About Milestone Inspections

A Milestone Inspection is a comprehensive structural assessment conducted by a licensed architect or engineer. These inspections are mandatory for all condominiums and cooperative buildings in Florida that are 30 years old and have three or more floors. The primary purpose of Milestone Inspections is to ensure the safety of buildings by examining their structural components and overall condition. The focus is not on whether a building complies with the Florida Building Code or the fire safety code, but rather on its structural integrity.

The Milestone Inspection consists of two distinct phases. In Phase One, our team performs a visual examination of habitable and non-habitable areas, evaluating the building’s major structural components. If no signs of substantial structural deterioration are found, Phase Two is not required. However, if significant structural issues are identified, a more detailed inspection (Phase Two) is initiated. This phase may involve destructive or non-destructive testing as needed to assess areas of structural distress thoroughly.

It’s crucial to remember that these inspections are required every 10 years after the initial 30-year mark, ensuring the continued safety and structural soundness of your building.
