Property Condition Assessments for Ottawa properties

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

As the national capital, Ottawa's commercial property market is shaped by federal government occupancy alongside a substantial technology sector centred on Kanata. In Ottawa, we prepare ASTM-format condition assessments across commercial, industrial and apartment property types, in support of transactions, financing and refinancing alike. Our Vaughan head office is roughly 415 km away, which keeps site visits simple rather than a line item on the invoice.

The property and its intended use for the report both shape the scope before any work begins. 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.

The licensed professional who seals the report also prepares it — and it's written so you can act on the findings directly, without needing to translate them yourself.

The property condition assessment page explains the report structure and how the engagement runs, in full.

Common questions

Property Condition Assessments in Ottawa

When do I need a property condition assessment in Ottawa?

The report is typically commissioned around a transaction — a purchase, a mortgage, or a renewal. Banks and private lenders alike often make the report a precondition of approval.

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?

Site visits typically happen within one to two weeks of engagement, with the finished report following two to three weeks later.
