Hollywood, Florida is home to one of the largest concentrations of aging condominium buildings in Broward County — many constructed in the 1970s through 1990s along the Hollywood Beach corridor and the Intracoastal Waterway. Under Broward County's milestone inspection requirement, all condominium buildings must undergo a milestone inspection at 25 years of age — five years earlier than the statewide 30-year requirement. Buildings constructed in the late 1990s and early 2000s are now reaching their first inspection deadline. Pineland Engineering holds Florida Engineering License 39202 and performs Phase 1 and Phase 2 milestone inspections throughout Hollywood and Broward County, preparing reports formatted for submission to the Broward Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA).
Broward County's milestone inspection requirement is administered by the Broward Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) and applies to all condominium buildings in the county — including Hollywood. The 25-year trigger is five years earlier than the statewide requirement under Florida Statute 553.899, and the BORA has specific reporting requirements that differ from those of other Florida counties. Phase 1 consists of a visual inspection of the building's structural components — concrete, masonry, steel, and wood framing — by a Florida-licensed structural engineer or architect. The Phase 1 report must be submitted to BORA within 180 days of the building's 25th anniversary. If Phase 1 identifies structural concerns, a Phase 2 invasive inspection is required within 365 days of the Phase 1 report. Phase 2 may involve destructive testing, core sampling, and detailed structural analysis.

Florida Licenses
Pineland Engineering — Designda Inc. — holds Florida Architecture License AR102594 and Engineering License 39202. All architectural and engineering work is performed under the direct supervision of Florida-licensed professionals.
Florida law requires condominium associations to complete a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) in conjunction with or following the milestone inspection. The SIRS identifies the estimated remaining useful life and replacement cost of the building's structural components and establishes the funding requirements for the association's reserve fund. 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 the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation's requirements, and we work with the association's property manager and board to ensure that the reserve funding plan is both accurate and financially sustainable.
