Property Condition Assessments When buyers or sellers are interested in property, a condition assessment is neces- sary to verify the state of the materials and equipment and to identify any needed repairs or anticipated maintenance. Intertek has the full depth of experience for both standard and enhanced Property Condition Assessments and corresponding Environ- mental Site Assessments. Roofing System Evaluations The proper installation of a roof on a building is a vital aspect to the building’s construction and its overall ownership costs. With a significant number of construction litigation cases stemming from roofing issues, the evaluation of your roofing system by a third
party is not only vital, but it provides reassurance and future cost savings.
Whole Building Air Barrier Testing With approximately 30% of your building’s energy usage utilized to compensate for air leakage, the need to control the air entering and leaving your building is more than an air quality issue. Intertek can help confirm the building’s design intent is met by quantifying the air leakage of a completed building.
