An architecture and engineering firm needed full existing-conditions documentation of an abandoned 12-unit multi-family property in Gladeview, Miami, to support a renovation ahead of re-letting the units. The property had sat vacant and had been left in poor condition, visibly squatted in, and showing signs consistent with drug use, which made access and working conditions genuinely difficult across all 12 units.
Beyond the condition of the property, the site itself was split across two separate structures on the lot – a single-story building and a two-story building – meaning the survey had to account for two distinct layouts within the same visit, not one continuous footprint. Despite the state of the property, every unit needed to be accessed and captured, along with the full exterior up to the boundary, all within a single day on site.
