Edwards and Kelcey provides building evaluation and due diligence appraisal services to a wide range of clients. Depending upon our client’s needs, we undertake a detailed analysis or a more general overview of a building’s components and systems. EK has all of the essential engineering disciplines in house to provide comprehensive, professional analysis and cost estimates in an expeditious manner.

EK’s multi-disciplined professional staff of engineers and building envelope and building technology specialists routinely work with building owners to assess the current condition of their buildings and determine their future capital needs. This assessment of deferred maintenance and capital needs provides the essential baseline understanding necessary to begin development of a capital plan. Comparative studies, both building-to-building and existing versus new construction, are conducted using industry standards, such as a Facility Condition Index.

At EK, the data collection is just the starting point. The data can be placed into a computerized data source tool that allows for the ultimate flexibility in sorting and producing customized reports. The collected data can then be leveraged using a computerized database tool that empowers the owner to develop and update a capital plan reflecting contemporary conditions. This system results in a more intelligent and grounded management of the portfolio of building assets.
