How
can we add to your bottom line?
(PCA)
Property Condition Assessment.
Was established
by ASTM International (American Society for Testing and
Materials) called ASTM E2018-01 PCA. The purpose of this
document is to define good commercial and customary practice
for conducting a baseline property condition assessment.
This document was formed as a guideline to further resolve
the conflict between buyers and sellers.
When contracting
a consulting firm to gather information on the suspect property,
the firm chosen should have a good working knowledge of
the ASTM standards. Due to the cost of following the standards
in its entirety, many investors choose not to have the entire
guidelines followed. Areas of concern are established and
those areas are further followed within the ASTM standards.
The
Investor/ Buyer.
You have done
your homework and found another promising property to invest
in. With our qualified team of professionals we can further
diminish the financial risk you take in this transaction,
use us as a tool for your negotiations. When you’re looking
at a property and have questions but are just not sure who
to contact or where to find this information, contact us
and we will provide you with the knowledge you seek.
Building
Occupancy Change.
Is the use of
the building being changed? What is the feasibility and
costs involved with changing the use? Is the property sufficient
for your current and growing needs? What is needed to conform
to the city’s building, land use, and occupancy codes? What
is required by the ADA and what are your requirements to
conform? All of these questions and many more should be
answered before the close of escrow and locking yourself
into a building that does not fit your needs now or in the
future. We will proudly be a part of your team in helping
answer these questions.
Pre
Lease Consultation.
Triple net lease,
If you are entering in to a Lease that states you will be
responsible for all expenses which are normally associated
with ownership, such as utilities, repairs, insurance and
taxes, also called a closed end lease. This type of lease
states if a component within the facility is defective it
needs replaced, you are responsible for full replacement
costs. In many facilities when a component needs replaced
it could cost many times more than the monthly lease payment.
If the components are inspected and a baseline is established
for the estimated remaining life span, you could present
this valuable information to the landlord before signing
the lease and negotiate the responsibilities of the full
replacement costs. Further protecting yourself from many
unforeseen costs in the future, and adding to your bottom
line.
