Building Recertification & Milestone Inspection Management
Building Recertification & Milestone Inspection Management
Ever since the tragic June 24, 2021 collapse of the 12-story Champlain
Towers South condominium in Surfside, Florida, building safety requirements
across South Florida have tightened significantly. In response, counties and the
State of Florida have increased enforcement and oversight of structural and
electrical compliance for aging buildings.
Today, South Florida buildings are under tremendous pressure to comply with
Florida’s Milestone Inspection law and Miami-Dade’s recertification
requirements. Condominium and cooperative buildings 3 stories and higher
must complete structural milestone inspections at 30 years (or earlier in some
coastal cases), and then every 10 years thereafter. Miami-Dade also requires
recertification at 30 years and every 10 years, with strict deadlines once a notice
is issued.
Most buildings now face tremendous pressure to comply with 40-, 50-, and
60-year recertifications, and the process can feel overwhelming for boards and
property managers. It often requires coordinating multiple moving parts —
engineers, contractors, inspections, repairs, timelines, and city approvals — all
under strict compliance deadlines.
That’s where we come in. We coordinate and oversee all moving parts of the
recertification process on behalf of the owner/association, including hiring the
engineers, hiring the right contractors, and overseeing every step through final
compliance. We already work closely with management companies and
building associations throughout South Florida, acting as the single point of
leadership so your board doesn’t have to shoulder the burden alone.
As your Owner’s Representative, we manage the entire recertification process on your behalf, including:
- Reviewing recertification/milestone notices and deadlines
- Coordinating required inspections with Florida-licensed engineers/architects
- Assisting the board in selecting and contracting with structural and electrical professionals
- Soliciting, vetting, and supervising qualified contractors for repairs
- Coordinating with property managers regarding resident notifications and access requirements
- Monitoring progress required after Phase 1 / Phase 2 inspections, and ensuring they begin within mandated timelines
- Coordinating documentation between engineers, contractors, permit expediters, and building departments
We currently work with building associations, boards, and property
management companies throughout Miami-Dade and South Florida, providing a
smooth path to compliance with minimal disruption.
Don’t put this off until it’s too late. Recertification deadlines, repair timelines,
and enforcement are stricter than ever — and the earlier you start, the smoother
and more cost-effective the process will be.
