About the quality and stability of homes being build in Florida

Many people are concerned about the possible impacts that a hurricane could have on their property. Keep in mind that a direct hit by a major hurricane is an extremely rare event. The 2011 Atlantic Hurricane season produced 7 hurricanes and only 3 of those storms reached a Category 3 or higher which is an average number. Florida once again did not have any destructive weather or hurricane land fall. The likeliness for Lee County to get hit by a major storm is at only 1.4%.
When Hurricane Andrew hit the Florida east coast in 1992, Florida building officials blamed much of the destruction on the wind pressurizing the homes, then blowing off roofs and collapsing walls. To minimize property damages during future hurricanes, the code was changed to fortify buildings against wind penetration.

In relation to the structural wind resistance of buildings, manufacturers now have to demonstrate strict compliance with the area's local buidling codes. Hurricane-tolerant structures and designs are required for residential as well as commercial buidings.
Windows, French doors, and sliding doors must be protected from windborne debris by hurricane shutters or impact resistant glass and have to sustain wind forces of at least 130 miles per hour.
Another hurricane protection is the durability of concrete block homes. Concrete walls withstand flying debris from tornadoes and hurricanes and outperform their wood and steel counterparts.

Change Order
Written authorization to the contractor to make a change or addition to the work described in the original contract. The change order should reflect any changes in cost.
