Condition survey

$8,500–$10,500

USD per survey engagement; buildings covered must be confirmed

In this edition, a condition survey in Northwest Florida carries a planning interval of $8,500–$10,500 per survey engagement. Use this interval to start a scope discussion. It does not define a standard building size, service minimum or complete project budget.

• Indicative planning guidance, not a measured market distribution or an offer.
• Geographic lookup does not establish a locally observed price.
• Actual fees can fall outside this interval after scope is defined.

The service tier, initial or update status, site visit, sampling, credential, minimum fee and building basis are not established by this benchmark. Where a scope detail is not listed here, it is unknown, not excluded.

Where a condition survey sits in Florida law

A condition survey is not the milestone inspection required by Florida Statutes section 553.899. That section requires a condominium or cooperative building of three habitable stories or more to have a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year the building reaches 30 years of age, or 25 years where the local enforcement agency requires it (for example near salt water), and every 10 years after that. Phase one is a visual examination by a Florida-licensed architect or engineer; phase two, a more detailed inspection, is required only if phase one finds signs of substantial structural deterioration. If a proposal is meant to satisfy that requirement, the written scope should say so.
