In the Hartford-Rocky Hill, Connecticut area, Partner Engineering and Science specializes in comprehensive Property Condition Assessments, adhering strictly to the guidelines outlined in ASTM E2018. Our dedicated team in Rocky Hill, serving the broader Hartford region, comprises certified engineers, architects, and seasoned commercial building inspectors.
When entrusted with a Property Condition Assessment, Partner undertakes a thorough evaluation of the building’s various systems and components. Our assessment encompasses a detailed visual inspection of the site, structures, mechanical aspects (HVAC, conveying systems, plumbing), electrical systems, structural integrity, exterior facades, roofs, interior finishes, and overall site amenities.
We meticulously scrutinize site enhancements to gauge existing conditions, completion status, compliance with codes, anticipated life cycle costs, suitability for intended use, and the extent of any defects. Our technical evaluations rely on the observable state of improvements during the evaluation period.
Partner goes beyond the visual inspection by delving into on-site maintenance records, building blueprints, and proposed plans for future capital enhancements (where applicable). We meticulously examine building department archives at the City and engage in interviews with on-site engineering and management personnel. To facilitate a comprehensive analysis and recommendations, the Client is expected to furnish all relevant information regarding the site.
Our comprehensive property condition reports typically span 15- to 30-pages, inclusive of a detailed table enumerating “Immediate Repairs Table.” These repairs encompass critical issues pertaining to life safety, failing building systems, and deferred maintenance demanding over $2,000 for repairs or replacements. Additionally, Partner drafts a “Replacement Capital Reserve Table,” estimating the major capital expenditures anticipated over the subsequent 12 years. Each report extensively discusses the condition of every building system along with recommended improvements.
