Miami-Dade · Broward · Florida Professional Engineer
Miami-Dade building recertification, Broward’s Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP) and structural design for new buildings — led by a Florida Professional Engineer who stays on your project from the first conversation to the final report.
Miami-Dade County · Building Recertification
Miami-Dade’s recertification reaches almost every building other than single-family homes and duplexes. Send us the notice from your city or the county: we inspect the building, prepare the structural report on the county’s own form, and stay through repairs to the amended report that closes it.
A phone photo of the letter is enough. No notice yet? Send the address and the year built.
- Applies to
- Almost every building type — condominiums, co-ops, apartments, offices, retail and industrial. Outside the program: single-family homes, duplexes, and buildings with both an occupant load of 10 or less under the Florida Building Code and a gross area of 2,000 sq ft or less.
- First due
- At 30 years — 25 for condominium and cooperative buildings of three or more stories within 3 miles of the coast. Age is counted from the year built on the Property Appraiser’s record.
- Then
- Every 10 years, for the life of the structure.
- Time to file
- 90 days from the Notice of Required Inspection. Courtesy notices should arrive two years and one year ahead; not receiving them does not move the deadline.
- If repairs are needed
- 150 days from the Notice to finish repairs that need no permit and to obtain permits for the rest. Permitted work then follows its permit, and an amended report closes the recertification.
- Condominiums & co-ops
- The recertification serves as compliance with the state milestone inspection — no separate milestone report is filed.

Miami-Dade’s program asks for a structural report and an electrical report. We prepare the structural report; the electrical report is signed by a professional qualified in electrical design.
Broward County · Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP)
Broward’s Building Safety Inspection Program — many owners still call it the 40-year recertification — reaches almost every building type, in every city. Send us the notice from your Building Official: we inspect the building, prepare the structural report on the Board of Rules and Appeals’ own form, and stay through repairs and close-out.
A phone photo of the letter is enough. No notice yet? Send the address and the year of the certificate of occupancy.
- Applies to
- Almost all building types, in every Broward city and the unincorporated area. Outside the program: one- to four-family dwellings of three or fewer habitable stories, fee-simple townhouses, and minor structures under 3,500 sq ft of building area.
- First due
- At 25 years, counted from the certificate of occupancy.
- Then
- Every 10 years.
- Time to file
- 180 days from receiving the Notice of Required Inspection. Older guides still say 90 days; the policy in force since August 9, 2024 gives 180. Your city’s letter states its own date.
- If repairs are needed
- 180 days from the date of the report, under permit, unless the Building Official sets a different time. A reinspection, an amended report and a signed and sealed completion letter close the file.
- Condominiums & co-ops
- The BSIP report serves as phase one and phase two of the state milestone inspection.

New buildings
From a single house to a mid-rise concrete frame.
Houses, townhouses, mid-rise concrete and commercial frames — foundations, frame and hurricane-wind design engineered as one structure and issued as a signed and sealed permit set. We build the structural model first and check it against the architect’s model and the mechanical, electrical and plumbing models, so conflicts are settled on screen before they can become a change order on site.
Where we work
Engineered for this coast.
Hurricane wind, a corrosive coastal environment, a high water table and a code shaped by all three. South Florida is not a generic design condition — it is the one we work in every day, across Miami-Dade and Broward.

Next step
A county notice in your hand, a building that worries you or a new project — describe it and attach what you have. A phone photo of the letter is enough. You hear back from the engineer, with questions or with a written proposal.
