Property Condition Assessments for Burnaby properties

What a condition assessment covers on a typical commercial or apartment property in Burnaby.

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's largest employment centres, with major office and retail nodes clustered around Metrotown and Brentwood rather than a single downtown core. Our Burnaby, British Columbia work covers commercial, industrial and apartment condition assessments, all to ASTM format, in support of transactions, financing and refinancing alike. We attend from our Vancouver office, some 15 km distant — close enough that a site visit is never the bottleneck.

The scope is set by two things: the property itself, and what the report needs to accomplish. Whether it's for a transaction, a filing, budgeting or a dispute, tell us the purpose and we'll confirm scope before providing a quote.

Preparation and sealing are done by the same licensed professional, and the report is written for action, not interpretation.

The property condition assessment page sets out exactly what the report covers and how the process runs.

Common questions

Property Condition Assessments in Burnaby

When do I need a property condition assessment in Burnaby?

A change of ownership or a lender's requirement is the most common reason the report gets ordered. A current report is frequently a condition lenders attach before releasing commercial financing.

What standard do you follow?

Reports follow ASTM E2018-24 — the standard's current edition, which took over from the 2015 version at the start of 2024.

What does the report include?

Expect a records review, conversations with building staff or ownership, a hands-on inspection of the major systems, and a ten-year cost table for whatever is found.

How quickly can you attend?

We're usually on site within a week or two of being engaged, and the report is generally ready two to three weeks after that visit.
