Overview
A Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) is a comprehensive reserve analysis of a building's primary structural and life-safety components. Required for Florida condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or higher under SB 4D, the SIRS gives associations a defensible, engineering-based funding plan for the components that determine a building's long-term safety.
Engineering Solutions performs SIRS that comply with Florida statute, are clear enough for boards and unit owners to act on, and are detailed enough for engineers and contractors to estimate against. We catalog component inventory, evaluate remaining useful life, estimate replacement costs, and present a funding plan that satisfies state requirements while reflecting the realities of your building.
Beyond Florida, we provide condominium and multi-family reserve assessment services across New England, where associations and property owners benefit from the same engineering rigor — even when not subject to a comparable statutory mandate.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)?
A SIRS is a comprehensive reserve study of a building's primary structural and life-safety components, required for Florida condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or higher under SB 4D.
Which buildings are required to have a SIRS?
Florida condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or higher must have an initial SIRS and a recurring SIRS every 10 years thereafter.
Who can perform a SIRS?
A SIRS must be performed by a licensed engineer, architect, or other qualified professional as defined under Florida statute. Our SIRS reports are sealed by a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer.
How is a SIRS different from a traditional reserve study?
A SIRS focuses specifically on the building's primary structural and life-safety components and is engineered to meet Florida's statutory requirements, whereas a traditional reserve study may cover a broader set of association assets.
