Turnover Inspections in Florida
Property Condition Assessments, Transition Studies and Phase I ESA Services
Florida's Turnover Inspection Specialists
Florida Engineering LLC provides turnover inspections and transition studies for associations, property owners, and developers throughout Florida. These assessments document property conditions at a transition and support planning for maintenance and repairs. Share the property details, available records, and the purpose of the assessment so we can review the scope. Our team also performs Phase I environmental site assessments.

Whether you need an HOA transition study at developer turnover or a detailed Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) analysis for a commercial property transaction due diligence, we offer end-to-end solutions tailored to Florida’s unique environmental and regulatory landscape.
What We Offer
- Condition assessments tailored to the property and the purpose of the report.
- Engineering findings and reporting within the agreed scope.
- Clear documentation of observations, limitations, and recommended follow-up.
Developer Turnover and Condominium Conversion
Developer turnover transfers control of an association; conversion creates condominium ownership from existing improvements. They involve different reports and requirements. Florida Engineering provides the engineering assessments appropriate to the assignment.
For condominium turnover reporting, see section 718.301(4). For conversion disclosure reports, see section 718.616. An HOA transition assessment must be scoped for that association rather than assumed to follow the condominium provisions.
Property Condition Assessment (PCA) Inspections
A Property Condition Assessment documents observed building and site conditions, available records, and estimated costs within an agreed scope. ASTM E2018-24 provides a baseline PCA process; the assessment purpose, intended users, exclusions, and any expanded services should be stated in the proposal. It is not an exhaustive code audit or a guarantee against concealed defects.
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
Our team performs Phase I environmental site assessments, including records review, interviews, and site reconnaissance to evaluate recognized environmental conditions. For assignments intended to meet All Appropriate Inquiries, EPA recognizes ASTM E1527-21. The agreed scope must identify the applicable standard and intended use.
A Phase I ESA does not itself include soil or groundwater sampling and does not guarantee liability protection. Any further investigation is a separately scoped assignment.
Transition Study
A transition study documents common-element conditions around a change in association control and identifies maintenance or repair concerns within the agreed scope. A reserve study provides cost and funding analysis. These services can be coordinated, but the reports are not interchangeable.
