We did a reserve study and it was completed in very quickly due to the HOA's request and was a more than fair price. Will be using them again for reserve studies going forward.

Our condo association has worked with FPAT on a number of projects from our SIRS, wind mitigation and property evaluation. In all projects, we found FPAT to be very thorough in their analysis and reports, very professional and easy to work with. On this last point, they truly listen to your feedback and also challenge us, as the condo association, to ensure we are making the best informed decision. Kudos to FPAT and Eric Dixon, who we worked with diligently on our SIRS.

Meet the SIRS Deadline: Act by December 31, 2025
Florida’s Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) mandate, updated under HB 913, requires condos three stories or taller to complete a reserve study by December 31, 2025. This study must cover critical components like load-bearing walls, roofs, and seawalls to ensure safety and compliance. Non-compliance risks hefty fines, legal action, and safety concerns, particularly in the wake of the Surfside tragedy. FPAT provides expedited reserve study services tailored for Fort Lauderdale condos, delivering comprehensive inspections and SIRS-compliant funding plans to meet this extended deadline. Our local expertise ensures your property is prepared for hurricanes, corrosion, and regulatory demands, giving you peace of mind.Don’t delay—the clock is ticking. For more details on reserve studies, check Condo Control’s guide to reserve study requirements.
Fort Lauderdale’s Unique Challenges
Fort Lauderdale condos face distinct risks that demand a tailored reserve study:
- Hurricane Vulnerability: The city’s coastal location increases wind and storm surge risks, with 2024 storms causing 18% higher repair costs than the state average, per insurance data.
- Saltwater Corrosion: Condos in areas like Galt Ocean Mile face rebar and concrete deterioration, reducing lifespans by 25%, per Florida engineering studies.
- Aging Infrastructure: Over 45% of Fort Lauderdale’s condos are 30+ years old, requiring robust maintenance plans, per 2025 market reports.
- Regulatory Pressure: Florida’s SIRS mandate affects 75% of Fort Lauderdale’s high-rise condos, with non-compliance risking $15,000 fines, per Chapter 718.
FPAT’s inspections and funding plans address these challenges, ensuring your condo is prepared. Learn more about Florida Statutes Chapter 718.
