Milestone Investigations

Florida statutes now require condominium associations and co-ops to conduct structural inspections (the “Milestone Inspection”) of each building three-stories or more in height by December 31 of the year in which the building reaches 30 years of age, based on the date the Certificate of Occupancy was issued. If the building is within three miles of the coast, a milestone inspection is required when the building reaches 25 years of age. Milestone inspections will also be required every ten years thereafter.

A Milestone Inspection is an inspection intended to identify any necessary maintenance, repair, or replacement of a building’s primary structural components.It must be conducted by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect.

Milestone Inspections come in two phases: A Phase One inspection consists of a visual inspection of a building’s major structural components and a qualitative assessment of the building’s structural condition. If no signs of structural deterioration are observed, then a Phase Two inspection is not required. A Phase Two inspection is only conducted if signs of structural deterioration are observed. It is required to be sufficiently extensive to fully investigate areas of structural deterioration and to allow for the formulation of repairs.

Marcon Forensics’ team of engineers is experienced in conducting Milestone Phase One and Phase Two investigations and in preparing Milestone reports.
