Our clients include leading owners, investors, managers, lenders, and regulators in every state in the country. During our history, we have performed more than 6,500 assessments across the United States on multifamily properties, condominiums, hotels, healthcare facilities, and school dormitories. Capital Needs Assessments The industry standard for more than two decades Our CNA provides extensive analysis of building systems, recommendations for specific improvements, and funding estimates for long term maintenance in a 20-year capital plan. Our BPI-certified associates inspect up to 170 major building systems, examine the entire site, analyze remaining economic life of all significant building components, and estimate repair and reserve requirements for your property by year. Energy Audits Multifamily-specific and financially focused Our Energy Audit was designed to meet the needs of multifamily clients and provides clear guidance on energy and water retrofits, backed by reliable financial analysis. We evaluate Green vs. Conventional alternatives and give specific retrofit recommendations. We model energy use, analyze indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and provide a full set of infrared and conventional photos.

The recommended improvements are then integrated into your comprehensive 20-year capital plan.

5 REAC Inspections Preparation for your REAC inspection Rental housing receiving FHA insurance or other funding from HUD must pass required Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) inspections. A high REAC score means a clean bill of health along with a reduction in administrative and reporting requirements, while a low score leans to increased oversight, increased compliance and reporting requirements, difficulty in securing new business, and potential loss of property management contracts. Owners and managers who request our assistance experience an average score increase of 27 points. Ensure a favorable inspection outcome On-Site Insight's REAC services will ensure your staff is ready to meet REAC requirements and avoid substantial financial and legal consequences of failing these inspections. Backed by more than ten years of experience in the REAC field and more than 30,000 inspections, our inspectors can help your property prepare effectively for an upcoming inspection, represent your interests during the inspection itself, and train your staff for future inspections.
