Common due diligence questions we help answer

Replacement exposure

Which rooftop units, make-up air units, exhaust fans, curbs, or roof penetrations may create near-term capital spend after closing?

Records gap

Does the seller’s equipment list match what is physically on the roof, and are model/serial details visible enough for follow-up quotes?

Year-one plan

What should be budgeted, monitored, or reviewed by trades after the building changes hands?

Who this is for
