Services
Building Recertification
Our team performs comprehensive building recertification inspections for structures 30+ years old or within coastal zones. We assess structural and electrical systems, prepare compliance documentation, and identify necessary repairs. Our Florida-licensed engineers ensure adherence to Miami-Dade and Broward County regulations, including threshold building requirements for structures over three stories or with large occupant capacities.
Structural Engineering
We provide structural engineering solutions for residential and commercial projects, including foundation design, framing systems, and specialty structures. Our engineers analyze gravity, wind, and seismic loads while selecting appropriate materials like concrete, steel, or masonry. We deliver code-compliant designs that balance safety requirements with cost-effectiveness for new constructions and renovation projects.
Drone Inspections
Our FAA-certified pilots conduct drone inspections to evaluate hard-to-reach building components. Using high-resolution cameras, we identify envelope deficiencies like cracking, corrosion, and roofing damage. The service includes detailed reports with annotated imagery, helping property owners prioritize maintenance while avoiding costly scaffolding setups for visual assessments.
Floor Plans
We create accurate floor plans using LiDAR technology for real estate transactions and renovation planning. Our packages include basic dimensional plans, interactive virtual tours, and 3D renderings. These documents benefit realtors, buyers, and contractors by providing precise spatial data for property visualization and construction documentation.
Infrared Thermography
Our Level II Certified Thermographers perform infrared inspections for electrical systems exceeding 400 amps. This service detects thermal anomalies in electrical components, identifying potential fire hazards from overheating connections or overloaded circuits. We provide detailed reports documenting temperature variances and recommended corrective actions to enhance system safety and compliance.
