THE PROPERTY
Varied commercial properties in many different states.
THE CHALLENGE
The client, AEI Property Corporation, acquires properties for inclusion in real estate investment partnerships and trusts. Timing is a major challenge for these building assessments, because a fast turnaround is often required to meet securitization deadlines. The varied locations and large volume create additional challenges. Criterium Engineers evaluated 27 buildings for AEI in 17 states last year. Because REITs are sold to investors, standard inspection reports must sometimes be modified to address specific investor concerns. At AEI’s request, we added a “visual mold inspection” section to our reports, verifying that the inspection did not identify any evidence of mold.
