Building Restoration
Building Restoration in South Florida
One coordinated restoration program for an aging building — concrete, façades, balconies, garages and the envelope sequenced together under the engineer's documents, not as disconnected trade packages.
Whole-building program
When the scope crosses several systems, coordination is the service.
An engineer's report rarely lands on one element. It may cover façade concrete, balcony stacks, a garage, joints, waterproofing and coatings at the same time. Building restoration organizes those scopes into one sequenced, documented program.
CONCRE prices, plans access, phases and executes the approved scope across systems, tracks quantities by location and assembles one close-out record. The Florida PE or Engineer of Record evaluates the building, diagnoses causes and specifies every repair.
This page is the umbrella for multi-system work. Element-specific detail lives on the dedicated façade, concrete, balcony, garage, envelope and Milestone repair pages linked below.
CONCRE observes, maps and quantifies. The Florida PE evaluates, diagnoses and specifies.
Why a program
Signs a building needs a coordinated scope, not single repairs.
These are planning signals for the board and the engineer, not diagnoses.
Findings across several elements
A report identifies repairs on façades, balconies, garages and roofs or decks at the same time.
Repeated localized repairs
Patches, sealant and paint have been applied to the same areas over successive cycles.
Shared access
Several scopes need the same swing stages, lifts, protection or resident notices.
Envelope interfaces
Concrete repairs will disturb stucco, joints, coatings or waterproofing that must be reinstated.
Milestone or SIRS timelines
Engineer findings and reserve planning require a sequenced, budget-aware execution plan.
Occupied building constraints
Residents, tenants, parking and entrances must remain usable while work proceeds.
Systems coordinated
What a building restoration program can combine.
Each element is included only where the engineer's documents and contract identify it.
Structural concrete repair
Spalling, delamination and reinforcement-related repairs to the issued details.
Façade restoration
Vertical exterior systems: concrete, stucco, slab edges, sealants and coatings.
Balconies and slab edges
Stack-by-stack edge, soffit, railing-interface and deck work.
Parking structures
Deck, ramp, beam and column repairs with joints and traffic coatings where specified.
Building envelope and waterproofing
Continuity of the water-management layers around the repairs.
Close-out documentation
One reconciled record of locations, quantities, photographs and completed work.
Sequencing
Structure first, then envelope, then finish — across the whole building.
Running scopes in the right order avoids opening finished work and duplicating access.
A coordinated program lets concrete repair, envelope reinstatement and coatings follow each other on the same elevation and the same access, rather than returning months later with a different contractor.
Phasing by elevation, stack or garage level is planned with management so the building stays operational. CONCRE serves Miami-Dade County, Broward County and Palm Beach County.
Execution
How a multi-system program runs.
- 01
Document review
Engineer's report, drawings, specifications and repair details reviewed by system.
- 02
Program plan
Scopes, access, phasing and resident coordination organized into one schedule.
- 03
Location mapping
Consistent location IDs across façades, balconies and garage levels.
- 04
Repair execution
Each system executed to the issued documents, with field conditions reported to the EOR.
- 05
Envelope reinstatement
Stucco, sealants, waterproofing and coatings restored where specified.
- 06
Reconciled close-out
Quantities and photographs reconciled into one package for review.
Before pricing
What the board or manager should have ready.
- Current engineer's report, drawings and specifications for every system in scope
- Milestone, SIRS or reserve-study information relevant to timing
- Repair history and previous contractor close-out records
- Access constraints for roofs, garages, balconies and entrances
- Desired phasing, blackout dates and operational limits
- Bid form, allowances and unit-price structure

Questions
Building restoration questions.
- What is building restoration?
- A coordinated restoration program that combines several building systems — such as structural concrete, façades, balconies, parking structures and the building envelope — into one sequenced and documented scope executed under the Engineer of Record's documents.
- How is it different from façade or concrete restoration?
- Façade restoration focuses on vertical exterior systems and concrete restoration on material deterioration and reinforcement-related repair. Building restoration is the umbrella used when a project crosses several of those systems and needs one coordinated plan.
- Does CONCRE decide what the building needs?
- No. The Florida PE or Engineer of Record evaluates the building, diagnoses causes and specifies the repairs. CONCRE prices, plans and executes the approved scope.
- Can the program be phased over time?
- Yes. Scopes can be phased by elevation, stack, garage level or budget period, subject to the engineer's priorities and the contract.
- Where does CONCRE work?
- CONCRE serves Miami-Dade County, Broward County and Palm Beach County.

Milestone inspection repairs
What Happens After a Florida Milestone Inspection Identifies Concrete Repairs?
The inspection tells a board what a licensed professional observed. It does not tell the board how much repair there is, what it should cost, or how the work will be documented. This is the sequence between the report and the close-out package.
Preventive building preservation
Don't Wait 30 Years: Why Concrete Condition Reviews Should Start Before Florida's Milestone Inspection
Milestone Inspection is a regulatory milestone. Building preservation is a continuous process. A condition-informed review cycle can help boards establish a baseline, recognize change and organize the right response before statutory age.
Quantity control
How Are Concrete Repair Quantities Measured? From Inspection to Final Repair
You cannot control what you cannot quantify. Concrete repair quantities move from estimated to identified, verified and repaired. This guide explains how each stage is measured, documented and approved so owners can follow the scope with evidence.
