FAQs
Does Torch hold architect-of-record capability for Tampa projects?
Yes. Jason Mitchell holds Florida architectural licensure, which covers Hillsborough County and all City of Tampa permit jurisdictions. Torch can serve as architect-of-record for commercial, institutional, and mixed-use projects throughout the Tampa Bay area, stamping both architectural and engineering documents from a single firm.
How does Torch coordinate architecture and engineering for Tampa design-build projects?
