- Decades of Experience
Overview
A Milestone Inspection is a structured, two-phase structural review required under Florida Senate Bill 4D for condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or higher. Our licensed structural engineers conduct Milestone Inspection services that satisfy state law and protect owners, residents, and association boards from the consequences of undetected structural deterioration.
Phase 1 is a thorough visual inspection of the primary structural systems — foundations, columns, beams, slabs, balconies, and exterior load-bearing walls. If signs of substantial structural deterioration are observed, the engineer proceeds to Phase 2, which includes more invasive testing, instrumented evaluation, and engineered repair recommendations. Every Milestone Inspection we deliver is sealed by a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer and formatted to meet local building official requirements.
Engineering Solutions performs Milestone Inspections across Florida and provides equivalent structural condition assessments for clients in New England, where condominium and multi-family owners face comparable building-age and life-safety concerns. Our reports are written to be clear, defensible, and actionable.

Regional Service Areas
Serving Florida & New England
Engineering Solutions provides milestone inspection services across two primary regions, with licensed engineers familiar with the building codes, climate considerations, and regulatory requirements of each.
Florida & Southeast
Milestone Inspections are a Florida-specific mandate, and we perform them across Palm Beach County, Broward County, and Miami-Dade County — including Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Miami, West Palm Beach, Deerfield Beach, Delray Beach, and Pompano Beach. Our engineers are fluent in the Florida Building Code and SB 4D requirements.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Milestone Inspection?
A Milestone Inspection is a mandatory structural review of Florida condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or higher, performed by a licensed structural engineer or architect at 25 years of age and every 10 years thereafter under Florida SB 4D.
When is a Milestone Inspection required in Florida?
Initial Milestone Inspections are required by the building's 25th year (or 30th year if located more than three miles from a coastline), and recurring inspections are required every 10 years afterward.
What is the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2?
Phase 1 is a visual inspection of the primary structural systems. Phase 2 is only required if Phase 1 identifies substantial structural deterioration and includes invasive testing and detailed structural analysis.
Who can perform a Milestone Inspection?
Only a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer or licensed architect can sign and seal a Milestone Inspection report. Engineering Solutions performs all Milestone Inspections under a licensed PE.
Do you serve buildings outside of Florida?
Yes. We serve clients across Florida and New England. While Milestone Inspections are a Florida statute, we provide equivalent structural condition assessments in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
