Building Condition Assessment Inspections

RAS Engineering helps condominium associations, commercial building owners, and property managers understand visible deterioration and plan the next steps for maintenance or repair. A condition assessment can help when cracking, concrete spalling, leaks, aging materials, or deferred maintenance raise questions about a property.

What the Assessment Covers

The agreed scope may include accessible structural components, façades, balconies, parking garages, roof and building-envelope conditions, waterproofing, and drainage. RAS documents observed deficiencies and identifies areas that may require additional access, testing, or a more detailed engineering investigation.

What You Receive

Your project-specific proposal defines the inspection areas and deliverables. These may include an engineering report with photographs, documented observations, repair or maintenance recommendations, and priorities for further investigation. Repair drawings, testing, and construction-phase services can be scoped separately when needed.

Information to Prepare

Provide the building address, property type, available drawings, previous inspection reports, repair history, photographs of concerns, and any notice or deadline. Tell us about access restrictions and whether occupied areas must remain in use during the assessment.

Assessment, Compliance Inspection, or Investigation?

A general condition assessment does not automatically replace a mandated inspection. If you have an inspection notice, RAS can help identify the appropriate service and proposal scope. See Milestone Inspections, Building Recertification, or Forensic Investigation and Testing.
