The Florida Building Safety Act

A one size fits all mandate is not a tailored fit for your association. Allow us to apply our experience, knowledge and creativity to your compliance process.

DOES THIS IMPACT YOU?

Florida has implemented a statewide program for inspecting structures in condo and cooperative associations.

Our team is here to support and navigate you through the recently established Florida Milestone inspection procedure. Under the new legislation, if you oversee a condominium falling within the specified criteria, you are mandated to carry out a phase one milestone inspection within a brief timeframe.

Three Stories Or Taller
Built Before 1992
Within Three Miles of The Coast, Built Before 1997

The timeframe for conducting the essential phase one inspection is restricted, yet the procedure itself is time-consuming. Our objective is to streamline, expedite, and simplify this process, ensuring your property achieves compliance with as much ease and efficiency as possible.

Milestone Inspections

A “Milestone inspection” is a structural inspection of a building, including an inspection of load-bearing walls and the primary structural members and primary structural systems as those terms are defined in s. 627.706, by a licensed architect or engineer authorized to practice in this state for the purposes of attesting to the life safety and adequacy of the structural components of the building and, to the extent reasonably possible, determining the general structural condition of the building as it affects the safety of such building, including a determination of any necessary maintenance, repair, or replacement of any structural component of the buildi

Phase One

For phase one of the milestone inspection, a licensed architect or engineer authorized to practice in this state shall perform a visual examination of habitable and nonhabitable areas of a building, including the major structural components of a building, and provide a qualitative assessment of the structural conditions of the building.

Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS)

A “Structural Integrity Reserve Study” (SIRS) is a study of the reserve funds required for future major repairs and replacement of the common areas based on a visual inspection of the common areas. A structural integrity reserve study may be performed by any person qualified to perform such study.

Phase Two

A phase two of the milestone inspection must be performed if any substantial structural deterioration is identified during phase one. A phase two inspection may involve destructive or nondestructive testing at the inspector’s direction. The inspection may be as extensive or as limited as necessary to fully assess areas of structural distress in order to confirm that the building is structurally sound and safe for its intended use and to recommend a program for fully assessing and repairing distressed and damaged portions of the building.

John Minor represented us in a lawsuit as an appraiser against an insurance company. John was a fair and reasonable appraiser who was diligent in the pursuit of our claim, brought a 3 signature award and did not rest until the proper result was achieved while retaining the respect of the whole panel. An outstanding job!!

Within hours of our call, an experienced team of professionals started on a complete and thorough engineering review of our hurricane damage. Complete's analysis provided the foundation for our hurricane claim which enabled us to get a quick but fair result. Without question, our great result was in large part because of Complete's sophisticated and and through work product.

Unbelievable. Navigating the insurance world can be quite intimidating for the everyday policy holder. Thankfully we found Team Complete! John personally and thoroughly explained the how to proceed with each step of the process. Team Complete has substantially reduced our stress level, anxiety and frustration with our claim. Hopefully we will never have another claim but know who to call first if we do!
