Property Condition & Physical Needs Consulting

BBG executes thorough and cost-effective analyses of property conditions under strict guidelines and tight time constraints for all uses. Our multi-disciplinary team is highly experienced in all manner of property assessments, including structural investigations, system evaluations, sustainability, seismic risk assessments and structural rehabilitation.

Property Condition Assessments (PCAs)
PCAs provide a baseline assessment of buildings and site improvements based on walk-through observations; interviews with property ownership and property management, maintenance personnel and vendors; and a review of available construction documents, records of historical and pending repairs, and municipal files. A detailed PCA report is prepared describing building systems and components. Within the PCA report, BBG discusses areas of deferred maintenance and physical deficiencies. Cost estimates are provided to address identified areas of concern and for anticipated on-going capital expenditures. BBG performs PCAs to the current ASTM E2018 Standard.

Third-Party Desktop Reviews
Desktop Reviews are reviews of reports prepared by others for scope compliance, quality of reporting and presentation of findings, and for appropriate conclusions and recommendations. Desktop reviews are of PCAs, SRAs or other reports and are conducted to provide the client with confirmation that the scope of work has been performed, the report is complete, and the conclusions and recommendations are appropriate and in compliance with industry standards and client protocol. Third-party desktop reviews are typically presented in a brief summary letter format.

Other Building Services Capabilities Include:

  • Equity Level Property Condition Assessments
  • PCNAs
  • Small Balance Loans
