Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village, chartered in 1959, and it runs its own Building Division at Village Hall on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard. That decides where a defect review begins: the permit, the plans on file and the inspection sequence for a Royal Palm Beach property are Village records, not Palm Beach County Building Division records. Reading them first shows what was approved, who pulled the permit and which inspections were passed before the dispute began.
The code side is as local. The whole village sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, so replacement windows, doors and roofs have to be impact-rated or protected to an approved standard, and the installation has to match the product approval. When an owner says a window leaks or a roof failed early, whether the product and the way it was fastened matched that approval is usually the technical heart of the matter.
1. First call. You describe the dispute, the address and what has been done. Nothing is promised until the scope is clear.
2. Records and site walk. The Village permit history, inspection record, contract scope and any manufacturer or code specification are read before the work is inspected in person.
3. Written findings. What was found, the standard it was measured against and what it means, with photographs, in a form an attorney or adjuster can use.

Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village with its own Building Division at Village Hall on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, so the permit record for a property there sits with the Village, not with the Palm Beach County Building Division. A defect review starts by pulling that record and the inspection sequence.
He inspects the disputed work, reads it against the Florida Building Code, the Village permit record and the manufacturer's installation requirements, and documents what was found and why it matters. The role is technical. Legal conclusions stay with the attorney.
Yes. Royal Palm Beach sits in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, so replacement openings and new construction have to be impact-rated or protected to an approved standard. When a window, door or roof is in dispute, whether the product and its installation matched the approval is a central technical question.
The older sections, such as the Colony, the Willows and La Mancha, were built out from the 1960s through the 1980s, so questions there are often about aged roofs, original windows and repairs layered over old work. The gated communities of the 2000s, such as Madison Green, raise questions about workmanship, water intrusion and the HOA's repair obligations.
A blower door test measures how much air a building leaks at a known pressure, so a comfort or energy complaint rests on a number instead of an opinion. Whether the result is usable in a given case is a question for the attorney.
Either. Many matters start as a private consulting review so the attorney can decide whether the claim has technical merit. A testifying expert is disclosed to the other side and may give a written report or testimony.
No. He is not an attorney and does not give legal advice. The work is construction and code expertise offered in support of a legal or dispute process.
