Regency Plaza Condominium
Ormond By The Sea

This technically challenging project called for the latest corrosion control techniques and new anodized doors and windows complying with the latest wind resistance requirements of the Florida Building Code.

The building suffered badly from water intrusion during the hurricane season of '04 and the Board of Directors made a commitment to upgrading the structure so the problems are never repeated.  One of the major problems was the original doors and windows, which generally were in poor shape.  

The initial phase involved the east facing cantilevered balconies.  During demolition activities it was noted that the reinforcing steel was unusually spaced and the consulting engineer ran calculations and established that the balconies required strengthening.  The engineer presented different ideas to the Board and the use of state of the art carbon fiber was preferred by the condo's Board of Directors.
