Building System Evaluation Consulting

Our building assessment service includes a thorough evaluation of HVAC, plumbing and fire protection systems 

IEI’s building system evaluation consulting service provides facility owners with an assessment of a building’s HVAC, plumbing and fire protection systems. Our qualified experts analyze a system’s condition, useful life, energy efficiency and observe possible hazards.

Why would a facility owner want to hire us? IEI is retained to perform building system evaluations for numerous reasons. Some of these include:

  • As part of a routine condition update
  • To investigate a problematic or defective system
  • As part of due diligence associated with a pending sale
  • To provide recommendations for repair, maintenance, potential upgrades, estimated repair costs and estimated upgrade costs

We understand the challenges of due diligence in real estate transactions, and therefore are usually able to start a project in a reasonable timeframe.

Our experts give recommendations

We are called to help when the onsite maintenance personnel or the subcontractors are at a standstill on the correct approach to repair an issue or replace a system. IEI does not “sell” the building owner on new products; we simply report on what we see and give a recommendation as a smart course of action to extend the long-term viability of the property.

Our Evaluation Process

As part of the building evaluation, IEI consultants review the building plans and inspect various components, such as the piping systems, pumps, boilers, chillers, cooling towers, heating and cooling equipment, fire barrier penetrations and much more. Our experts help to identify problems related to hot water distribution, excessive energy use, indoor air quality and carbon monoxide safety.
