Condo Milestone Structural Inspections, PLLC (CMSI) typically does not bid on services for maintenance, repair, or replacements recommended by our inspections. This ensures our recommendations focus on identifying any dangerous conditions and necessary repairs, without inflating fees for unnecessary work.

o If the required disclosure is not provided, then the contract between the association and the design professional or contractor is voidable and the condominium or cooperative association can terminate the contract upon written notice to the design professional or contractor.
