Dallas–Fort Worth • North Texas • Statewide Texas Service Available
Art Neidich Property Inspection & Consulting provides professional Property Condition Observation & Reporting Services based on ICC Building Code and for lenders, financial institutions, investors, asset managers, property managers, commercial property owners and owners of income-producing real estate throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, North Texas and surrounding Texas markets.
Our services provide an independent, third-party record of observable property conditions, construction progress, occupancy, improvements and changes over time.
We focus on what can be observed, photographed, measured, documented and reported.
Whether you are managing a single rental property, commercial building, multifamily portfolio, construction loan or multiple income-producing properties, our objective is simple:
Observe it. Document it. Report it.
Lenders and financial institutions frequently require reliable field information concerning properties securing loans or receiving construction funding.
Our Lender Property Observation & Reporting Services provide independent field observations supported by clear written reporting and detailed photographic documentation.
Services may be customized to meet lender, servicer, investor or institutional reporting requirements.
Pay Application & Construction Draw Observation
Independent site observations can document the visible progress of construction associated with a contractor’s pay application or construction draw request.
Reporting may include:
Our role is to provide independent field observations and documentation that lenders can incorporate into their own draw-review and funding procedures.
Construction projects can change substantially between funding stages.
Periodic Construction Progress Observation & Reporting creates a dated visual and written record of observable project conditions and construction progress.
Services can be performed at predetermined construction milestones or at intervals established by the lender, owner, investor or project manager.
Documentation may include exterior and interior photographs, aerial photography, observable construction progress, installed materials, site conditions and other project-specific information requested by the client.
Our Occupancy Verification Services provide lenders, mortgage servicers, investors and property managers with independent documentation of the observable occupancy status of a property.
Depending upon the requested scope, reporting may document:
The report documents conditions observable at the time of the site visit and does not represent a title, ownership or legal occupancy determination.
Independent Documentation for Rental, Multifamily and Commercial Property Owners
Owners of income-producing properties need reliable information about the physical condition of their assets.
Our Income Property Condition Observation & Reporting Services establish a clear, dated record of observable conditions without providing engineering analysis or conclusions.
Services are available for:
The resulting documentation can assist property owners, asset managers and property managers with maintenance planning, historical recordkeeping, capital improvement documentation and comparison of conditions over time.
A Baseline Property Condition Observation establishes a documented starting point for a property.
We photograph and document observable conditions existing on the date of service so that the information can be retained as part of the property’s historical records.
Baseline documentation may include:
Building Exterior
Exterior walls, roofing areas where observable, doors, windows, trim, penetrations, drainage components and other visible exterior conditions.
Building Interior
Accessible interior rooms, walls, ceilings, floors, doors, fixtures and other observable components included within the requested scope.
Site Conditions
Parking areas, sidewalks, driveways, grading, drainage, retaining components and other observable site improvements.
Building Systems
Observable portions of electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other building systems when included within the requested scope.
Photographic Documentation
Organized, date-specific photographs create a visual record of property conditions.
Conditions change.
A Property Condition Comparison Report documents observable differences between a previously established baseline and conditions observed during a subsequent site visit.
Comparison reporting can be valuable following:
The objective is not to determine why a condition changed.
Our role is to observe and document what has changed.
Rental and income property owners can benefit from establishing a clear record of property conditions before and after occupancy.
Our Move-In and Move-Out Observation & Reporting Services provide organized photographic and written documentation of observable property conditions at a specific point in time.
Documentation may include interior rooms, appliances, fixtures, walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, exterior areas and other components identified within the agreed scope.
This creates a valuable historical property record for owners and property managers.
Property conditions do not remain static.
Annual, semiannual, quarterly or customized Periodic Property Observation & Reporting allows owners and asset managers to establish an ongoing historical record of observable property conditions.
Periodic reporting can help document:
For owners managing multiple properties, a consistent observation and reporting program can provide valuable standardized documentation across an entire portfolio.
When requested, property observation services can be supplemented with ZIPLEVEL® relative floor elevation documentation.
ZIPLEVEL measurements establish a dated record of relative floor elevations at identified locations within accessible portions of a building.
This information can be retained for future comparison.
ZIPLEVEL documentation may be particularly useful for:
We document the measurements. We do not provide structural engineering analysis or determine foundation performance.
Aerial photography can provide an additional perspective that conventional ground-level photographs cannot.
When appropriate and permitted, drone documentation can supplement a property observation report by documenting:
Aerial documentation can be incorporated into baseline, comparison and construction progression reporting.
Not every lender, investor or property owner needs the same report.
Our observation and reporting services can be structured around the specific information the client needs documented.
Depending upon the assignment, deliverables may include:
Our focus is accurate field observation, organized documentation, consistent reporting and responsive service.
