Condo Milestone Structural Inspections, PLLC
CMSI performs Professional Engineer (PE) Milestone Mandatory Inspections for Condominiums Per FLorida Bill SB 154 (Originally SB 4-D)
The June, 2021 collapse of Champlain Towers South Condo, a 12-story, 40-year old building, causing 98 unfortunate deaths was the impetus for Florida Bill SB 4-D and subsequently SB154, requiring Florida Condominium and Cooperative Association buildings, 3 stories and taller, to have the Primary Structural Systems of their buildings evaluated by a Professional Engineer (PE) or Architect upon the building's 30th year (25th year if located within 3 miles of Coastline) and every 10 years thereafter.
