Structural Safety and Inspections

Giving properties the best chance to remain safe and structurally sound for occupants.

Structural inspections or assessments should be conducted every five to ten years and enable building owners and operators to understand the srructural condition of the building with respect to structural safety. These assessments also contribute Information for capital planningneeded for the property including maintenance, repairs, or capital improvements.

A structural condition assessment includes:

• Analysis of existing documentation to understand the structural systems.
• Observations of building movement, distress, and evidence of water intrusion.
• The current condition of relevant systems and materials.
• Recommendations for next steps including maintenance, repair, and replacement.
• Probable costs for correcting issues.

CCA’s assessments follow industry standard guidelines as well as local laws including Miami-Dade and Broward county 40 year recertifications.

CCA’s experienced licensed engineers conduct a review of the building’s structural integrity in accordance with industry standards. This examination is done in two phases: visual inspection then destructive testing to investigate issues observed during the visual inspection. ().

 CCA has been investigating the structural safety of buildings for almost three decades, providing structural condition assessments to identify the effects of aging, construction, weather, and natural deterioration of building materials. With our experience in disaster recovery and rebuilding, construction litigation, forensic engineering, and troubled project turnaround, we are up to date with the most current regulations, standards, and techniques. Our structural condition assessment reports are based on data and analysis from our detailed investigation and backed by solid documentation..
