Who This Is For
For Commercial Buyers & Investors
Don’t let a great deal turn into a liability. Before you sign a Sale and Purchase Agreement, we evaluate the building to uncover hidden compliance issues, structural deficits, and renovation roadblocks. We provide you with a clear picture of what the building actually needs, allowing you to negotiate effectively and buy with confidence.
For Commercial Property Sellers
Maximize your sale price by identifying and rectifying red flags before listing. We help you understand how potential buyers will view your property's compliance and structural standing, allowing you to address issues proactively or price the asset accurately.
What We Evaluate
During a Fitz Consulting building assessment, we look at the complete picture. Our evaluations seamlessly bridge the gap between initial concept and final compliance.
Seismic & NBS Rating Reviews
We assess current structural integrity, review existing earthquake-prone building (EPB) statuses, and provide realistic forecasts for any required seismic upgrades.
Compliance & Code Checks
We identify critical gaps in fire systems, egress routes, accessibility modifications, and general building code requirements.
Renovation Feasibility
We evaluate whether the existing space can actually be transformed for your intended commercial, retail, or industrial use without breaking the bank.
Budget Forecasting
We provide realistic, experience-backed estimates for required repairs, fit-outs, or structural upgrades so you know exactly what your total capital outlay will be.
