Florida's structural-safety era — milestone inspections, reserve studies, and the repairs they mandate — has turned volunteer boards into owners of multi-million-dollar construction projects, overnight and without asking. The engineer speaks in reports. The contractors know the board is inexperienced. The owners funding the assessment are watching every dollar. And the board's duty is fiduciary — personal, and real.
What changes with independent oversight
The project gets an owner's side. Scopes are competed and leveled so the award is defensible to the membership, in writing. Change orders are reviewed on merit before they're paid. Progress is verified before money moves. The board receives a monthly report it can share with owners — plain language, current numbers, decisions documented. Your engineer's directives get an execution partner; your property manager gets a project counterpart; your counsel gets organized facts. And when owners ask "how do we know this was handled properly?" — the file answers.
We coordinate with your licensed engineer and contractors; design judgment stays with the engineer, construction stays with the contractors, and both stay accountable, through us, to the board.
