Why third party inspections save you money
Why do you want to call in a consultant to look at your property? Why should you pay them to look at what you do daily?
The reality of it is we don't look at our properties daily or even annualy to look at the value gained or lost. Our typical role is to see whats wrong and if our staff are doing a good job. Great goals but there is a much bigger picture that most miss.
Hidden time bombs, not many can look at beautiful glass building and see past the fascia, not many can look at the boilers and not think hot. Our inspections look at the glass and see the color and delamination, we also see the frames and what the salt has done. The boilers we smell water leaks, we see the end of life, we see the maintenance completed.
Staying with these two items we can tell you if you will need water proofing or new boilers well before they are needed. This will help you by giving you the time you need to begin your 5 year plan and approach the owners giving them time to plan.
Another great value is the document, you can present this and have the proof you need to ask for items in your budget that may be looked over. Once you have completed the work and the next annual report shows completed you now have proven your worth and have increased the building value.
The value also increases when its time to renegotiate leases, look for major financing or to simply sell the building. When the new buyer is doing his due diligence and looks over your completed reports and progress he will have a clear understanding the building is well managed. This simple statement will pay dividends with the sale price.
By knowing and understanding what is happening inside our buildings allow us a much greater piece of mind than waiting for the time bomb to go off. Pro active inspections, reports and follow up work will save you money or increase value annualy, how can you say no?
