We also provide professional evaluations  regarding specific equipment or structural components.

Property condition assessments (PCA) apply the ASTM E2018 standards guideline for due diligence baseline property condition assessments. The guideline covers documentation reviews and interviews, on site walk-through survey, and preparation of probable costs to remedy physical deficiencies ($3,000 per incident or $10,000 in aggregate) resulting in a (PCR) property condition report as outline in the standards. ASTM E2018 Standards Overview

Property condition reports (PCR) apply the ASTM E2018 guidelines resulting in a finished report presented in a way that is clear and easy to interpret. Reports include photo documentation along with major mechanical equipment condition schedules including their age, life expectancy and repair/replacement cost (limited to items exceeding the ASTM E-2018 thresholds for assessments unless reduced prior to walk-through). This will be helpful in determining future expenses and capital budgets.

The ASTM E2018 standard outlines procedures for reducing the scope of the property condition assessment, recognizing that some projects have time and/or budget constraints. If you want to reduce the scope of your assessment, just let us know at the time of your quote request.

Commercial property inspections tend to generally be more detailed and invasive than property condition assessments. Inspections can include dismantling and testing of accessible HVAC units, furnaces, electric service panels, elevator equipment rooms, and other systems in lieu of interviews used in property condition assessments. The ASTM threshold for costs to remedy deficiencies can  be reduced or eliminated so that smaller non standard maintenance deficiencies can be addressed in the cost to remedy section. Let us know if you are interested in an inspection at the time of your quote request.
