Do historic buildings in Florida need to meet current building codes?
Historic buildings undergoing renovation must meet current codes for the work being done, but the FBC allows alternative compliance methods for historic buildings to preserve their character. Pineland Engineering navigates these requirements.
What is the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in Florida?
The Florida SHPO reviews projects that affect buildings on the National Register of Historic Places and administers the Federal Historic Tax Credit program. Pineland Engineering works with SHPO on historic renovation projects.
