Ways an Owner’s Representative Mitigates Risks During Your 40-Year Recertification

The 40-year recertification process is a critical component of maintaining the safety and structural integrity of commercial properties in Miami-Dade, Broward and other Florida counties. When your building nears the 40-year mark, it’s required to undergo inspections to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Failing to meet these requirements can lead to substantial fines, delays or even more severe legal consequences.

One of the most effective ways to manage this complex process, mitigate potential risks and minimize costs is by hiring an owner’s representative. An experienced owner’s rep brings valuable expertise to the table and helps streamline the recertification process. Below are several ways in which an owner’s representative can protect your investment and ensure the process is completed efficiently, on time and within budget.

Navigating Regulatory Compliance with an Owner’s Rep

One of the most significant risks of failing to comply with the 40-year recertification requirements is that your property may not meet local building codes and safety regulations. These codes and regulations can be complex and are subject to change, which makes it difficult for property owners to stay on top of them.

An owner’s rep ensures that your property meets all local building and safety codes required for recertification. They will work closely with professional engineers and architects to evaluate your building and make necessary improvements.

Managing the Budget (and Unexpected Repair Costs)

The 40-year recertification process is often a costly undertaking, and without careful management, it’s easy for costs to spiral out of control. An owner’s rep establishes a clear and realistic budget for the entire project while considering potential repairs, inspections and additional fees.
