Condo Structural Engineering – A Team Effort

Through our structural engineering services, we inspect condos – from top to bottom, inside and outside – to ensure they possess a caliber of design and construction integrity that will withstand external and internal pressures. Many condo buildings throughout Florida were built decades ago under less rigorous code mandates. Additionally, condos can be under-maintained, which worsen the effects of structural flaws.

Every element – from the foundations to the floors to the beams, and more – must be able to powerfully combat excruciating load, stress, and forces. This would include a condo’s response and resistance to weather, including environmental loads such as wind, thermal, and others.

The CSI Construction Solutions team is compromised of experienced and credentialed leaders who are passionate about delivering condo structural-engineering innovations for our clients in Amelia Island and beyond. As a cohesive team, we are individually and collectively invested in professional development that is always on the cutting edge. As a result, our clients benefit from a caliber of expertise that provides commanding insight they desire and require.

Focusing on Structural Integrity & Design

When structural changes to an existing Amelia Island condo will be made or when a new condo in Amelia Island is being proposed, our structural engineering firm works hand-in-glove with contractors, architects, and designers.

Our firm possesses an exhaustive understanding of all aspects of condo construction. Our team is ready to help with designing, supporting, facilitating, guiding, assessing, consulting, and remedying – from the smallest of details to the most complex.

Architects and builders involved in new construction for condos, apartment buildings. and other residential and commercial structures hire our structural engineering firm to work directly with them to perform site investigations, develop detailed construction plans, and oversee project details including legal guidelines, safety requirements, environmental mandates, and more.

Whatever your condo inspection or renovation plans might entail, call CSI Construction Solutions at (904) 261-8703 with any questions or concerns.

Condo Maintenance is Critical – Now More Than Ever

To garner the best life expectancy from a building, structural engineers should inspect condo properties regularly – at least once every five years. Defects can contribute to an unhealthy or unsafe environment, including crumbling mortar, which can invite moisture, and leaking roofs, which can lead to mold and mildew buildup.

In the wake of Florida’s Surfside condo tragedy, structural assessments of all types of coastal buildings are wise. Oceanfront buildings in the Southeast that are impacted by high humidity, salt air, high water tables, and seawater flooding can become severely compromised. This is one of the reasons regular inspections by a condo structural-engineering firm are so critical.

One member of the American Society of Civil Engineers put it this way: “You can have a perfectly designed building and a perfectly constructed building per the engineer drawings, but if that building doesn’t receive proper maintenance, that is a real issue.”

Visual inspections by a building inspector may not adequately determine signs of serious distress, such as structural or foundational failures. Unless a forensic analysis is performed, it is very difficult to determine if any given condo structure is sound. Concerns that might surround the structural integrity of a condo building are not limited to climate or proximity to the ocean. Sub-par construction can be an issue with condos in the Amelia Island area, as well.

At CSI Construction Solutions, we utilize engineering forensics, enabling us to thoroughly investigate materials, components, and structures that have experienced function failures, which can lead to property damage, injury, and loss of life. Through our detailed inspections, collection of evidence, experimenting, and much more, our firm’s findings are admissible as evidence in court. Our team can, therefore, testify as an expert witness, when needed.

The answers to why a specific building component fails can be rooted in a variety of technical and complex reasons. The bottom line remains: Through our firm’s talents, tenacity, and technologies, we evaluate problems, establish remedies, and generate peace of mind.
