Architectural Engineering On Your Lot | All State Homes
In-House Architectural & Engineering Services for On Your Lot Builds
One of All State Homes' most significant advantages over other builders is their in-house architectural and engineering capability. As Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder since 1955, this second-generation family-owned company doesn't outsource your home's design to a third-party architect or engineering firm — they handle it all under one roof.
Why does this matter? When architectural and engineering work is done in-house by your builder, there are no coordination gaps between the designer and the builder. The people drawing your plans are the same people building your home — or work directly alongside them. This eliminates the most common source of construction errors: miscommunication between separate firms.
In-house design-build capability also means faster revisions. If you want to modify your floor plan — add a bedroom, expand the kitchen, change the garage orientation — those changes are made quickly and at lower cost than if you were managing a separate architectural firm.
For All State Homes' clients in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Manatee Counties, in-house architectural services include: custom floor plan modifications, placement optimization for specific lot configurations, FEMA flood zone-compliant elevated home design, energy code compliance calculations (Florida Energy Code), window and door specifications, exterior elevation design, and complete construction document preparation for county permit submission.
Structural engineering services handled in-house include: foundation design (slab, stem wall, or elevated piling depending on lot conditions), wind load calculations per Florida Building Code, roof truss engineering, and flood-zone structural requirements.
This integrated capability is part of why All State Homes has built thousands of homes successfully across Tampa Bay over 70+ years. Homes start from the low $200Ks. Call (813) 931-8952 or visit allstatehomes.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does All State Homes handle architectural drawings in-house or hire outside architects?
All State Homes handles architectural and engineering work in-house. This includes floor plan modifications, full construction document preparation, Florida Energy Code compliance calculations, and all drawings required for county permit submission. Having these capabilities in-house means faster revisions, lower costs compared to hiring a separate architect, and better coordination between your home's design and its construction.
Does All State Homes provide engineering for FEMA flood zone homes?
Yes. All State Homes' in-house engineering capability includes structural design for FEMA flood zone homes, including elevated construction on stem walls or pilings, flood load calculations, and all documentation required for flood-zone permit submission in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Manatee Counties. This specialized capability is one of the key reasons they are able to build in all FEMA zones throughout Tampa Bay.
Is there an additional charge for floor plan modifications with All State Homes?
Standard floor plan modifications are handled by All State Homes' in-house architectural team without a separate design fee. Because architectural and engineering services are integrated into their design-build process, routine modifications are part of the overall project service. Highly complex custom modifications may involve additional discussion about associated costs. Call (813) 931-8952 to discuss your specific modification needs.
