Engaging the stringent standards set forth in ASTM E2018 for Property Condition Assessment, our dedicated team in Detroit, Michigan, operating under Partner Engineering and Science, conducts in-depth evaluations of properties, leaving no stone unturned.
Partner’s Detroit-based squad is a blend of accredited engineers, experienced architects, and skilled commercial building inspectors. When you choose Partner for a Property Condition Assessment, you’re assured of a thorough investigation into your building’s integral systems. Our assessment spans a comprehensive visual inspection covering everything from the site and structures to mechanical components (such as HVAC, conveyance systems, and plumbing), electrical setups, structural stability, exterior facades, roofing, interior finishes, and overall site amenities.
Partner’s scrutiny extends to evaluating site enhancements, reviewing their current condition, compliance with general codes, cost projections over their lifespan, suitability for their intended purpose, and identification of any existing flaws. Our evaluations are based on the condition of these enhancements at the time of assessment.
Partner’s methodology involves a meticulous examination of on-site maintenance records, architectural plans, and any proposed future upgrades. Additionally, we delve into municipal building department archives and conduct interviews with on-site engineering and management staff. Providing comprehensive site-related information is crucial for us to conduct a comprehensive analysis and offer precise recommendations.
The detailed reports from Partner’s Detroit team range from 15- to 30-pages, incorporating an extensive “Immediate Repairs Table.” This table outlines necessary repairs related to life safety concerns, failing building systems, and deferred maintenance requiring expenditures exceeding $2,000 for repair or replacement. Moreover, we create a “Replacement Capital Reserve Table,” estimating major capital expenses expected over the next 12 years. Each section of the report meticulously evaluates the condition of every building system and suggests necessary improvements.
