Building & Property and Environmental Due Diligence Services

Whether you own one commercial or industrial property in your hometown, or are employed by a corporation that owns, leases or manages commercial real estate properties all over the USA, you have direct access to the best building and property condition assessments and environmental assessments in the business.

Edward J. Devine has university degrees in architecture and engineering and completed a two-year post-university environmental management program, and has practiced all three disciplines for over 40 years.

Architecture, engineering and environmental assessment bring unique viewpoints and perspectives to Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and Building & Property Condition Assessment (PCA), and the synergy of observing each property from three related perspectives enhance and add extra value to every assessment. The Standard of Excellence is built on our consultant’s solid and diverse education and impressive experience, and completed by life-long continuing education and industry training.

In a day and time where large corporations fragment the ESA and PCA processes with the least trained, experienced and responsible employees and subcontractors in the field and layers of reviewers and managers over them, there is real value – real efficiency, real accuracy, real accountability when one well-educated, individual with impressive experience and directly responsible to you, completes your project from beginning to end.

Whether you’re the user, advisor, attorney or lender of a Lifespace Corporation Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and Building & Property Condition Assessment you can be assured the assessment and report will exceed your standards, and that with our mutual client’s approval, you’ll have unprecedented direct access to the one person who can answer every question and substantiate every conclusion.

Every Building & Property Condition Assessment is a thorough foundation-to-roof inspection and assessment and includes a ten-year capital reserves table of major repair and replacement costs. The goal is to provide you with information to inform the purchase/sale transaction and also for planning and maintaining the subject property, and maintaining or increasing property value.

Every Phase I Environmental Site Assessment includes a visual, auditory and olfactory inspection, interviews and historical research back to 1940 or before of the subject property, adjoining property and property up to one mile away. The goal is to discover every past or present environmental defect or deficiency that could affect the subject property, and if possible, be assured that the subject property is environmentally clean and sound.

In our experience, over 97% of the time we’re able to report that the subject property
has no significant environmental defect or deficiency, and document it to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.

Our purpose in life is to be a vital part of your team, expediting the purchase, lease or 1031 exchange of commercial and industrial real estate. For over 40 years we’ve done that well for first-time buyers and a panel of portfolio clients, some of whom have depended on us for over 20 years, both for our expertise and affordable prices.
