HightecH Inspection Service Corporation (HISC)
provides Property Condition Assessments as part of the Due Diligence Process
that identifies problems,
deficiencies, hazards, etc.,
through the completion of a visual inspection of the property. HISC ensures that a complete site survey of the
building structure is conducted including systems,
components, services and external
site features. The report (PCR) is completed in general conformance with
the ASTM Practice E2018 - 01,
Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition
Assessments Process. The Scope of work for the assessment and report
includes:
- a complete visual
inspection of the building structure including the building envelope
(roof, wall, window systems) interior finishes, electrical/mechanical
systems, accessible structural components, fire/life safety and exterior
site features (i.e. walkways,
roadways, parking, landscaping,
etc.);
- written and photographic
documentation of each component together with observed deficiencies;
- review of general documentation
on the repair/maintenance history of the elements;
- cursory review of client
supplied drawings and/or previous reports pertaining to the Site building;
- visit City Hall to
obtain information not supplied by client;
- interviews and
discussions with on-Site personnel regarding the repair/maintenance
conducted on the Site building;
- compilation of HISC
findings in a formal written report including observed deficiencies, together with a list of recommendations for
repair/replacement with associated estimated costs;
- Outline recommendations
for remedial work including likely
remaining lifespan of all major components along with associated budget costs, and recommendation for prioritizing all of
the repairs, maintenance, and ideally recommended upgrades.
Upon completion of
the Site survey, a written report is prepared and submitted within 3 working
days after the completion of the inspection.
