Commercial Property Risk Assessment

Most building owners are working on assumptions.

FacilitiesCheck is a professional, independent compliance and risk assessment conducted by an experienced facilities advisor — covering nine core disciplines of building operations, one clear written report, and a prioritized action plan you can act on immediately.

The problem

Most buildings aren't in trouble.
They're underdocumented.

The gap between what's been done and what can be proven is where most building owners get caught. A FacilitiesCheck assessment documents exactly where you stand — before a claim, a renewal, or a sale forces the question.

01 — Visibility

You manage the building. Do you actually know what's in it?

Most building owners operate on secondhand information — what the PM reported, what the vendor said, what they vaguely remember from the last walkthrough. The FacilitiesCheck report replaces that with documented, structured facts across every major system.

02 — Aging systems

A 25-year-old roof with no replacement plan isn't a budget problem.

It's a capital risk you haven't formally acknowledged. When aging systems fail without a plan behind them, the cost is always higher than if you'd seen it coming. The assessment maps every major system against expected useful life and flags what's overdue for a decision.

03 — Vendor gaps

A verbal agreement with your snow contractor isn't liability protection.

Without a written contract, defined response times, and a vendor COI, the full slip-and-fall exposure is yours. The assessment finds these gaps before they become claims — and gives you the language to fix them.

Who we are

I've been every person in this industry.

The facilities manager at a company big enough that things fell through the cracks and nobody noticed for months. The regional owner-operator grinding through a portfolio with no real system. The service provider who knew what corners the client was cutting. The maintenance guy who fixed what he was told and ignored what he wasn't. The building owner who trusted people he shouldn't have.

I've missed annual inspections. I've seen reports shaped to tell ownership what they wanted to hear instead of what was actually happening. I know exactly how it's done because I've been in rooms where it was done.

That's not a confession. That's the point.

Most building owners don't know what they don't know — and nobody in the chain has a financial incentive to tell them. The property manager gets paid whether the sprinkler inspection happened or not. The vendor gets paid whether the scope was right or not. The facilities staff manages up, not down.

FacilitiesCheck exists because someone needs to be on the owner's side of the table. Independent, not incentivized by the outcome, and experienced enough to know exactly what to look for.

"I've shaped a report to protect a relationship. I've also been the owner who trusted the wrong people. I built FacilitiesCheck because building owners deserve someone in their corner."

What it is

Closer to a PCR than a checklist — focused on how you operate, not just what you own.

Similar in purpose to a Property Condition Report often required by lenders at acquisition — but focused on ongoing operations rather than physical condition alone. A PCR tells you what you have. This tells you whether it’s being run the way it should be.

We gather information directly from you or your property manager through a structured process. Every response is reviewed by an experienced advisor and evaluated against FM Global, NFPA, and GSA benchmarks. You receive a professionally written report within 5–7 business days, ready to share with your board, lender, or management team.

The assessment covers nine core disciplines of building operations — plus an open-ended section for topics specific to your property. Every building has something unique and the assessment should reflect that.

What you walk away with

One report. Three things that matter.

Every building owner walks away with something most have never had — a complete, documented picture of where things actually stand.

01

Documented facts, not opinions

Every finding is tied to your intake responses and the documents you provided — or the documented absence of them. No vague recommendations. Every finding is specific to your building, rated by severity, and written in plain language.

02

A prioritized action plan

Immediate actions for this week. Near-term items for the next 90 days. Planned work for next budget cycle. You leave knowing what to do first, what can wait, and how to sequence the spend.

03

Vendor scope guidance

For every significant gap, the report includes specific language you can hand to a contractor or use in an RFP. You stop being the person who doesn't know what questions to ask.

How it works

Simple intake. Serious analysis.

Every engagement starts with a discovery call. Remote-first by default, with on-site options available for any property or geography.

1

Discovery call

We start with a conversation — your building, your concerns, your goals. This shapes how the assessment is scoped and ensures the report is relevant to your situation.

2

Structured intake

We gather information directly from you or your property manager across nine disciplines — remotely or on-site. You provide existing inspection reports, contracts, and maintenance records as reference material.

3

Professional review

Every response is analyzed against FM Global, NFPA, and GSA benchmarks by an experienced advisor. Each finding is rated by severity and grounded in documentation — or its absence.

4

Report delivered

Your written assessment arrives within 5–7 business days — compliance status by system, risk findings by severity, a 90-day action plan, and vendor scope guidance ready to use.
