Building Condition Assessment

Routine property inspections are a vital part of managing inherent risks in a homeowners or condo association. Ensuring timely and high-quality inspections increases the level of safety for the residents, lowers the risk of expensive repairs and costly lawsuits, and protects property values throughout the community.

​

We help you show the homeowners or condo association’s insurance carrier that you are proactive in addressing vulnerabilities, mitigating risk, reducing loss and detecting problems early before they get worse. Worsening conditions and deterioration of common-area amenities can be expensive to repair; a little preventative maintenance will go a long way.
