Why Due Diligence Inspection Matters Here
Our due diligence inspections document building conditions for Coral Gables property acquisitions — revealing deferred maintenance, dual compliance status (40-Year + SB-4D), and latent defects in Miami-Dade County buildings.
Coastal Considerations
Local Building Challenges
Miami-Dade's dual compliance requirements mean buildings may face significant upcoming costs that sellers may not disclose. Our inspection quantifies these exposures.

Building Stock Profile
Coral Gables's building stock includes an estimated 80+ condominium and apartment buildings above three stories, plus approximately 500+ commercial structures. The predominant construction era is 1920s-1970s (historic Mediterranean Revival) with modern towers along US-1, with facades primarily consisting of coral rock veneer, stucco, Mediterranean-style tile, reinforced concrete. Coral Gables has strict historic preservation ordinances that make facade condition monitoring especially critical — early detection of deterioration prevents costly remediation that must comply with the city's architectural review board.
Regulatory Requirements
Coral Gables buildings are subject to both Florida's SB-4D milestone inspection at 25 years and Miami-Dade County's Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification. Many Coral Gables commercial buildings along the Miracle Mile and US-1 corridor are 40-60+ years old, requiring both 40-Year Recertification and SB-4D milestone inspections.

Our Process
How Due Diligence Works in Coral Gables
From initial consultation to PE-certified report delivery — here is how we execute due diligence inspection for Miami-Dade County properties.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your Coral Gables building's specifics — height, facade materials, access constraints, and local airspace requirements. A detailed flight plan is created and all FAA authorizations secured.
Drone Data Capture
FAA Part 107 certified pilots deploy commercial drones equipped with 50MP cameras to systematically capture your building's exterior surfaces. A typical inspection flight takes 4-8 hours depending on building size.
AI Analysis & Engineering Review
Captured imagery is processed through our AI defect detection pipeline, classifying up to 20 defect types with GPS coordinates. A Florida-licensed Professional Engineer reviews the findings and prepares the inspection report.
Report Delivery & Action Plan
Your PE-certified report is delivered promptly. It includes high-resolution imagery, AI defect classifications, repair priorities, and cost estimates — everything Miami-Dade County engineers and property managers need to take action.

Frequently Asked Questions
What compliance costs should buyers consider in Miami-Dade?
Buildings approaching 40-Year Recert or SB-4D deadlines may require facade restoration, structural remediation, or SIRS-funded reserves. Our inspection estimates these costs for informed acquisition decisions.
How quickly can you deliver a due diligence report for a Miami-Dade acquisition?
We deploy within 24 hours from our Miami base and deliver PE-certified reports within 5-7 business days of the flight. For time-sensitive closings, we offer expedited 72-hour turnaround on the condition summary while the full report is finalized.
Does your due diligence inspection cover both facade and roof?
Yes. Our standard due diligence scope includes full building envelope documentation — all four facade elevations plus complete roof surface. For Miami-Dade properties, we also assess salt-spray exposure zones and document conditions relevant to both 40-Year Recertification and SB-4D compliance.
