We provide comprehensive Building Safety and Milestone Inspections to ensure your association meets legal obligations while safeguarding the long-term structural and electrical integrity of the property.
Our Building Safety / Milestone Inspection service ensures:
✔ Compliance with Florida state and local laws
✔ An engineering assessment of required system components
✔ Identification of deferred maintenance
✔ Recommendation of necessary repair or replacement
✔ Comprehensive final reports required for legal record
***These inspections DO NOT require buildings to be brought to current building code standards.
Milestone Inspections are minimum inspections required at the state level.
Florida Statutes 553.899 (Construction Standards), 718.112 (Condominiums), and 719.106 (Cooperatives) require associations to conduct a Milestone Inspection at least every ten years for buildings with three or more stories. The inspection identifies deferred maintenance, and recommends necessary repairs and replacements. This requires a detailed visual inspection of the Structural Systems.
Structural Systems
• Roof
• Load-bearing walls
• Foundation
• Balconies
Building Safety Inspections are required in counties that supersede the state level minimum inspection requirements. These are more thorough Milestone Inspections that also require an electrical integrity inspection.
The electrical integrity inspection evaluates the condition and performance of electrical systems to ensure safe occupancy.
Electrical Systems
• Service Entrances and Feeders
• Electrical Panels and Equipment
• Overcurrent Protection Devices
• Wiring Methods
• Grounding Systems
• Emergency Systems
Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties have created Building Safety Inspection Programs (BSIP). The inspection requirements of each county are slightly different.
