About
the firm
Autie & Perdomo LLC is a construction and engineering group focused on one thing: the distribution system that carries power the last few miles.
The firm
Specialists,
not generalists
Plenty of firms will add distribution to a service list. We built the practice around it.
That focus shows up in small ways that matter on a job. Our designers know which framing a given utility actually uses, not just what the standard book shows. Our field technicians know which attachment measurements the loading analysis is going to be sensitive to, so they get captured the first time. Our engineers know which clearance a reviewer will question, and address it before the submittal goes out.
The firm operates as a Florida limited liability company and performs work statewide. Where a project calls for signed and sealed engineering, we deliver it through a Florida-licensed professional engineer of record.
A large share of our work is delivered as a subconsultant to national engineering and utility services firms, on distribution programs those firms hold with Florida utilities. That includes hardening and non-hardening work, designed to the utility's own construction standards and reviewed by the client firm before it reaches construction.
The person who scoped your project stays reachable when a question comes up in the field, and the same team carries a multi-year program from start to finish rather than handing it between desks.
How we work
Four commitments
These are the things we will not trade away for a faster delivery date.
The drawing has to be buildable
Constructibility is reviewed by people with field experience before anything is released. If a crew cannot execute it with the equipment they have, in the outage window they have, it is not done.
Documentation is part of the deliverable
Assumptions, code references and design basis are written down. When a regulator, an attacher or a new project manager asks why a structure was specified the way it was, the answer is in the file.
Safety governs the field
Field crews work to documented procedures for energized-line proximity, traffic control and site hazards. Data collection never justifies an unsafe position, and no schedule pressure changes that.
Bad news travels fast
If a route will not permit, a pole will not pass, or a date is going to slip, you hear it the day we know it. Surprises at handoff are the expensive kind.
Quality
Checked before
it leaves
Every design package goes through an independent review by an engineer or senior designer who did not produce it. The reviewer checks the design against the collected field data, the governing code, and the client's construction standards — in that order.
Field data is spot-verified against photographs before it drives an analysis. Where a measurement is questionable, we re-collect rather than assume. That costs a truck roll and saves a redesign.
After construction, returned redlines are reconciled to the released design and pushed back into the system of record, so the next project starts from a record that is actually true.
Compliance framework
The standards our work is measured against.
Our team
Engineers,
designers, field
More than 30 years of combined distribution experience, in three groups that work as one on one data set.
Engineering
Engineers setting the design basis and owning the code position on every project, working with a licensed professional engineer of record wherever a seal is required.
Design & drafting
Distribution designers producing staking sheets, work orders and construction prints in the client's drawing environment and to the client's standards.
Field services
Technicians collecting structures, spans, attachments and conditions, and supporting construction through as-built closeout.
