Need to fix an unsafe structure? Do you need to get your building certified? At BG Construction & Development we take the necessary steps to turn an unsafe structure into a safe one. Miami law restricts the use of any unsafe building: all such buildings must be repaired and their owners must re-apply for a certificate of occupancy.

An unsafe-structure case is a legal process with a construction problem attached to it. There are deadlines, hearings and daily fines, and the fastest way through is a documented repair plan filed by a contractor who has done it before. We work directly with the engineer of record and the unsafe-structures panel so the file closes rather than drifts.
