WHAT WE DO

We work with owners, buyers, sellers, lenders and attorneys to design and conduct a cost-effective due diligence strategy to achieve your four main goals:

• Comply with bank requirements
• Expedite closing
• Minimize legal, financial and business risk
• Maximize property value

COST VS. VALUE

I have 23 years of commercial and industrial building and property inspection experience. We're an employee-owned firm committed to you and your project and striving to provide the best service at the lowest possible cost.  No one will work harder for you and no one can produce a better product at any price.  I inspect all commercial and industrial property types including hotel, warehouse, call center, apartment buildings, office including property for lease or purchase.

SCOPE OF WORK

Due Diligence Commercial and Industrial Building Structure and Systems and Property Inspection is a comprehensive foundation to roof inspection.

The structure and building envelope; exterior sidewalls, doors, windows and roof are all inspected as are all interior floors, walls, doors and ceilings.  All building systems including HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire suppression and other life safety systems including all fixtures and equipment are inspected.

REPORT

In addition to determining current condition we estimate the remaining useful life expectancy of all components, recommend necessary and desirable upgrades, repair and replacement and we provide inspection, service and maintenance schedules to follow after you move into the building.

We also inspect the site with respect to driveways, roadways, parking, walkways and landscaping and look for signs of concern, especially deferred maintenance, safety hazards, security issues and visible environmental concerns on the subject property and adjacent properties.

DISCOUNT ON DUE DILIGENCE SERVICE PACKAGE 

Since the enactment of the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) in 1980, the commercial real estate industry has had to deal with the harsh reality that a current owner or operator of a contaminated property could be held responsible for cleanup of the contaminated property — regardless of whether it had anything to do with causing the contamination. Congress enacted the Superfund and Reauthorization Act (SARA) amendments to CERCLA in 1986 to provide liability protection to innocent landowners who unwittingly purchased contaminated property.

In order to qualify for these defenses commercial real estate purchases must perform what EPA calls All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI).  As a practical matter purchasers are not able to perform AAI functions as required by CERCLA and they transfer their responsible to an Environmental Professional who performs AAI which is part of a complete Phase 1 Environmental Assessment.  When the Assessment is correctly and fully completed by an Environmental Professional the purchaser is qualified for CERCLA liability protections should they ever be necessary. 

Add a Due Diligence Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment to your Due Diligence Commercial or Industrial Building & Property Inspection and save even more on a service package.  Phase 1 Environmental Assessment and Vapor Intrusion Assessment constitutes " appropriate inquiry" (due diligence) for the purpose of an innocent landowner defense pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, 42 USC 9601 et. seq. (CERCLA).

PURPOSE OF COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL BUILDING INSPECTION

The purpose of a Due Diligence Commercial or Industrial Building Inspection is to assess and report on the condition of the building structure and all operating systems, and to establish suitability or need for repair or replacement, recommend upgrades, establish remaining serviceable life expectancy of structure, systems and equipment and inform you of required inspection and maintenance routines for your use during ownership/occupancy of the building.  

It is our intention to provide you with useful information on current conditions that you can use to structure your final purchase or lease agreement and also to prepare you for ownership and/or occupancy with a realistic plan for future maintenance, repair, replacement.  

We provide this same high level of service whether you're buying or leasing, and for large and small buildings.   

• Office buildings 
• Office condominiums Industrial facilities 
• Hotel, hospitality and resort properties Retail malls and plazas 
• Gas station 
• Automobile service and repair shops 
• Apartment buildings 
• Churches and other religious buildings 
• Multi-unit residential properties  
• Mixed and Special Use Properties

Prompt Response   Comprehensive Reporting   Fast Turn-Around

       Our inspection protocol is thorough

• We begin with the structure; foundation and building envelope including special attention to the roof.  

• We inspect in great detail the electrical, mechanical, plumbing and HVAC systems. 

• We evaluate the condition of interior walls, ceiling and building finishes.

Our Senior Inspector is the expert's expert...
There's no one more qualified to deliver your Building and Property Inspection or Phase 1 Environmental Assessment                 

Our senior inspector regularly presides as an hearing officer (arbitrator) for binding arbitration involving construction and real estate issues at the Mediation Center in Rochester, New York and other cities upon request.  Binding arbitration is a fast, fair and inexpensive alternative to the court system.  The arbitrator brings to the table 23 years of architecture, engineering, construction and inspection experience and personally conducts an inspection of a job site or completed construction prior to the start of an arbitration session.

Outcomes are not determined according to legal minutia but by what is patently right and fair:  Customers must receive fair value and contractors must be compensated fairly and in a timely fashion.  If you want only what is rightfully yours and want to prevent construction delays and delayed or lost real property purchase and sales, then binding arbitration at the Mediation Center suits you.  You can (should) use this service as soon as a disagreement arises to keep a difficulty from becoming a crisis involving lost time and lost profit.  In arbitration neither party need be represented by an attorney.  In Western New York an  arbitration session and a decision can occur on-site and within hours of your call to Mediation Center.   

If you have an agreement to arbitrate either party can invoke arbitration at the first sign of a dispute.  An arbitration session can be set up within as little as a few days; in some cases the arbitrator can arrange a same day session with the parties on a construction site or other property that is the subject of a dispute and have the matter resolved within hours.

You can avail yourself of the benefits of this service by insisting on an arbitration clause in every contract you sign as a customer, contractor or service provider.  Mediation Center will provide you with the text of an arbitration clause you can use.  In some cases two parties may be willing to submit their dispute to binding arbitration at Mediation Center even if it wasn't specified in any agreement, but don't leave such an important matter to chance.

We provide services to all of the eastern united states from new england including massachusetts connecticut vermont rhode island maine and new hampshire; down the coast to new york pennsylvania new jersey delaware maryland washington dc west virginia and virginia and on to north carolina south carolina georgia and florida.  We serve the great lake states of wisconsin michigan ohio illinois and indiana.  We regularly travel to missouri arkansas kentucky tennessee and alabama mississippi and our service area extends to minnesota and iowa  We also travel west to arizona nevada california washington and and everywhere in between
