Frequently Asked Questions — Structural Engineer Orlando FL

Who needs a milestone inspection in Orlando?

Any condominium or cooperative building in Florida that is 3 or more stories tall and 30 years or older requires a structural milestone inspection under Florida SB-4D. In Orlando and Orange County, buildings within 3 miles of a coastline or major water body may qualify for the 25-year threshold. EMA Engineers can determine your building’s inspection deadline and complete both Phase 1 and Phase 2 reports.

How much does a structural engineer cost in Orlando?

Structural engineering inspection costs in Orlando depend on building size, scope, and type. Milestone inspections for small condominiums (under 10 units) typically start around $1,500–$2,500 for a Phase 1 visual inspection. Larger buildings and Phase 2 inspections involving testing are priced higher. Contact EMA Engineers at (321) 355-6052 for a specific quote for your Orlando property.

What is the SB-4D deadline for Orlando condos?

Florida SB-4D required buildings that reached the 30-year threshold before July 1, 2022 to complete their milestone inspection by December 31, 2024. Buildings reaching the threshold after July 1, 2022 have 2 years from the date they trigger the requirement. If your Orlando condo has not yet completed its milestone inspection, contact EMA Engineers immediately.

Do I need a PE for a balcony inspection in Orlando?

Yes. Florida law requires that milestone inspections — which include balcony and elevated walkway inspections — be performed by or under the direct supervision of a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect. EMA Engineers’ inspection reports are signed and sealed by a Florida PE.

What is the difference between a home inspection and a structural engineering inspection?

A home inspection is performed by a licensed home inspector (HI) and provides a general assessment of property condition. A structural engineering inspection is performed by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) and provides an expert engineering opinion on structural integrity, load-bearing capacity, and code compliance — legally defensible for insurance, litigation, and government compliance purposes.
