Florida Builders Engineers & Inspectors Fly to the Rescue in St. Augustine Beach
When four different companies failed to complete a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) for a luxury beachfront condominium in St. Augustine Beach, the HOA board had just about lost hope. Schedules were missed, consultants never showed up, and the clock was ticking on the statutory deadlines under Florida’s SB 4-D law. That’s when our team at Florida Builders Engineers & Inspectors took flight—literally.
From Miami to St. Augustine: Engineers in the Sky
Led by FAA-certified pilot and senior inspector Roger Morales, MSEng, and accompanied by our Structural Engineering Specialist and SIRS Reserve Analyst, our firm flew directly from Miami Executive Airport to St. Augustine Beach in our company airplane to complete the project.
The destination: the Ocean Sunrise Condominiums, a stunning 7-story high-rise perched right on A1A Beach Boulevard overlooking the Atlantic.
While other firms had promised to perform the study, our team was the first to actually show up—on time, prepared, and equipped with the latest technology. We conducted a full structural review, visual condition assessments, financial reserve forecasting, and component life-cycle analysis per the new Florida statutory requirements for milestone and SIRS reports.
Turning HOA Frustration into Financial Relief
The Ocean Sunrise HOA had grown concerned after multiple failed attempts by local firms. The board president told us that “no one could get the report done right—or even return our calls.” Within days of arrival, our engineers completed the onsite inspection, documentation review, and reserve calculations, producing a professional, fully compliant SIRS that met Florida Building Code and Florida Statute §718.112(2)(g).
The results were a pleasant surprise: our detailed financial modeling revealed that the association’s reserves were in far better shape than originally thought. The HOA President remarked:
“We were expecting bad news, but Florida Builders Engineers & Inspectors showed us that our reserves were actually strong—and that we could plan smartly without special assessments. They delivered what four other firms couldn’t.”
