What Types of Buildings Are Included?

Milestone Inspections & Hurricane damage Inspections Florida

A “milestone inspection” is a two-phase inspection. EMA Structural Engineers perform phase one milestone inspection is a visual structural inspection of a building, including its load-bearing walls and primary structural systems, by a licensed engineer like EMA Structural Forensic Engineers. Its purpose is to confirm the life safety and adequacy of the building’s structural components and determine its general structural condition as it affects building safety. A milestone inspection should include, to the extent reasonably possible, a determination of any necessary maintenance, repair or replacement of any component of the building.

Based on the results of the phase one milestone inspections, the engineers can recommend more testing of various elements and must prepare a structural condition report showing the extent of repairs needed and the association budgets to successfully carryout the repairs.

Hurricane Damage Inspections

Storm damage is the most common type of damage to buildings and homes throughout Florida, with the majority of damage being caused by strong winds. Your first step following a severe storm or hurricane Ian, that results in damage to your building is to have a damage assessment completed as quickly as possible.

The professionals at EMA Forensic Structural Engineers provide independent storm damage inspections. Our experts work for residential, commercial & condominium associations and property owners: in other words, we work for you, not the insurance company.

Florida Condo Milestone Inspections. How Does it Work?

When a building becomes 25 year or older, the county or city code compliance officials send a Notice of Required Inspection to the property owner. Milestone Inspections are based on the anniversary of the original Building Certificate of Occupancy.

The Florida Condominium Safety Bill, also known as the Florida Condo Milestone Inspections Bill, is a bill that would require mandatory building inspections and reserve studies for certain condominiums in the Sunshine State.
