How Can Concrete Restoration Prevent Tragedies on Your Property?

What does Florida Bill S.B. 4-D mean for property owners?

SB-4D establishes a new, statewide inspection program that mandates condo and co-op buildings 3 or more stories high to meet new requirements.

Structural inspections are key to making sure your building is properly up to code and complies with the new law. Here’s what you need to do:

• Make sure your structural inspection is performed by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect
• Include visual inspection of primary structural members and systems
• Identify if any structural deterioration is substantial and if it will negatively affect the building’s condition, integrity, or safety of occupants
• Document whether unsafe or dangerous conditions are observed
• Report any items that require maintenance or further inspection
• Report any items that require immediate replacement or repair (including structural components)

Lastly, these (and more) elements of building structure need to be included in the scope of a Structural Integrity Reserve Study:

• Roofs
• Load bearing walls
• Primary structural members
• Floors
• Foundations
• Plumbing

Since the Champlain Towers Collapse in Surfside Florida, we have had numerous requests to perform structural condition assessments.

How can you prevent a tragedy like this occurring at your property?
