Boca Raton is one of Palm Beach County's most active condominium markets, with a large inventory of buildings constructed in the 1970s through 1990s along the A1A coastal corridor and the Intracoastal Waterway. Under Florida Statute 553.899, condominium buildings within three miles of the coast must undergo a milestone inspection at 25 years of age; those farther inland are subject to the 30-year requirement. Boca Raton's coastal location means that many of its condominium buildings are subject to the 25-year trigger. Pineland Engineering holds Florida Engineering License 39202 and performs Phase 1 and Phase 2 milestone inspections throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach County, preparing reports formatted for submission to the City of Boca Raton Building Division.
Palm Beach County's milestone inspection program is administered through each municipality's local building department. In Boca Raton, the City of Boca Raton Building Division oversees milestone inspection compliance. The 25-year coastal trigger applies to condominium buildings within three miles of the coastline — which includes most of Boca Raton's oceanfront and Intracoastal condominium inventory. Phase 1 consists of a visual inspection of the building's structural components by a Florida-licensed structural engineer or architect. The Phase 1 report must be submitted to the City of Boca Raton Building Division within 180 days of the building's inspection deadline. If Phase 1 identifies structural concerns, a Phase 2 invasive inspection is required within 365 days of the Phase 1 report.

Florida law requires condominium associations to complete a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) in conjunction with or following the milestone inspection. Pineland Engineering coordinates SIRS preparation as a combined engagement with the milestone inspection, reducing cost and disruption to residents. We prepare SIRS reports that comply with Florida Statute 718.112 and work with the association's property manager and board to ensure that the reserve funding plan is both accurate and financially sustainable. For Boca Raton associations facing significant repair needs identified in Phase 1 or Phase 2 inspections, we also provide structural repair design services — preparing repair drawings and specifications that can be bid to qualified contractors and permitted through the City of Boca Raton Building Division.
