The Problem
Between the Damage and the Permanent Fix, Most Property Owners Are on Their Own.
Emergency mitigation companies handle tarps, water extraction, and board-up. They cannot pull structural permits. They cannot certify repairs. Insurance carriers won't authorize structural repair payment without a licensed PE damage assessment. Unlicensed emergency contractors create non-permitted work that compromises your claim and compounds your liability.
BAM closes that gap in a single call. A Florida-licensed GC with a structural PE on staff responding 24/7, mobilizing same-day, pulling the permit, and delivering a PE-certified permanent repair with insurance documentation at closeout.
Non-permitted structural repairs must be removed and replaced before a building permit can be issued for the correct repair effectively doubling your cost. Insurance carriers routinely deny or reduce structural claims when unpermitted work is discovered. BAM's licensed, permitted, PE-certified repair is the only path to a closed permit and a settled insurance claim.
Path to Permanent, Insurable Structural Repair
WHAT ONE BAM CALL DELIVERS
Scope of Response
What BAM Responds To.
What BAM Certifies.
One licensed GC contract covers emergency mobilization, PE damage assessment, insurance documentation, emergency stabilization, permit procurement, permanent structural repair, and PE certification at closeout.
Emergency Structural Assessment
Florida-registered PE mobilizes same-day to document structural damage, classify risk level, map affected elements, and determine whether immediate stabilization is required. Assessment produces a written PE report with photographic documentation and repair quantity estimates formatted for insurance carrier submission and permit application. This is the document your adjuster needs before authorizing any structural repair payment.
Emergency Shoring & Stabilization
PE-designed temporary shoring systems for compromised columns, beams, slabs, and wall structures installed before permanent repair design and permitting proceed. Shoring prevents progressive failure and protects occupants and adjacent structures. BAM designs, installs, maintains, and removes shoring as part of the single GC contract. Shoring scope and cost are documented in the PE report for inclusion in the insurance claim.
Hurricane & Storm Damage Repair
Structural repair of wind-damaged concrete, masonry, and framing systems after hurricane or tropical storm events. PE-stamped scope covers wall repair and reconstruction, roof-to-wall connection restoration, structural re-certification, and wind uplift compliance documentation. BAM is experienced with post-storm expedited permit tracks in all three South Florida counties minimizing the window between storm event and permitted permanent repair.
Vehicle Impact Structural Repair
Structural restoration of columns, spandrel beams, parking garage walls, foundation elements, and building facades damaged by vehicle collision. PE assessment defines section loss, load redistribution risk, and shoring requirements before repair design proceeds. Common in parking garages, ground-floor retail, and drive-through structures. PE-certified repair restores structural capacity and documents the pre- and post-repair condition for the at-fault party's insurance carrier.
Post-Fire Structural Assessment & Repair
Structural assessment and repair after fire exposure. Includes concrete strength assessment using color-change mapping, cover cracking, and rebound hammer testing fire compromises concrete strength before visible damage is apparent. PE-classified damage states determine which structural elements require demolition and replacement versus repair. Repair scope is PE-designed, permitted, and certified for structural re-occupancy, coordinating with your insurance carrier and the building department's fire damage inspection process.
Flood & Hydrostatic Failure Repair
Structural restoration after flood infiltration, hydrostatic pressure failure, storm surge inundation, or sustained water infiltration events. Addresses foundation settlement, wall displacement and cracking, slab uplift, and waterproofing system failure under emergency conditions. PE assessment distinguishes cosmetic water damage (outside BAM's scope) from structural distress requiring permitted repair preventing premature re-occupancy of compromised structures and protecting the property owner from future liability.
Structural Assessment
What You See
Is Never the Whole Story.
Visible damage markers cracking, deflection, wall rotation — indicate structural events that have already redistributed load. BAM's PE assessment defines actual damage state, occupancy risk, and stabilization requirements before any repair decision is made.

Our Process
Emergency Call
to PE Closeout
Licensed GC manages every phase from first response. No mitigation hand-off. No separate GC for the structural permit. One PE from damage assessment to closeout certification.
24/7 Emergency Call Response
BAM's licensed GC and PE team responds within hours, 7 days a week. The first call establishes whether emergency mobilization is needed immediately or whether a next-available site visit is appropriate. For active structural distress, visible collapse risk, post-hurricane conditions, or vehicle impact events with compromised structural elements, PE mobilizes same-day. Call (941) 204-3306 at any hour.
On-Site PE Damage Assessment & Insurance Documentation
Florida-registered structural PE conducts full site documentation: damage mapping, structural photography, load path analysis, and ASCE 41 damage state classification. The written PE assessment report includes cause-of-loss narrative, affected structural element inventory, preliminary repair quantity estimates, and shoring recommendations formatted for immediate submission to your insurance carrier and for use in the permit application. This is the document your adjuster requires before authorizing structural repair payment.
Emergency Stabilization & Shoring (If Required)
Where structural elements are compromised and require immediate intervention, BAM installs PE-designed temporary shoring before permanent repair design and permitting proceed. Shoring is designed to OSHA 1926 Subpart Q requirements, documented in the PE report, and included in insurance claim documentation as a covered emergency measure. Shoring remains in place under BAM maintenance until the permanent repair is complete and PE-inspected.
Expedited Permit Procurement
BAM submits the structural repair permit application as licensed GC in emergency conditions. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach all operate expedited review tracks for post-storm and structural distress repairs BAM has established relationships with each county's building department and manages submissions, reviews, and responses. In active storm recovery conditions, counties activate disaster protocols that further accelerate permit issuance. The property owner does not interface with the building department.
Permanent Structural Repair & PE Closeout
Permitted repair executed per PE-stamped drawings with PE in-progress and final inspections. County permit closed. Closeout package delivered to property owner or HOA board includes: county permit final inspection sign-off, PE structural compliance letter certifying repair per stamped drawings, as-built documentation, material certifications, and an insurance settlement support package with documented before-and-after structural condition. Shoring is removed as part of permanent repair closeout.
Who BAM Serves
Every Property Type.
Every Emergency Event.
Emergency structural events don't sort by building type or calendar. BAM's licensed GC and PE team responds to residential, commercial, HOA, and government structures across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach any hour, any event type.
Post-storm and post-event structural damage to common elements parking garages, podium decks, perimeter walls, and building facades. BAM provides board-ready damage assessment documentation and manages the insurance claim structural documentation from initial PE report through PE compliance letter at repair closeout. 40/50-year recertification integration available where applicable.
Emergency structural events affecting retail, office, hotel, and mixed-use structures. Vehicle impacts, storm damage, fire aftermath, and foundation distress. BAM mobilizes PE assessment to document damage for insurance claims and executes permitted structural repair under a single GC contract minimizing business interruption and liability exposure. PE-stamped documentation supports lender and tenant structural compliance requirements.
Emergency structural response for municipal buildings, parking facilities, and government-owned structures. BAM is SAM.gov registered and Miller Act bonded capable of emergency response on public facilities with prevailing wage documentation and federal procurement requirements. Storm damage to government structures often activates FEMA Public Assistance programs that require licensed PE documentation for reimbursement eligibility.
Most property and casualty insurance carriers require a licensed structural PE assessment before authorizing payment for structural repair claims. An assessment from an unlicensed contractor or a mitigation company without PE credentials is not sufficient for structural damage authorization carriers routinely request PE-stamped documentation before releasing funds. BAM's emergency response includes a formal PE damage assessment letter with photographic documentation, cause-of-loss narrative, and repair scope estimate formatted for your carrier's structural claim requirements. This protects your claim, prevents scope disputes with the adjuster, and eliminates the gap between damage event and authorized repair start.

FAQ
Common Questions
First, ensure the safety of occupants. If there is visible deflection, wall leaning, roof sag, or any condition suggesting imminent collapse, evacuate the affected area and contact the local building department to have a structural inspector respond they can issue an occupancy restriction if warranted. Once the immediate life-safety situation is controlled, call BAM at (941) 204-3306 or 1-844-SEA-WALL. BAM's PE will mobilize to perform the licensed structural assessment, document conditions for your insurance claim, and define the stabilization and repair scope. Do not allow unlicensed contractors to begin emergency repairs before a PE has assessed the structure — non-permitted structural work creates insurance claim complications and may require removal before a proper permit can be issued.
Yes. BAM's licensed GC and PE team is available 24/7 for emergency structural events. Call (941) 204-3306 at any hour. For active structural distress, post-storm conditions, vehicle impact events, or any situation where occupancy is at risk, PE mobilizes same-day or within hours depending on location and conditions. For urgent situations that are not immediately life-threatening — a new crack pattern observed after a storm, water infiltration through a structural wall, post-fire condition assessment BAM will evaluate remotely based on photographs and schedule a first-available site visit, typically the following morning.
BAM's emergency response includes a formal PE damage assessment report with photographic documentation, cause-of-loss narrative, and preliminary repair scope formatted for your carrier's structural claim requirements. Most property and casualty carriers require a licensed PE assessment before authorizing structural repair payment. BAM's PE report gives your adjuster the documentation they need to process the structural portion of the claim and prevents disputes about scope. For commercial and condominium properties, BAM can coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster and risk management team throughout the claim and repair process. BAM does not act as a public adjuster — our role is the structural assessment and repair, with documentation that supports your claim.
Emergency and expedited permit tracks are available in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach for post-storm and structural distress conditions. BAM submits same-day in emergency conditions and manages the county review process. Permit issuance time varies by county and damage type typically 48 hours to 5 business days on an expedited track for straightforward structural repairs. In active storm recovery periods, counties activate disaster protocols that accelerate permit issuance further. For emergency shoring and stabilization, BAM can begin that work immediately under the licensed GC's authority while the permanent repair permit is processing. BAM keeps the property owner informed of permit status throughout.
Emergency shoring is PE-designed temporary structural support installed to prevent progressive failure of a compromised structural element a damaged column, a partially failed beam, a wall that has lost lateral support — while permanent repair design and permitting proceed. Shoring systems are designed to OSHA 1926 Subpart Q load and access requirements and are installed, maintained, and removed by BAM as part of the single GC contract. Shoring remains in place until the permanent repair is complete and PE-inspected, then is removed as part of the repair closeout. Shoring scope and cost are documented in the PE assessment report and included in insurance claim documentation as a covered emergency protective measure.
