Transaction Due Diligence - Building Component Evaluations

		When purchasing a building, unknown repair and upgrade needs have the potential to greatly impact your total cost. STS’s Building Components Evaluation assesses the existing building condition and identifies the issues that need attention either now or in the near future. In addition, STS will provide you with cost estimates for the identified issues to use in your due diligence analysis. Our Building Component Evaluation will help take the unknowns out of your building purchase.
