EXTERIOR EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS

Careful and thorough examination of the building's exterior allows FMD to provide an analysis of current conditions as well serving as a benchmark for future investigations and work to be performed.

The FMD Team examines all exterior elements from roofs and windows to facades, plazas, sidewalks and parking facilities. Investigative reports detail existing conditions with respect to deteriorating materials, potential waterproofing problems, recommended cosmetic treatments, routine maintenance recommendations and include any owner/manager specified additional investigations that may be warranted by FMD's initial building survey.

The detailed format of the FMD Investigative Report provides the framework for determining work to be performed and aids in determining costs and in prioritizing activities for the owner/manager.

FMD Investigative Reports serve to:

• Assess needed repairs or restoration activities and estimate cost
• Reveal existing or potential waterproofing/water seepage problems
• Critique the effectiveness of maintenance programs
• Evaluate and prioritize cosmetic treatments or exterior material upgrades
• Assist owners/managers in the valuation process for tax, sale or estate purposes
