Miami-Dade · Broward · Florida Professional Engineer

Structural Engineering for South Florida.

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 recertification. 90 days from the notice.

One team delivers the complete package — the structural and electrical reports on the county’s forms and the certificates that go with them — and stays through repairs to the amended report that closes the recertification. The program reaches almost every building other than single-family homes and duplexes. Send us the notice from your city or the county.

Send the Miami-Dade Notice

Photograph the letter with your phone and send it. No notice yet? Send the address and the year built.

  • First due: At 30 years — 25 for condominium and cooperative buildings of three or more stories within 3 miles of the coast.
  • Then: Every 10 years, for the life of the structure.
  • Time to file: 90 days from the Notice of Required Inspection.
  • If repairs are needed: 150 days from the Notice to finish repairs that need no permit and to obtain permits for the rest.
  • Condominiums & co-ops: The recertification serves as compliance with the state milestone inspection — no separate milestone report is filed.

Broward County · Building Safety Inspection Program (BSIP)

Broward BSIP. 180 days from the notice.

One team delivers the complete BSIP package — both inspections, structural and electrical, the written report and the program’s official forms — and stays through repairs and close-out. Many owners still call the program the 40-year recertification; it reaches almost every building type, in every city. Send us the notice from your Building Official.

Send the Broward Notice

Photograph the letter with your phone and send it. No notice yet? Send the address and the year of the certificate of occupancy.

  • 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.
  • 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.

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.

The proposal is free. We usually reply within two hours.
