About Scott Harvey-Lewis

I didn’t set out to build a firm. I set out to raise a standard.After 20+ years in civil engineering—bridges, high-rises, litigation—I founded Building Mavens in 2022. Our mission: keep Florida’s buildings safe and sound, and call it like it is when they’re not.I’m a Professional Engineer (PE) and LEED AP. I lead a team trusted for:1. Building Safety Inspections (yes, the ones making headlines across Florida)2. Forensic Engineering & Expert Witness work (cases with $20M+ on the line)3. Consulting that actually delivers clarity, not confusion.I’ve testified in high-stakes litigation, guided owners through tough calls, and helped developers avoid costly mistakes.What drives me? Simple: solving problems, raising the bar, and protecting the people who live and work in these buildings.If you’re looking for cookie-cutter reports, I’m not your guy.If you want clarity, integrity, and straight talk—I’m in.
