PCR – A Property Condition Report is often used to verify whether or not an offer for commercial real estate is worthy of the buyers investment. Large investing firms often make their decision after a Commercial Property Inspection has been successfully accomplished and the results of a Property Condition Report has been professionally delivered.

Real Estate Agencies, Banks, Group Lenders etc are all waiting for the overall results and that’s why you should look for an experienced inspection service firm. When conducting a Commercial Building Inspection we follow the industry accepted guidelines of ASTM E2018-15 or the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (ComSOP).

Some loan agencies want other eyes on specialty items such as Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing or Structural Engineers to verify certain areas of the building. This is not always the norm although if this is a large investment then the potential buyer doesn’t mind the substantial up charge associated with this type of service. An agreement before hand lets everyone know that there is a basic guide for writing the initial scope that will be put together so everyone knows their portion of detail and expectations.

Your inspection may require certain professional trade members to conduct their own assessment and this will vary in costs as well as time when compiling the information to conduct a complete report.

These individuals may differ from Menard Building Solutions inspection service but we can coordinate with these professionals. We can assist with an Architect, Engineer, NFPA or Authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Each varying degree of expertise whether it’s a review or assessment, will likely cost more and extend the inspection deadline significantly.

Our inspections can be done in one day (after research) and most are delivered reports within 24hrs, unless it’s a complicated building envelope. Engineering services generally have a 30 day minimum turnaround time but usually are within 45 days.

Our inspectors are professional and their knowledge often negates other specialty trades from getting involved unless of course you insist, in which case we’re always happy to work with others. If you’re contemplating this criteria then please reach out to us for a free consultation!
