Buildings Cleared
Deficiency Detection Rate
We find what the builder left behind.
Documenting hairline slab cracks, HVAC riser deficiencies, and waterproofing failures in 5–12 story residential buildings before they escalate into seven-figure lawsuits.
Every system. Every floor.
No assumption left undocumented.
Cards alternate between clean systems and documented findings — the same rhythm we walk every building.

"A moisture reading of 94% at a balcony threshold is not a maintenance note.
It is a lawsuit waiting for a rainstorm."

Threshold: ≤ 75% acceptable
What boards and managers say
after the report lands.
$2.3M
Reserves Protected
"BuildingInspect found 14 documented deficiencies our original contractor never disclosed. The report stopped a board vote that would have cost us $2.3 million in misallocated reserves."
Margaret Holbrook
Board President
The Meridian, 11-Story Condo — Scottsdale, AZ
10-Year
Capital Plan Delivered
"We inherited a 1987 concrete-frame building and had no idea what we were walking into. Their report gave us a 10-year capital plan with prioritized line items. It changed how we manage the asset entirely."
David Okonkwo
Senior Property Manager
Sandpiper Residences, 8-Story — Phoenix, AZ
3 Floors
Cleared Before CO
"We were 60 days from CO when they flagged a fire suppression gap violation across three floors. We fixed it pre-occupancy. Would have been a nightmare post-sale."
