Our primary services include: Construction Loan Monitoring & Due Diligence; Property Condition Reports; Review of Plans & Specifications; Site Observation Reports; Sustainability Services; and Owner’s Representation & Development.

Property Condition Reports – Property Condition Assessments:

An assessment of all observable site and building components, thus helping to determine both the current condition of all components and categorize future capital improvement estimates into critical, immediate, short-term, and long-term estimations. At your request, this report can be written in accordance with ASTM, HUD Mark to Market, Freddie Mac, or other specific guidelines.

The observations shall be summarized in a detailed Report with recommendations for immediate corrective work, near term and a Replacement Reserve Analysis.

The PCR/PCA will report on the status of the major building components including but not limited to:

Site work (topography, storm water drainage, access, egress, paving, curbing, parking, flatwork, landscaping, recreational facilities)
Utilities (water, electricity, natural gas, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, special utility systems, on-site generation)

We visit the site in conjunction with Applications for Payment or as directed by the Bank to review the progress of the work and report on the following:

Quality of construction and standard of workmanship.
Compliance with the approved plans and specifications.
Anticipated labor stoppage and material shortages that could adversely affect the completion of the project.
Review change orders.
