In Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, most buildings—other than single-family homes—must undergo safety recertification at 30 to 40 years of age and every 10 years thereafter. These inspections verify structural and electrical systems to ensure continued safe use.
Prema delivers evidence-based building recertification inspections—combining forensic engineering analysis, expert verification, and code compliance—to help ensure structural integrity, regulatory approval, and safe continued occupancy.
Focusing on Florida’s harsh climate and evolving building standards demand more than a checklist approach. Prema’s Building Recertification Services are led by licensed engineers who deliver thorough, transparent, and fully compliant evaluations—giving property owners clarity and confidence at every phase of the process.
Our engineering experts analyze and evaluate potential risks and damages resulting from structural deterioration, moisture intrusion, and roofing defects to assess the physical integrity of your building.
Milestone inspections include inspecting electrical systems per code requirements.
Prema then provides the customer a certified, comprehensive, municipality-ready report outlining inspection findings, repair recommendations, and recertification strategies.
Beyond detailed reports, we support clients through expert consultations and tailored remediation strategies for effective building rectification.

Building recertification is considered a mandatory process for buildings in Florida. By law, buildings that have reached the age of 25 (in the coastal region) and 30 (in the other regions) are expected to undergo this recertification process to ensure the safety of the occupants and the structural integrity of the buildings.
Prema’s heavy presence throughout the Southeastern United States means our experts are knowledgeable and experienced in structural deterioration issues that impact Florida buildings. We provide unique and solution-based services, from forensic engineering to building assessment services. Our expert engineers analyze, assess, and produce detailed reports to meet all your documentation needs.
These typically include structures over 2,000 square feet or three stories in height. At Prema, our team will assess whether your property meets these criteria.
Prema’s recertification process includes a structural inspection and, where required, an electrical inspection by licensed engineers. We provide a detailed report outlining any deficiencies and the necessary corrective actions to maintain code compliance.
Failure to recertify a building can result in fines, enforcement actions, or even evacuation orders. Non-compliance puts occupants at risk and may lead to legal and insurance complications. PREMA ensures timely inspections and documentation to keep you fully compliant and protected.
