Consultation and Building Analysis

A building analysis provides an accurate, comprehensive evaluation of any type of building. Reasons for an analysis vary and include preparing for buying or selling, preparing for legal action, evaluating a major repair problem, examining a structure during the post-construction guarantee period, or becoming knowledgeable about a property in order to formulate correct maintenance plans.

Following the survey and analysis of your building, you will have a precise picture of the condition of your building, a scope of work statement explaining work needed to repair conditions discovered during analysis, and an estimated cost statement for each repair. Geitz Design Associates will also prepare an annual maintenance plan, and will identify potential cost savings recognized in your current property.

The building analyses include these systems and components:

• Compliance with applicable building codes
• Roofing
• Exterior surfaces and materials, including facades, brickwork, stonework, etc.
• Building systems: electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fire protection, HVAC
• Interior: surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry, water heaters
• Attic, garage and basement
• Doors and windows
• Structural and foundation integrity
• Parking and walking surfaces
• Life Safety issues: fire sprinklers, safety hazards
• ADA (American Disabilities Act)
• Occupancy Review
