The explosion of condominium buildings in the last 10 years has brought with it an equal shock that many of these buildings were not developed in a manner that is adequate to insure long term performance of major components. That's a nice way of saying the buildings need major improvements & repairs even though they've been recently "rehabbed". Often, the condo association members have no idea where to start. Even if they do take a pro-active stance toward building repair, they find themselves comparing apples to oranges when they begin receiving proposals or recommendations from tradesman or contractors. The condominium consulting component of our inspection
business grew out of this predicament.
We meet w/ the Condo Board or association, listen to their concerns, & propose a custom inspection and report process to best address those items needing attention. Because condos often have budget limitations, concerns are prioritized on an as necessary basis. We help the condo board locate appropriate contractors, review proposals, and monitor work in progress to ensure that the building is receiving the most cost effective repair or improvements. Since we do not have a vested interest in the work being performed, we do not have a trade bias as to how to best achieve results; we draw on our experience of over 2 decades of building inspection to propose
solutions that best meet the needs of specific condo buildings.
Call our office & we will be glad to describe additional services available to condo boards and/or management. companies to properly allocate resources for maintenance & repair of these structures.
