Property Condition Assessments

Property Condition Assessments are important when making a large investment in a piece of real estate.  Are you really sure you’ve identified all potential issues involving the building’s condition? Condition issues can lurk in unsuspecting locations causing potential for unexpected repairs and capital improvement costs.  Natura Architectural Consulting’s team of experienced architecture and construction professionals can help you reduce the risk involved in purchasing a property.  A thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of any building is key in protecting your investment.

Never Assume, Assess

Natura’s team of experts have conducted thousands of Property Condition Assessments across the United States and in Puerto Rico. Commercial buildings to multifamily properties, NAC can assess them all. PCA’s are used as a tool in determining deficiencies in all aspects of a building. NAC can perform a basic ASTM E2018 inspection or identify a custom scope of work coordinating with engineers and specialty consultants to take a deep dive into the condition of specialty building systems.

NAC works with building owners, developers and lenders to assist in the facility planning and capital improvement process. Property Condition Assessments are useful tools in planning ahead to help forecast budgets to reflect any upgrades or renovations that are potentially needed. A proactive approach will alleviate some of the surprises that could arise if you do not perform a PCA.

Saving time and energy

Although not a part of a basic property condition assessment, dollar saving measures can also be determined during the assessment process with the inclusion of an energy audit. NAC can perform an energy audit along with a Property Condition Assessment to identify how energy efficient a building is operating.  Natura’s team can also identify measures to save energy costs. NAC can customize an energy audit for any client depending on their needs or develop a sustainability plan for a green building certification to further reduce your environmental impact. We will make recommendations that highlight ways you can start lowering your energy use right away, often with low or no-cost improvements.
