SB-4D Milestone Inspection & SIRS Repairs in Broward County
Phase II found the deterioration. The Structural Integrity Reserve Study set the funding. Academia is the contractor that turns those findings into a permitted, phased, executed capital program — for Broward condominium boards working occupied buildings.
Milestone, Phase II, and SIRS.
Florida’s SB-4D requires a Milestone Inspection for condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or taller — a Phase I inspection at 25 years when within three miles of the coast, or 30 years otherwise, then every 10 years after. Broward’s long coastline puts much of its high-rise inventory on the 25-year trigger. If Phase I finds substantial structural deterioration, a Phase II inspection follows.
Every covered building also completes a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) at least every 10 years. In Broward, the statewide SB-4D requirements run alongside the county’s 40-year recertification program administered by the Board of Rules and Appeals — so many boards manage Milestone repairs, a SIRS capital plan, and recertification at the same time.
From Phase II findings to executed repairs.
Findings to scope
We convert Phase II structural findings and the SIRS component list into a quantified, permittable, phaseable scope — concrete restoration, post-tension and rebar repair, waterproofing, and envelope work — with realistic Broward unit costs.
Around budget and reserves
Few boards can fund everything at once. We sequence the work against SIRS reserves, special-assessment timing, and the structural urgency of each item — so the building stays safe, financeable, and insurable through the program.
Self-performed, in-house
General contracting, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and solar held in-house — one accountable operator executing structural and envelope repairs on occupied buildings, coordinated with the engineer of record.

Broward Milestone & SIRS, answered.
When does my Broward condominium need a Milestone Inspection?
Under SB-4D, condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or taller require a Phase I Milestone Inspection at 25 years from the certificate of occupancy when within three miles of the coast, or at 30 years otherwise — then every 10 years after. Broward’s long coastline means the 25-year trigger applies to much of its high-rise inventory. Your engineer confirms the exact milestone date.
What triggers a Phase II inspection — and what happens next?
Phase II is triggered when the Phase I inspection identifies substantial structural deterioration. It is a deeper, often partially destructive investigation that defines the actual repair scope. Once Phase II quantifies the damage, the building needs a contractor to permit and execute the repairs — Academia takes the Phase II findings and builds them into an executable program.
How does SB-4D interact with Broward’s 40-year recertification?
They are separate but concurrent. The Milestone Inspection and SIRS are statewide SB-4D requirements; Broward’s 40-year recertification is a county program run by the Board of Rules and Appeals. Many Broward condominiums now carry both at once. We coordinate the repair scope so a single capital program satisfies the structural items across both requirements rather than duplicating work.
Who performs the inspection versus the repairs?
A Florida-licensed engineer or architect performs the Milestone Inspection and SIRS — independent roles that stay separate from the contractor. Academia is the contractor: we execute the structural, concrete, waterproofing, and envelope repairs the Phase II report and SIRS require, permitted through the local building department and coordinated with the engineer of record.
How is the repair program paced for an occupied building?
Most Broward condominiums stay fully occupied through the work. We phase the scope to keep the building safe and functional — sequencing balconies, garages, plaza decks, and facade zones so residents retain access, while prioritizing the structural items flagged most urgent in Phase II. Send the Phase II report and SIRS for a phased Broward plan and budget within one business day.
Have a Phase II report or SIRS for a Broward building?
Send us the Phase II findings or the reserve study. We’ll translate them into a phased, permitted capital program — and respond within one business day.
