Protecting Every System in Your Building
Click on the building or select a zone below to explore how CSI protects Florida condominiums from roof to foundation.
Interactive 3D model of a Florida condominium building. The visual model is decorative. Explore each building system using the Roof, Envelope, Balconies, Windows, Structure, and Foundation buttons below the model; each button opens a description of how CSI protects that part of the building.
Envelope
We identify exactly where water is getting in and develop repair strategies that fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Balconies
Florida law requires structural inspection of balconies and walkways. CSI performs Phase 1 and Phase 2 milestone inspections.
Windows
When owners report water intrusion, you need data. CSI uses field testing, moisture mapping, and other standardized diagnostic methods to pinpoint failures before they spread.
Structure
SIRS are now required for Florida condos three stories and higher. CSI conducts reserve studies at all CAI levels.
Foundation
CSI evaluates footings, slabs, piles, and grade beams to identify problems early, before they become six-figure repairs.
Understanding Your Building

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A milestone inspection is a structural inspection required by Florida law for condominium and cooperative buildings that are 3 stories or higher. Under Florida Statute 553.899, buildings must complete a Phase 1 inspection by December 31 of the year they reach 30 years of age, and every 10 years thereafter. For buildings within 3 miles of a coastline, the local enforcement agency may require the first inspection at 25 years rather than 30. If structural deterioration is found, a Phase 2 inspection with testing is required. CSI performs both Phase 1 and Phase 2 milestone inspections throughout Florida. Contact us at (904) 261-8703 to determine if your building qualifies.
A Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) is required for Florida condominium associations with buildings 3 stories or higher. It involves a visual inspection of structural components including roofing, load-bearing walls, floors, foundations, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, and windows, along with a reserve funding analysis. CSI provides SIRS reports performed by licensed Professional Engineers. Call us at (904) 261-8703 for more details.
