Commercial structures can vary widely in type, and tend to be more complex. Make sure your consultant has the extensive knowledge needed.
What do we look for when assessing commercial properties?
We will adhere to ASTM E2018 Standards of Practice (American Society for Testing and Materials) when we assess the five major systems of the building: the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing and the HVAC packages (depending our how many in each system, we may only do a sampling), as well as examine the interiors (windows, outlets, walls, floors, bathroom and eating area), exteriors and grounds. We will also gather information on the structure of the building and drainage, as well as do a limited environmental, make general notes on any elevators and check certification, and make notes on ADA compliancy.
We will also:
- Check the parking facilities and/or garage structure
- Look for safety issues/hazards
- Provide life expectancy on systems
- Cost to Cure on anything which may cost over $3,000
- Include a 5-Year Cost Assessment on buildings over 10,000 sq ft
How you could benefit from an assessment on your property:
- Discover structural or system defects to aid in lease or purchase negotiations.
