We know buildings and we understand business.
At Criterium-Pfaff Engineers, we never forget that business owners often own buildings too. Our insight into commercial real estate properties and transactions, environmental solutions, facility management, and capital planning helps our clients from coast to coast build equity, maximize profits, and protect the people who live and work in their properties every day.
If you or your lender require a Building Inspection, Property Inspection, or a Property Condition Assessment, Criterium-Pfaff Engineers offers commercial Building Inspections in Spokane, Coeur d’Alene and the surrounding region. Our building inspection (property inspection) offers a thorough review of the building’s structure and its components to aid in your purchase decision. The “Commercial Building Evaluation” report is intended to provide good value at a reduced fee. With this type of building inspection, our scope of work is similar to the “Property Condition Assessment (PCA)” but does not include our opinion of probable capital expenditures (reserves) or investigation of compliance with the local authorities. It does include a complete visual building inspection of the accessible portions of the building as well as the site by our experienced engineers. The “Property Condition Assessment” report includes our opinion of probable capitial expenditures and a compliance investigation with the local authorities. Both the Commercial Building Evaluation and Property Condition Assessment reports are narrative style and include a description of the components, a discussion of their condition, and identification of deficiencies and deferred maintenance issues. Of course, our services can be customized in accordance with our client’s needs. Please contact us for your Spokane Building Inspection or Coeur d’Alene Building Inspection needs
