    Overview

    Building recertification is the formal process by which an aging building is evaluated and certified as safe for continued occupancy. Many jurisdictions — most notably Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida — require recertification of buildings reaching a defined age (commonly 40 years, with 10-year recurring cycles thereafter). Engineering Solutions provides building recertification services that meet local code, document existing conditions clearly, and protect owners from liability.

    Our licensed structural engineers evaluate the primary structural systems and coordinate with licensed electrical engineers for the electrical scope. We document conditions thoroughly, identify repairs needed to achieve certification, and produce PE-sealed reports formatted for the issuing authority. Where repairs are required, we can also provide engineered repair drawings and construction administration.

    We perform building recertifications across Florida and provide comparable structural recertification and condition assessment services for clients in New England, where many jurisdictions impose their own periodic inspection or recertification requirements on aging commercial and multi-family buildings.

    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a building recertification?

    Building recertification is a formal evaluation by a licensed engineer that certifies an aging building as structurally and electrically safe for continued occupancy, performed at an age and frequency defined by the local jurisdiction.

    When is recertification required?

    In Miami-Dade and Broward counties, recertification is typically required at 40 years of age and every 10 years thereafter. Other Florida and New England jurisdictions may have different triggers.

    How long does the recertification process take?

    A straightforward recertification can be completed in a few weeks. Timelines extend when significant repairs are required before certification can be issued.

    What happens if repairs are needed?

    Our engineers identify the repairs required, can produce engineered repair drawings, and re-inspect after work is completed so the final certification can be issued.

    Do you offer recertification services outside Florida?

    Yes. We provide structural recertification and condition assessment services to clients in New England, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
