Coastal Environment and Flood Risk - The city's proximity to the ocean means elevated foundations, flood insurance, and special storm-resistant materials are all commonplace.
Hurricane-Resistant Construction - Structures must withstand high winds and violent storms.
Stormwater and Drainage Compliance - Virginia Beach enforces the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act which places limits on impervious surfaces, maintains tree saving requirements, and aims to retain stormwater.
Sandy Soils - Sandy soil requires deeper footings or engineered slabs to prevent shifting.
Labor Availability - There is a high demand for labor due to growth and tourism.
High Costs - Design, construction, and labor costs are all increased due to high demand and rising inflation.
The engineers at Building Reserves understand the unique challenges of property maintenance in Virginia Beach, from hurricanes and flooding to sandy soils and rising costs. With deep local Virginia Beach expertise, our team helps property owners plan for long-term costs and avoid unexpected repairs through strategic, data-driven maintenance solutions.
