Comprehensive Building Engineering Services

Fortis BuildSafe Solutions provides engineering inspection and consulting services for residential and commercial buildings. Their services include building recertification and milestone inspections, restoration engineering, structural integrity reserve studies (SIRS), building condition surveys, turnover inspections, and new building design services.

A building recertification or milestone inspection is a structural and safety evaluation required for older buildings in many Florida municipalities. The inspection confirms that the building remains structurally sound and compliant with local regulations and the Florida Building Code.

Building restoration engineering services involve diagnosing structural or exterior deterioration and designing repair solutions. These services may include façade repairs, concrete restoration, waterproofing strategies, and structural reinforcement planning.

A Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) is an engineering assessment that evaluates key structural components of a building and estimates their remaining useful life. The study helps condominium associations plan reserve funding for future structural repairs and maintenance.

Condominium associations use a Structural Integrity Reserve Study to understand the condition of critical building components and properly budget for future repairs. The study also helps associations comply with Florida condominium safety regulations.

A building condition survey is a detailed engineering evaluation of a building’s structural elements and exterior systems. It documents current conditions, identifies deterioration or safety concerns, and provides recommendations for maintenance or repair planning.

A turnover inspection occurs when control of a newly constructed building is transferred from the developer to the condominium association or ownership group. Engineers review construction quality and identify defects or incomplete work that may require correction.

Engineering inspection services are commonly required for condominiums, multi-unit residential buildings, commercial properties, and mixed-use buildings that must meet structural safety standards and local compliance requirements.

Engineering inspection reports provide clear documentation of a building’s condition, including photos, technical findings, and prioritized repair recommendations. These reports help owners plan maintenance, manage risk, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Hiring an engineering firm ensures that building inspections are conducted by licensed professionals who understand structural systems, building codes, and regulatory requirements. Professional inspections help property managers identify issues early and develop reliable repair or restoration plans.
