Services
Property Condition Assessments
Our Property Condition Assessments provide comprehensive due diligence reviews of existing properties. We evaluate physical condition, identify deferred maintenance, and estimate repair costs while considering industry limitations. Our reports include detailed descriptions, photographic documentation, and improvement recommendations to help lenders understand facility management requirements.
Seismic Risk Evaluations
Probable Maximum Loss (PML) Reports assess seismic risks based on construction type, structural condition, soil composition, and seismic hazard zones. These evaluations help determine ownership risk for structures by analyzing potential earthquake damage scenarios. Our reports provide critical information for lenders assessing property risk exposure in seismically active regions.
Project Reviews
Initial Project Reviews evaluate construction feasibility through budget analysis, design review, and contract verification. We assess project viability by comparing proposed budgets with market rates, reviewing construction documents for constructability, and ensuring third-party recommendations are incorporated into project designs.
Fund Control Services
Our Construction Disbursement Controls manage loan funds through invoice verification, lien waiver tracking, and budget monitoring. We ensure proper fund allocation by reviewing monthly requests, validating work completion percentages, and maintaining documentation compliance. This service provides lenders with financial transparency and project control.
Receivership Management
We specialize in resolving distressed construction projects through comprehensive audits and risk management strategies. Our services include project file analysis, budget reviews, and implementation of corrective action plans.
