What are Milestone Inspections?
A milestone inspection, per Florida Statutes (Chapter 553, Section 899), is a vital structural assessment in Florida by a licensed architect or engineer, typically for buildings aged 25-30 years. It scrutinizes load-bearing walls, primary structural elements, and systems to evaluate structural integrity and safety. Identifying significant structural decay is the main objective. If detected, a more detailed phase two inspection may follow. The comprehensive results are meticulously documented in a formal report, highlighting recommended repairs and safety issues crucial for ensuring the safety of aging Florida condominiums and cooperative buildings and keeping you fully informed about your property’s condition.

How many phases are there for a milestone inspection in Florida?
Florida milestone inspection consists of 2 phases: PHASE 1 and PHASE 2.
PHASE 1:
It is a form of visual inspection that is done in order to understand the basic structural integrity. A certified inspector will analyze the entire building structure to figure out if there are any issues. The reason behind the inspection and report is to confirm that the structure under consideration is secure for continued use under present occupancy. Now, should “substantial structural deterioration” be found during this inspection, the second phase of the inspection will need to be conducted, i.e., PHASE 2.
PHASE 2:
The inspection process may encompass both destructive and non-destructive testing, as deemed appropriate by the inspector. This supplementary examination will be conducted with utmost thoroughness or restraint, depending on the extent of the damage to be evaluated. Our engineers will ensure a comprehensive assessment of all areas of concern.
