How Do Findings Become A Finished Repair?

The Direct Answer

What Does Restoration Design And Oversight Involve?

Restoration design and oversight covers the repair drawings and the construction that follows them: permit plans and repair quantity documentation developed from inspection findings, help selecting a general contractor, then oversight of repair quality and quantity through close-out. The Engineer of Record assigned to your building writes and seals the reporting.

Work typically begins with the findings of a recertification, milestone or condition inspection; from that assessment Fortis develops permit plans and repair quantity documentation, then helps the association select a general contractor. Through construction, Fortis engineers oversee the quality and quantity of repairs, review shoring design plans where they apply, respond to RFIs, perform Special Inspections, and prepare progress reports for the board — through project close-out.

Project Record

1170 East Point Towers

Fort Lauderdale, Broward County · Waterfront condominium + detached 2-story garage structure

Fortis inspected the 1170 building and detached 2-story garage structure as part of the building recertification process. Developed permit plans, assisted with general contractor selection, oversees repair quality, manages RFIs, conducts Special Inspections, and generates progress reports for the HOA.

Outcome

Project is ongoing; restoration efforts are on schedule to be finished in 2026.

Restoration oversight puts a Fortis engineer on the owner’s side of the work: reviewing the contractor’s means and methods against the repair documents, observing the work in place, and documenting what was actually built. See the full project footprint.

Scope reference

From Distress Mapping To Repair Drawings

Documented distress locations become the repair drawings, the bid scope contractors price, and the checklist used during construction administration through close-out.
