READ MORE ABOUT BUILDING COMMISSIONING

You may be build new, renovating your current building or going through the process of evaluating several buildings at one. In each case, a safe and functional space is absolutely essential to provide the best services to your building occupants. To obtain a holistic view of your building’s condition so you can determine the best process for construction, your best resource is our team of expert evaluators.

Our building assessment process in Dallas-Fort Worth applies an extremely high level of attention to quality to assess the building and site early during preconstruction. This reduces the environmental impact of practices and materials and focus on life cycle assessments (LCA). We also use programs that quickly evaluate energy usage vs utility, maintenance, and replacement costs. In the end you achieve the most sustainable option for your project.

Key Benefits

1. Risk Mitigation

Assessments aid in recognizing possible safety hazards and structural concerns, enabling property owners and managers to tackle them preemptively, avoiding accidents or the need for expensive repairs.

2. Cost Estimation

Building assessments offer evaluations for required repairs and upkeep, assisting property owners in planning for these costs and preventing unforeseen financial challenges.

3. Informed Decision-Making

Prospective buyers can utilize assessment reports to make knowledgeable choices when acquiring property, obtaining a deeper understanding of the building’s condition and the possible long-term expenses linked to it.

4. Asset Management

Based on assessment findings, property owners and facility managers can develop efficient maintenance strategies, prolonging the lifespan of building systems and cutting down on operational expenses.

5. Optimized Investments

By prioritizing repairs and upgrades based on assessment recommendations, property owners can maximize the return on investment and increase the property’s value.

6. Legal Compliance

Building assessments can help ensure that properties meet local building codes and regulations, reducing the risk of fines or legal complications.

Property owners can use assessment data for long-term financial planning, understanding when major repairs or replacements will be necessary and how to budget for them.
