Florida SB 4-D
Building Safety Law

Florida’s condo safety landscape has seen significant shifts in the past year. These changes began with 2022’s SB 4-D, which was hastily passed in response to the collapse of the Champlain Towers South Condominium in Surfside, Florida. Originally focused on inspections, reserves, and transparency, the updated SB 154 of 2023 introduces key changes for condominiums and co-ops three stories or taller, as well as clarifying multiple items from the previous law.

Mass Timber
CLT + Glulam Building

As engineers, we play an important role in shaping the built environment – from developing structural designs with a sensitivity for architectural aesthetics to choosing the best material types for those designs. 

Versatile, attractive, and sustainable, the potential of mass timber in new construction across Florida is capturing the imaginations of building professionals and sustainability advocates alike. Whether building tall structures or sprawling long-span complexes, the use of mass timber enables the development of high-performance buildings that are exceptionally strong, have a lower carbon footprint than concrete, are lighter and stronger than steel, and are able to achieve similar fire resistance ratings.
