Services
Construction Monitoring
Our Construction Monitoring service provides comprehensive evaluation of new construction and renovation projects through scheduled site visits. We verify compliance with design documents, assess construction quality, and analyze funding adequacy while tracking progress against schedules. This service includes detailed photographic documentation and reports that help lenders verify funding requests and identify potential issues before they escalate.
Property Condition Assessments
Property Condition Assessments identify immediate and future repair needs for existing buildings through thorough physical inspections. We evaluate structural components, mechanical systems, and site improvements while reviewing maintenance records to provide repair cost estimates. Our reports follow ASTM E2018 standards and include reserve cost projections over the loan term plus two years.
Cost-to-Complete Analyses
Cost-to-Complete Analyses assess stalled construction projects by itemizing completed work and projecting remaining costs. We evaluate material quality, workmanship standards, and current market rates to develop realistic completion budgets. This service includes trade-specific cost breakdowns and recommendations for correcting project deficiencies.
Pre-Construction Reviews
Pre-Construction Plan and Cost Reviews evaluate project plans and budgets before construction begins. We verify design completeness, cost breakdown accuracy, and schedule realism while identifying potential construction risks. Our assessment covers permit requirements, regulatory compliance, and contingency planning to prevent budget overruns.
Project Workout Services
Project Workout Services address troubled construction initiatives through comprehensive evaluations and recovery strategies. We identify root causes of project delays, develop corrective action plans, and provide ongoing monitoring to ensure successful completion.
