BIM Services in Florida
Since the Surfside collapse, Florida law requires structural inspections of condo buildings three stories and taller once they reach 30 years old, and repairs must start within a year of a detailed inspection report. Many older coastal buildings now face concrete, balcony and façade repairs, carried out while residents stay at home. Optimar Precon provides BIM services in Florida for engineers and contractors on those repairs, as well as for new projects across the state.
- Existing condo towers modeled from laser scans
- Repair areas mapped floor by floor and elevation by elevation
- MEP and structural models for new coastal construction

Know the Building Before You Price the Repair
Concrete restoration on an occupied coastal tower is hard to scope: drawings are often missing or out of date, and every balcony and column is slightly different. A scan-based model gives engineers and contractors one accurate picture of the building to mark up, measure and phase from.
Accurate base model
Façades, balconies and parking structures modeled from point clouds.
Repair locations
Engineer-identified repairs tagged on the model by floor and elevation.
Quantities for bids
Repair areas and lengths pulled from the model for pricing.

BIM coordination →What Florida Teams Receive
For structural engineers, restoration contractors and builders.
Existing building model
Structure and envelope as they stand.
Elevation drawings
Accurate façades for marking up repair locations.
Repair schedules
Repair items listed by location from the model.
Phasing views
Work by stack or elevation, so residents can stay.
Coordinated MEP models
For new towers and major renovations.
As-built updates
The model updated after repairs for future inspections.
Milestone inspections, reserve studies and repair design must be carried out by Florida-licensed engineers or architects. We provide modeling and drawing support to them.

BIM Services in Florida: FAQs
Can you model an existing condo building for repairs?
Yes. We model façades, balconies, slabs and parking structures from laser scans, so engineers can map repairs accurately.
Do you carry out milestone inspections or reserve studies?
No. Those must be done by Florida-licensed engineers or architects. We support them with models, drawings and quantities.
Can repair quantities come from the model?
Yes. Once repair items are tagged, we can schedule areas, lengths and counts by floor and elevation for bidding.
Do you work on new Florida construction too?
Yes. We model and coordinate structure and MEP for new residential towers, hotels and healthcare buildings.
How do I get a quote?
Email support@optimarprecon.com or call +1 (469) 210-7530 with your scan or drawings. We send a fixed fee and timeline.
