A wise buyer will conduct a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) by planning a property inspection before closing on any commercial property.  There is a lot that can go wrong with a commercial property, and the costs to repair and maintain buildings can be significant.  You need to get the facts about your potential investment while you still have options.  These assessments very often save our clients money by identifying building deficiencies and deferred maintenance in addition to the many other benefits of conducting a PCA.

There is no one better at assessing all types of commercial and industrial properties than 5-Fold Technical Consultants.  Our highly qualified engineers have the right knowledge, experience, and tools to assess commercial and industrial buildings as well as some of best credentials in the industry.  Our Property Condition Assessments are conducted in accordance with our industry leading inspection standards and we stand behind our inspections with a 90-Day Warranty.

►Search and review of public records and building permits for the property

►Opinions of Probable Cost to remedy any defects identified

►Environmental Risk Review:  Before spending money on a Phase I Environmental Assessment let us assess the level environment risk associated with the property.

►Flood Hazard Assessment:  Review of  the level of flood risk associated with the property.
