🚧 Our Comprehensive Engineering Services
Milestone Inspections (SB 4-D)

Under Florida Statute 553.899 (SB 4-D), all condominiums and co-op buildings that are three or more stories tall must undergo mandatory milestone inspections to evaluate the structural integrity of primary components such as load-bearing walls, columns, slabs, decks, and foundations. These inspections help prevent structural failures and ensure compliance with Florida Building Code regulations.

Our licensed engineers provide both:

Phase 1 Visual Inspections: A thorough visual safety assessment by experienced engineers or architects to identify signs of structural deterioration.

Phase 2 In-Depth Testing: If Phase 1 reveals any concerns, Phase 2 involves detailed non-destructive or destructive testing methods including core sampling, infrared thermography, and lab analysis.

Hurricane Damage Inspections

Florida’s coastal location exposes buildings to frequent hurricanes and tropical storms. Our rapid-response teams provide professional inspections for roof damage, foundation shifts, flooding effects, and structural weaknesses caused by storm events. We help you document damage accurately for insurance claims and recovery.
