The licensed PE documents all deficiencies and provides a sealed report with repair recommendations.
When is a structural inspection required in Miami-Dade?
Structural inspections in Miami-Dade are required when: (1) a building reaches its 30-year or 40-year recertification milestone, (2) a condominium or co-op triggers SB-4D milestone inspection requirements, (3) there is visible structural damage or deterioration, (4) a building permit requires a structural assessment, or (5) a property buyer requests a pre-purchase structural evaluation.
How much does a structural inspection cost in Miami?
Structural inspection costs in Miami vary by building type and size. Recertification inspections (30-year or 40-year) start at $2,500 for small buildings. Pre-purchase structural assessments and individual unit inspections are quoted separately. We provide free consultations to determine the right scope for your building.

What is the difference between a structural inspection and a milestone inspection?
A structural inspection is a general assessment of a building's structural integrity.

Milestone inspections follow prescribed phases and must be performed by a licensed structural or civil engineer.
