Building Condition Assessment

Know what you own, how it's ageing, and what it will cost — for a single building or a whole portfolio.

Building Condition Assessment
01 · Overview

Building condition assessments and structural audits evaluate structural integrity, safety and long-term performance — so owners can prioritize repairs and plan for maintenance, rehabilitation or capital renewal.

We've completed more than 20 structural audits and capital-planning projects, including municipal mandates where multiple civic facilities were evaluated to support long-term asset management. For condominium corporations, our assessments align with Ontario reserve fund study requirements.
