Licensed Structural
Inspections That Protect
Your Building
PE-signed structural inspection reports for commercial buildings, condominiums, multifamily properties, and luxury residences across South Florida. Fast turnaround, municipality-accepted reports.
Expert Eyes on Your
Building's Structure
A structural inspection by a licensed Professional Engineer is often required by law — for building recertification, permits, insurance, real estate transactions, or when a building shows signs of distress. At GCE, every inspection is performed or directly supervised by Alioskar Ganem, PE, and backed by a complete signed-and-sealed engineering report.
We inspect commercial buildings, condominiums, multifamily residential, retail spaces, and private residences across Miami-Dade and Broward County — delivering clear, actionable reports that municipalities, insurance carriers, and lenders accept.

What Our Structural
Engineers Evaluate
A thorough GCE structural inspection covers every critical building system — nothing is overlooked.
Foundation & Slab
Settlement, cracking, undermining, drainage issues, and slab integrity assessment.
Structural Frame
Columns, beams, load-bearing walls, and connections — concrete, steel, masonry, and wood.
Roof Structure
Trusses, rafters, ridge beams, and roof deck — condition, connections, and load capacity.
Balconies & Walkways
Concrete spalling, rebar corrosion, waterproofing failure, and guardrail anchorage.
Concrete Condition
Spalling, delamination, rebar exposure, corrosion staining, and carbonation assessment.
Water Intrusion & Damage
Moisture infiltration, efflorescence, waterproofing failure, and structural impact evaluation.
Exterior Envelope
Facade, cladding, window anchorage, and wind-resistance components per Florida Building Code.
Code Compliance Review
Assessment against current Florida Building Code and local municipality standards.
Required, Recommended,
or Just Smart to Do
Structural inspections are legally required in many situations in South Florida — and strongly recommended in many others.
Condo & HOA Associations
Required for building recertification (40/50/60-year), Milestone Inspection compliance, and SIRS. Avoid fines and legal liability with a timely PE inspection.
Commercial Property Owners
Municipality-required recertifications, insurance renewals, and pre-sale due diligence. A PE-signed structural report protects your investment.
Contractors & Developers
Pre-construction assessments, existing structure evaluations before additions, and inspection letters for permit applications.
Homebuyers & Sellers
Know exactly what you're buying or selling. A licensed structural engineer's report provides certainty that a home inspector's report cannot.
A Report That Municipalities
and Insurers Accept
Every GCE inspection results in a complete, professionally prepared engineering report — not a checklist, not a template.
Full Written Engineering Report
Detailed narrative of findings, conditions observed, and engineering conclusions — written by a licensed PE and accepted by all South Florida municipalities.
Photo Documentation
Comprehensive photographic evidence of all structural elements inspected — with annotations identifying areas of concern.
PE Signature & Seal
Every report is signed and sealed by Alioskar Ganem, PE — a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer. No report leaves our office without it.

When deficiencies are found, our report includes clear repair recommendations and — when needed — we can provide the engineering drawings to fix them.
