Florida’s coastal charm brings unique structural challenges. Hurricanes, flooding, salt-laden air, and unstable soils all contribute to elevated risks, placing the state among the nation’s leaders in property damage claims. With dense coastal development and rising risks, the state has made Milestone Inspections mandatory for aging buildings.
For property managers and building associations, staying compliant with these evolving regulations can be challenging. That’s where Prema Consulting Group steps in; our structural engineering team specializes in milestone inspections, delivering detailed reports that meet legal requirements and support long-term building safety and compliance.
At Prema, every Milestone Inspection is conducted by a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with assessment and forensic experience —not just meeting the state’s regulatory requirements, but exceeding them. Our team brings deep expertise in both Phase 1 visual inspections and Phase 2 forensic evaluations, allowing us to assess structural integrity with rigor and precision.
We go beyond checkbox compliance—providing insights that help clients not only meet today’s regulations but also proactively address potential issues before they become costly problems.
We inspect buildings that are 25 or 30 years old and every 10 years after, depending on location, and help in staying ahead of legal mandates, serving every Florida community with care and full statewide coverage.

Buildings situated within 3 miles of the coast must be inspected at 25 years of age, while buildings inland must be inspected once they reach 30 years of age. Both properties must have follow-up inspections every 10 years thereafter. These regulations are part of Florida's legal requirements for coastal safety. Missing these deadlines may lead to penalties or security issues. Each inspection is handled with care and detail.
Milestone inspectors test the building's structural conditions to ensure compliance and security. They start with a visual check of key components like foundations, walls, electrical systems, floors, and roofs. If they identify any concerns, they then shift to phase 2 testing to know more about the damage. Inspectors prepare detailed reports on the structural integrity and repairs.
In most cases, Prema offers the report within a few working days. For larger or more complex properties, the timelines may vary slightly, but the results are given accurately. You'll receive clear information and updates at every stage. Every process has been explained in detail to the property associates.
