Services
Commercial Building Inspection
Our Commercial Building Inspections evaluate structural integrity, mechanical systems, and regulatory compliance for commercial properties. Licensed engineers identify maintenance needs and repair costs while assessing building performance. Clients receive detailed reports with actionable recommendations for property management and investment decisions.
Environmental Site Assessment
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments identify potential contamination risks and regulatory compliance issues for commercial properties. Our engineers follow ASTM standards to evaluate environmental liabilities during real estate transactions. Reports help clients understand site history and mitigate potential environmental hazards.
Reserve Study
Reserve Studies analyze long-term maintenance needs for homeowner associations, projecting repair/replacement costs over 20 years. Engineers assess building components to create funding plans that ensure financial preparedness for major repairs and capital improvements.
Construction Engineering
Construction Engineering services include document reviews, quality assurance, and on-site monitoring for building projects. Our engineers verify construction compliance with design specifications while identifying potential issues before they become costly problems during development.
Cost Segregation Study
Cost Segregation Studies identify assets eligible for accelerated depreciation to reduce tax liability for commercial property owners. Engineers analyze building components to optimize depreciation schedules while maintaining IRS compliance for real estate investments.
