Miami Beach Drone Inspection Services

Miami Beach has an estimated 350+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, all subject to SB-4D milestone inspections. 200+ of these buildings are approaching or have passed the 25-year milestone.

Yes. In addition to Florida's SB-4D milestone inspections, buildings in Miami-Dade County are subject to the Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification.
