Design & Permit
This phase advances site-specific flood risk into engineered, code-compliant designs that support permitting approval and disciplined construction execution.
Disciplined Design.
Reliable Approvals.
At FloodReady, we understand that owners and operators require predictability and control during the design and permitting phase. We coordinate engineering, code requirements, and constructability considerations to produce compliant documentation that supports efficient approvals and disciplined project execution.
Scope Of Work
Engineering Coordination
We coordinate with licensed engineers to establish design criteria, performance objectives, and technical requirements aligned with site conditions, flood exposure, and operational priorities.
System Selection
Based on engineering input and site constraints, we evaluate and select flood-protection systems that meet applicable performance standards, deployment requirements, and long-term operational needs.
Design Documentation
We assemble and coordinate the preparation of drawings, specifications, calculations, and supporting technical documentation required for permitting, procurement, and installation.
Permitting Services
We handle all the permitting process, including submissions, agency coordination, responses to review comments, and revisions required to obtain approvals from local jurisdictions.
Code and Compliance
Designs are reviewed for compliance with applicable FEMA, NFIP, and local building code requirements, as well as relevant testing and certification standards that support insurability and post-event review.
Constructability Planning
Design decisions are evaluated for constructability, access, sequencing, deployment logistics, and long-term operability to ensure systems can be installed, used, and maintained as intended.

Engineering-Led Approach
Throughout this phase, we define site conditions, exposure drivers, and performance criteria while outlining preliminary scope, schedule, and budget parameters. Clients receive practical guidance on viable protection strategies and permitting pathways before advancing to formal design.
