A Milestone Inspection is a thorough examination of a building’s structural integrity, conducted by licensed architects or engineers in Florida. This process involves assessing the building’s load-bearing components and major structural elements as outlined in statute s. 627.706. The professionals responsible for this inspection focus on confirming the safety and longevity of the building’s structure, identifying any parts that might need maintenance, repair, or replacement. Typically, these inspections are done by a team of specialists led by an architect or engineer. The team leader ensures that all findings and reports are officially approved and documented by the team’s qualified members.
It’s important to note that the aim of this inspection isn’t to check if the building complies with the Florida Building Code or fire safety codes, but rather to evaluate its structural condition.
