Commercial real estate brokers face a specific challenge on roof due diligence: closing deadlines are unforgiving, buyer attention on roof condition is increasing (especially for older commercial buildings in hurricane-zone or hail-prone markets), and the quality of the condition report materially affects transaction terms. A properly-scoped report delivered under deadline supports clean transactions; a late or inadequate report creates friction and can kill deals. Our workflow is built for broker requirements: expedited delivery when needed, confidential NDA-covered engagement, transaction-relevant framework, and post-delivery consultation.
Standard delivery runs 5-10 business days from on-site inspection to final report. Expedited delivery runs 3-5 business days with rush premium (typically 20-30% above base pricing) for closing-deadline scenarios. For urgent closings with tight due diligence windows, we can schedule site inspection within 2-3 business days of request. For multi-building portfolio transactions, phased delivery with building-by-building reports typically runs 15-30 days for 5-10 buildings. Base pricing runs $1,800-4,500 per single building; multi-building portfolio volume pricing reduces to $1,400-3,000 per building.
Our broker-side due-diligence report includes roof system identification (membrane type, manufacturer if identifiable, approximate install date), remaining useful life estimate (0-5, 5-10, 10-20+ years — the primary data point for buyer decisions), visual condition assessment with photo documentation, moisture mapping (infrared thermography or electrical conductance), core samples confirming system cross-section, drone imagery of full roof, repair vs replacement decision framework with budget ranges, and material concerns affecting closing. Post-delivery consultation call with buyer and broker to walk through findings.
For confidentiality, standard NDA applies on all due-diligence engagements. Report format can include or exclude building identification per broker/buyer preference — useful for competitive transaction scenarios where report may be shared with multiple parties. For buyer's-only due diligence, report delivered exclusively to broker/buyer with no contractor-side marketing or public documentation. Our work provides technical roof expertise for the transaction; we don't compete with broker or agent on parallel brokerage or owner-side representation. Our roof condition report workflow page has the full report structure detail.
Single-building reports run $1,800-4,500. Expedited delivery carries 20-30% premium. Multi-building portfolio volume pricing applies to 5+ buildings. Anonymous report format available at no premium for competitive transaction scenarios.
Six-phase workflow from broker intake through transaction support. Expedited workflow compresses phases 2-5 to 3-5 business days total.

For standard 5-10 day delivery: site inspection within 3-7 days of intake. For expedited 3-5 day delivery: site inspection within 2-3 days with rush premium. Seller-side access coordination through broker or directly with seller's representative per broker preference. For occupied buildings: tenant coordination as needed.

Visual condition, moisture mapping (infrared or electrical conductance), 4-12 core samples, drone imagery with annotated condition notes. For occupied buildings: minimal-disruption approach with sealed core sample repairs before crew leaves roof.
Report compiled with buyer-side framework: system identification, remaining useful life estimate, visual condition, moisture map, core sample analysis, drone imagery, repair vs replacement decision framework with budget ranges, and material concerns affecting closing. Format tailored to broker/buyer preferences.
Report delivered to broker/buyer within scope timeline — standard 5-10 days or expedited 3-5 days. PDF format for document retention and due-diligence package integration. Post-delivery consultation call scheduled with broker and buyer to walk through findings and answer questions.
For follow-on support: price negotiation consultation with objective technical data; seller-credit scope development where roof work becomes closing condition; post-closing capital planning for owner-user acquisition; integration with ongoing facility management relationship if buyer intends to retain us for ongoing work.
Investment sale due diligence, portfolio acquisition condition assessment, owner-user pre-purchase inspection, pre-listing sell-side documentation, and refinance-required condition reports across NC, SC, GA, TN commercial markets.
Investment sale transactions — commercial property acquisition by institutional investor, REIT, private equity, or family office. Almost always includes roof condition report as standard due diligence deliverable. Our reports integrate directly with common buyer-side due diligence templates used by institutional investors. For large Class A office investment sales, rooftop mechanical equipment inventory and tenant impact analysis add to standard report content. For distribution warehouse investment sales, our distribution warehouse roofing context informs buyer capital planning.
Owner-user acquisition — commercial property acquisition by buyer who intends to occupy or operate (not hold as investment). Report informs post-closing capital planning and operational transition. Often leads to post-closing relationship where we become the facility's roofing contractor. For manufacturing facility owner-user acquisitions, OEM facility spec context applies. For cold storage and food processing owner-user acquisitions, specialized building-type condition analysis.
Portfolio acquisition — multi-building portfolio transactions require portfolio-wide condition assessment with consolidated reporting. Typical for REITs acquiring from REITs, PE firms assembling or disposing of portfolios, and family office portfolio acquisition. Report structure: consolidated portfolio summary plus per-building detail sections. Multi-building pricing volume discount applies.
Refinance due diligence — lender-required condition documentation for commercial refinance on older buildings. Report format adjusts to lender requirements (typically ASHRAE/ASTM-compliant property condition assessment or lender-specific format).
Major tenant lease due diligence — for long-term triple-net leases where roof condition materially affects tenant capital exposure, tenant representation brokerage may commission condition report for prospective tenant. Report informs lease negotiation on roof-related provisions.
Pre-listing sell-side documentation — seller-commissioned condition report before going to market. Value: seller confidence, pricing defense, anticipating buyer objections, marketing documentation for well-maintained properties. Format emphasizes objective condition documentation rather than buyer-side negotiation focus.
