Phase II Site Assessment
Phase II Scope Requirements
A standard Phase I scope does not include laboratory analysis. It does not test soil or groundwater. It also skips soil vapor sampling. Therefore, understanding Phase I vs Phase II ESA costs is essential for accurate transaction budgeting.
If the assessment flags recognized environmental conditions (RECs), you must investigate further. Consequently, our team will then create a customized testing plan tailored to your specific site. Specifically, this is because one Phase II environmental scope doesn’t fit all.
A Phase II ESA tests areas where contamination may be present. We may collect soil, groundwater, soil vapor, or surface water samples.The scope depends on the site history and the type of concern.

Beyond Environmental Liability:
Comprehensive Technical Due Diligence
Read our complete guide to learn about understanding NOI and Property Condition Assessments (PCAs). It explains how long-term planning keeps your money safe. You will see exactly how capital expenditure forecasting protects your investments.
Regulatory Compliance and Asset Protection
Physical due diligence must also cover regulatory compliance risks. Furthermore, these critical issues often go completely unnoticed until after closing. Failing to spot architectural barriers can lead to massive remediation costs.
Finding hidden ADA compliance issues is a major risk in due diligence. As a result, every investor must account for these potential expenses early.
Modern firms are moving away from old-school methods to catch these defects. Instead, they are utilizing AI and advanced technology in Property Condition Assessments. As a result, this allows them to build dynamic, predictive data models well before closing.
Property Condition Assessment
PCA Scope of Work
A Property Condition Assessment reviews the condition of a commercial building. We inspect the main building systems and outdoor areas. Our reports list current repairs and future capital costs.
This helps buyers and lenders understand the true cost of the property.

ADA Accessibility Assessment
ADA Requirements
ADA barriers can create repair costs and legal risks. We review parking spaces, walkways, entrances, ramps, doors, restrooms, signs, and common areas. Our reports explain the barriers and list practical repair options.
Industrial Hygiene Services
Industrial hygiene helps protect workers and building users.
Workplace conditions and exposure risks are reviewed during the assessment.
Testing may include air quality, noise levels, mold, asbestos, and worker exposure monitoring.
Indoor Air Quality Testing
Poor indoor air can affect comfort and health. To evaluate your space, our team reviews ventilation and tests selected air conditions. Specifically, we test the air for dust, gases, moisture, and temperature. Finally, we explain the results in clear terms.
Noise and Exposure Monitoring
High noise levels can harm workers over time. To accurately evaluate this, we use sound meters and personal monitors to measure exposure. Based on the results, our team can recommend safer work methods, noise controls, or hearing protection.
Asbestos and Hazardous Materials
Older buildings may contain asbestos. To address this risk, we inspect potential asbestos-containing materials and collect samples when needed. Furthermore, our team supports renovation, demolition, property management, and real estate projects.
