Along the way, we work closely with contractors to answer questions and keep the project moving according to schedule without blowing the budget.

Before buying or leasing a commercial property, clients need a property condition assessment to verify the current condition of the property. This is a formal process to help assess the value of the building and property and is typically required to complete the transaction. We provide a very thorough inspection and document important information on the property that may eventually be used for insurance claims or to assess potential repairs or renovations that will be needed before the property can be fully used for its intended purpose. Our inspection teams are assisted by FAA-licensed drone pilots to ensure that nothing is missed.

Our team has expert-level qualifications in multiple engineering disciplines and will work tirelessly to work out a creative solution to even the most challenging design problems.
