I provide commercial inspection and building consulting services, from small storefronts to multi-unit office or industrial-type properties. Whether you’re an owner, buyer, realtor, bank, lender, or investor, I can help you gain a thorough understanding of the property and remove a significant amount of uncertainty in your decision-making.

Property Condition Assessments

I offer Property Condition Assessments, in-depth Engineering Evaluations, Environmental Surveys, as well as any combination of my general building inspection services.

I follow the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards for PCA. PCA should include the following in order to provide "good commercial and customary practice":

• Documentation review and interviews
• Walk-through survey
• Preparation of opinions of probable costs to remedy physical deficiencies.
• Creation of Property Condition Report (PCR).

A typical Property Condition Report includes:

• Opinions of probable costs only for repairs likely to exceed $3,000. These costs should be for immediate repairs (within one year) and for short-term repairs (within one to two years).
• Estimates of remaining useful life for building components.
• Photographs of typical building elevations, major systems and major deficiencies noted.

For many commercial clients a baseline Property Condition Assessment (PCA) provides valuable insight into the general condition of the building and its major systems.
