Property Condition Assessments
Our nationwide team of building experts are dedicated solely to delivering Property Condition Assessment (PCA) services. Our assessors are trained in all aspects of the ASTM E2018 – 15 guidelines that outline methods for performing property assessments and developing baseline conditions reports. In addition, our assessors have strong backgrounds in architecture, engineering and building science disciplines. We regularly provide this type of due diligence for clients involved with real estate transactions, litigation and maintenance or improvement planning. Services include:
- Walk-through surveys
- Interviews with building operations and management staff
- Reviews of as-build documentation to assess exterior walls, windows, doors, canopies, balconies, terraces, stairs and roofs
- Comprehensive reports that summarize observations, detail and quantify deficiencies
- Cost alternatives for immediate, short- and long-term actions to preserve, improve or repair assets
Facility Condition Assessments
Strategic facility planners need consistent, reliable data to support future operational needs of their assets. TRC offers comprehensive facility planning services with available updates as the needs of the facility or client evolve. Our facility condition assessment (FCA) services help owners anticipate future costs of a facility’s maintenance, repair and site improvements.
FCAs include the base scope of services outlined in the ASTM Standard for PCAs, with additional services for building owners and facility managers who require long-term planning for their owned facilities. We provide services ranging from standard reporting with cost estimates to ongoing consulting with implementation or data entry for facility management software packages for clients with multiple facilities to track.
