Transaction Due Diligence - Property Upgrade/ Rehabilitation

		When purchasing property, the feasibility of alternative site uses and the associated costs may need to be considered. Information gathered by STS during the site condition survey phase can be used to assess the feasibility of alternative site uses. In addition, STS can provide pricing for the various upgrade options. Once the preferred plan is identified, STS can follow through with the design and construction monitoring. It is a natural progression to operate as project mangers who develop the concepts into complete facilities. Our clients have realized project efficiencies when they keep STS involved throughout the life of the project. STS offers the following property upgrade/rehabilitation services:
