40-Year Recertification. Done the way engineers want it done.

CORE Builder Group delivers the full structural restoration scope identified in the engineer's recertification report. That scope typically includes concrete spall repair, rebar replacement, post-tension repair where applicable, balcony rebuild, stair-tower restoration, waterproofing, and coordination with the electrical scope performed by a licensed electrical contractor. Our responsibility is to complete the structural work in compliance with the engineer's stamped direction, on a schedule that permits the building to submit re-inspection documentation inside the county's deadline window. A typical condominium project runs 90 to 180 days.

Recertification scopes are priced one of two ways. A lump-sum contract is used when the engineer's report is detailed enough that field conditions are well-understood and quantities are measurable. A unit-price contract is used when the scope is primarily 'repair concrete as found' — the total cost scales with quantities discovered during demolition. CORE Builder Group favors a hybrid: a lump sum for the defined scope plus agreed unit prices for concrete repair quantities, so the building knows exactly what unexpected work will cost before it happens.

Additional structural conditions are common once concrete is opened up. When they appear, the engineer of record issues a field directive describing the added scope. CORE Builder Group prices that directive against the contract unit prices, submits it to the board or owner for approval, and proceeds on written authorization. Every approved directive is tracked in a single log that becomes part of the project closeout binder — so the board has a clean record of every change and its cost.
