Why do i need a 10 Year Milestone Inspection?
10 Year Milestone Inspections are put in place as part of a public safety program to ensure buildings are structurally sound and safe for occupancy. The 10 year recertification has been in place in some counties in Florida but are now a state wide mandate after the tragedy that occurred in Surfside Florida. The 10 year milestone inspection is required regardless if you have completed a 40 year inspection, 25 year inspection, or 30 year inspection in the past.

Who can perform the 10 year Milestone Inspection?
The 10 year Milestone inspection can only be performed by a Florida licensed engineer or architect. These are the state wide requirements but it is always best to use an Engineer or Architect with experience in building recertifications. We suggest this because local regulations might be different than state wide requirements and it is essential to find someone who understands the current evolving requirements based on your buildings location.
