FAQs

What does a structural inspection include for a Broward condo or commercial building?
A typical scope includes visual and instrumental assessment of slabs, beams, columns, balconies, and facade elements, plus a review of water intrusion paths and documentation. You receive a prioritized report with repair recommendations and timelines.

How do you address concrete spalling and corrosion near the coast?
We determine moisture and chloride sources, define proper demolition limits, treat reinforcement, specify compatible repair mortars, and integrate waterproofing to protect the repaired area.

Can you test windows and walls for wind-driven rain leaks?
Yes. Our enclosure team performs targeted water intrusion tests and air infiltration diagnostics to confirm leak paths, then provides details and specifications for durable fixes.

Do you support construction with special inspections and documentation?
Yes. We provide threshold and special inspections, construction observation, and closeout testing so owners can document compliance and performance.
