A property assessment is a thorough analysis of a building’s technical condition. It’s a visual inspection of every component, both inside and out, whether it’s a residential home or a commercial building. This examination is carried out by an expert who can provide an accurate diagnosis of each element inspected.
Our property condition assessment service at Maitre Inspector is a rigorous inspection that covers all major aspects of your building to ensure its reliability and safety.
Financial institutions and private government actors may request a health check to unlock the necessary funds for financing or for major renovation of buildings.
At the end of the mandate, a detailed report is provided, summarizing all components needing maintenance, repair, renovation, or replacement.
With a property condition assessment, you will be able to:
Manage your assets more effectively
Understand the overall health status of the building
Identify elements that require special attention
Establish the priority of upcoming repair work
Facilitate the budget management of maintenance and/or necessary work.
Here is a list of the elements targeted during a building condition assessment:
General condition
Land
Foundation
Doors, windows, skylights and other openings
Exterior envelope
Roof
Universal access
Garage and other buildings
Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems
Electricity
Plumbing
This list applies to both private and communal areas, depending on the type of building.
Is there a difference for condo buildings?
In the case of condos, Bill 16 requires the syndicate to obtain an Asset Management Plan from a certified professional. This plan for maintaining your property includes:
A contingency fund study
The maintenance logbook
The building condition report
Property assessment versus technical inspection
The property condition assessment has certain limitations, as it is only a visual inspection. If you suspect that the building may have hidden defects or faults, you should consider a thorough inspection.
