In-houseBuilding recertification
Miami-Dade, Broward and the statewide milestone-inspection program require periodic structural and electrical recertification of older buildings. Requirements vary by county, building type and age, and they have changed several times in recent years. We tell you exactly what applies to your building, perform the inspection, prepare the report the building department expects, and design any repairs the inspection turns up.

Permit services
Permit expediting for new work, and troubleshooting when a permit is rejected, expired, left open by a previous contractor, or when work was done without one. We review comments, correct drawings, coordinate with the reviewer and follow the permit through final inspection.
