Building Mavens: Excellence, Engineered
In South Florida, buildings are more than concrete and steel. They are homes. They are inheritances. They are communities stacked skyward—carrying the weight of decades and the responsibility of tomorrow. After the collapse of Champlain Towers South in 2021, the conversation around building safety shifted from optional diligence to moral imperative. Laws changed. Standards tightened. Deadlines emerged. But fear was never meant to be the end state. What Florida needed—what communities needed—was clarity. This is where Building Mavens entered the picture—not as a reactionary firm chasing legislation, but as a quiet authority already grounded in the discipline of structural integrity, compliance, and foresight. Led by CEO Scott Lewis Harvey, Building Mavens has become a steady presence in a moment defined by urgency—bringing precision, calm, and confidence to an industry navigating unprecedented scrutiny.
Beyond Compliance: A Philosophy of Care
Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS) are now mandatory across Florida for multi-family residential and condominium buildings. On paper, they are studies. In practice, they are promises. A promise that what stands today will remain safe tomorrow. A promise that residents can sleep without doubt. A promise that boards and property managers can lead with confidence, not anxiety. At Building Mavens, SIRS is not treated as a checkbox exercise. It is approached as long-term stewardship—a roadmap that balances engineering rigor with financial realism and human impact. Their work answers a deeper question than “Are we compliant?”
It asks, “Are we prepared?”

The CammaneX Verdict:
Building Mavens does not simply meet the standard. They help define it.
Technology With a Human Backbone
Drones scan rooftops. Infrared thermography reveals what the naked eye cannot. Advanced diagnostics accelerate insight.
But technology is not the story—it is the instrument.
The real value lies in interpretation. In knowing what matters, what doesn’t, and what must be addressed now versus planned responsibly over time. Building Mavens understands that buildings age gradually, unevenly, and with signals that require experienced eyes to read correctly.
Their reports don’t just identify risks; they contextualize them—turning data into guidance boards and owners can actually act on.
Local Roots, Regional Accountability
As a locally owned and operated South Florida firm, Building Mavens understands the region’s unique challenges: salt-air corrosion, hurricane exposure, aging coastal infrastructure, and evolving municipal requirements. They work closely with municipalities across Miami-Dade, Broward, Martin, and Palm Beach counties, ensuring buildings meet legacy, current, and emerging regulations—including Senate Bill 154 and Florida Statute 553.899. Compliance, they understand, is never generic. It is geographic. It is contextual.
Excellence as a Long-Term Commitment
Building Mavens does not present itself as a firm for emergencies alone. It positions itself as a long-term ally—helping buildings plan, adapt, and endure. In an era where compliance deadlines tighten and trust in institutions feels fragile, their work represents something enduring: competence without arrogance, speed without sacrifice, and expertise grounded in service. They understand that buildings don’t fail all at once. Neither does trust. And so they build both—carefully, consistently, and with the kind of excellence that doesn’t need to shout to be recognized.
