COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTIONS

Our commercial division specializes in Property Condition Assessments of commercial buildings and our certified inspectors have vast experience and knowledge of pertinent building systems and components.

Our Property Condition Assessments comply favorably with the American Society for Testing and Material Standards (ASTM) and our goal is to identify and communicate deficiencies to our clients, with time frames and ballpark cost estimates of expected repairs. We provide accurate, easy to understand reports that are designed to educate our clients about the property inspected. The ASTM standards for baseline property assessments can be reviewed at www.astm.org.

TYPES OF PROPERTIES WE INSPECT

Properties of most descriptions are assessed including apartments, residential (multi-family), retail, office, industrial, condominium complexes and specialty buildings.

Reasons for Property Condition Assessments include:

1. 1.   Pre-Purchase
   

        Acquiring property involves uncertainties which can be stressful. As part of the process, a condition assessment of the property removes some of the unknown factors which greatly increases the chances of a successful purchase. The Property Condition Assessment will go a long way in determining the financial impact the property will have in the foreseeable future.

2. 2.   Pre-Leasing
   

A Property Condition Assessment is beneficial to both parties involved in a lease agreement by describing the condition of the property at the beginning of the lease. A second assessment can then be compared at the end of the lease. A PCA is especially important before entering a Triple Net Lease Agreement on a building more than ten years old.
