Minutes: The scope of work will be provided as applicable based on Florida Statute (F.S.) 287.055(g) “…whereby the Consultant provides professional services to the Owner for the projects in which construction costs do not exceed $1,000,000, for study activity when the fee for such professional services does not exceed $50,000.
Threshold inspections are those inspections performed on structural components of a threshold building. A threshold building is defined as any building which is greater than three stories or 50 feet in height, or which has an assembly occupancy classification that exceeds 5,000 square feet in area and an occupant content of greater than 500 persons.
The inspections are performed in accordance with a structural inspection plan prepared by the engineer or architect of record. This plan provides specific inspection procedures so the building can be adequately inspected for compliance with the permitted documents.The special inspector checks for conformance with design plans including use and proper placement of reinforced steel, size of members, and material specification.
Because of the additional conditions that apply in Florida, inspectors also inspect windows for conformance with wind pressure specifications, and to ensure that they are fastened to building substrate according to product approvals. Inspections of the shoring and reshoring for conformance with the shoring and reshoring plans is also required.
Threshold building inspections are performed by a threshold inspector, certified by the State of Florida, or his duly authorized representative. The fee owner is required to pay all costs of employing a threshold inspector, but the threshold inspector shall be responsible to the enforcing agency (such as a city or county building department).
