Structural Integrity Reserve Study Support in South Florida

A Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) is a Florida-mandated assessment of a building's major structural components — the roof, load-bearing walls, floor, foundation, fireproofing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and exterior, windows, and any other component with a deferred-maintenance or replacement cost of $10,000 or more. It establishes the remaining useful life and replacement cost of each, and the reserves the association must fund to maintain them.

A licensed engineer, architect, or reserve specialist performs the study — it's an assessment, not construction. In short, a SIRS tells your board what the building will need, when, and how much to set aside. What it doesn't do is perform the work — and that's where New Age comes in.

Florida's SB-4D, passed after the Surfside collapse, requires condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or taller to complete a SIRS and to fund reserves for the structural components it covers — associations can no longer waive or underfund those reserves. The initial studies were due by December 31, 2024, and a SIRS must be updated at least every 10 years.

The practical effect: thousands of South Florida associations now hold a study identifying real, funded repair work — and they need a licensed contractor to execute it. That's the role New Age fills. (Verify the current statute details with your association's counsel; the law has been refined since passage.)

They're related SB-4D requirements but different. The milestone inspection is a structural-safety inspection — Phase 1, and Phase 2 if substantial deterioration is found — at 30 years and every 10 after. The SIRS is a financial and reserve study of major components and the money to maintain them. A building can be subject to both.

The repairs each one identifies often overlap, which is exactly why a single contractor helps. We execute the scope from either — coordinating with your engineer and reserve specialist so milestone findings and SIRS-funded components are addressed together, not as separate projects.

Once your study is in hand, we review the findings with your board and engineer, translate the identified components into a prioritized, executable scope, and phase the work to match how your reserves are funded — addressing the most critical structural and waterproofing components first. We perform the concrete, structural, and waterproofing repairs ourselves and document every phase.

For a board, the value is one accountable contractor who understands the SIRS process and turns a compliance document into a maintained, funded, code-ready building — with a record for the next study cycle.
