At Casa del Mar in St. Petersburg, Florida, a condominium community with two tower buildings and surrounding residential structures, time and environmental exposure had led to deteriorating concrete balconies and aging metal guardrails.
The condominium board of directors for the community recognized the need for restoration to improve their residents' homes' aesthetic appeal, safety, and longevity. Biller Reinhart Engineering Group, Inc. stepped in with a plan that combined creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of Florida’s coastal building challenges.
Our team approached the project with a three-phase strategy: design, bidding, and construction oversight. We developed a comprehensive project manual comprised of technical specifications and drawings that defined every aspect of the repair process, ensuring clarity for contractors and compliance with permitting requirements. Beyond simply replacing materials, our engineers meticulously evaluated the structure’s needs of the structures, factoring in modern waterproofing solutions and reinforcement techniques to enhance durability. Our goal was to ensure that every balcony and guardrail wasn’t just restored but built to withstand Florida’s elements for decades to come.
Our involvement didn’t end with design—we reviewed materials, monitored construction progress, and ensured that every detail met the highest engineering standards. We worked closely with the board, contractors, and inspectors to oversee the restoration's successful execution of the building restoration project.
