set, flag conflicts before mobilization, and resolve any field condition that doesn’t match the drawing at the planning table — not during the pour.
Our CGC062491 license means we hold the permit, the inspection is in our name, and the structural work is our responsibility from drawings to sign-off — not handed back to the GC.
We handle reinforced slabs, beams, columns, grade beams, bond beams, tie beams, elevated structural pours, and CBS structural shell pours across Southwest Florida. If you have a structural scope not listed here, send us the drawings and we’ll tell you whether it’s in our menu.
Yes. We require engineer-stamped structural drawings for structural scopes. We review drawings before mobilization, flag conflicts, and reach out to the structural engineer directly when questions arise before the pour.
Yes, for second-floor elevated slabs and structural pours that fall within our scope and the project’s permit requirements. Send the drawings so we can review the pour sequence, shoring plan, and schedule.
We take structural concrete scopes across the full Tampa-to-Naples corridor — Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Sarasota, Bonita Springs, and surrounding Southwest Florida markets.
Send the structural drawings and we’ll review the pour sequence, the shoring plan, and the schedule before we quote. The scope comes back in writing — reinforcement, mix design, and a target pour date — so nothing is a surprise after the engineer signs off.
