Engineering Expertise That Meets Florida's New Standards
When it comes to meeting Florida's new HB913 requirements for capital reserve studies and structural integrity reserve studies (SIRS), The Falcon Group brings a critical advantage that traditional reserve study firms cannot match: professional engineering expertise. With a proven track record of performing capital reserve studies for condominium associations throughout Florida, our team doesn't just assess your property's components—we truly understand them. Our licensed Professional Engineers (P.E.) and certified Reserve Specialists (R.S.) possess specialized knowledge in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems that form the backbone of your community's infrastructure. This engineering foundation allows us to provide significantly more accurate useful life estimates, structural assessments, and replacement cost projections than conventional reserve analysts, ensuring your association's funding plan meets Florida's stringent legal requirements while being built on technical precision rather than generalized assumptions.
HB913 Compliance Requires True Engineering Analysis
The difference becomes clear when evaluating the complex requirements of HB913, which mandates milestone structural inspections, SIRS for buildings three stories or higher, and comprehensive capital reserve funding for critical components including roofing, load-bearing elements, waterproofing, and building systems. While traditional reserve firms rely on industry averages and standard tables, The Falcon Group's engineers conduct detailed condition assessments and structural evaluations using the same rigorous standards required by Florida law. We identify structural deficiencies, verify actual quantities in the field, establish realistic reconstruction methods, and ensure your association maintains the mandatory reserve funding without the option to waive contributions. This comprehensive engineering approach minimizes the risk of underfunding, unexpected special assessments, and non-compliance penalties that could jeopardize your community's financial stability and legal standing.
