TRC provides on-site assessments for individual facilities or entire property portfolios to gather accurate, up-to-date data about existing assets and those targeted for acquisition or disposition. Our full-service consulting capabilities allow us to analyze building details from every angle and gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced during litigation, emergency repair projects, capital improvements and transactions.

At TRC, we deliver solutions, from assessing a property to managing construction, including the financial details.
TRC maintains a nationwide staff of experienced building experts solely dedicated to Property Condition Assessment (PCA) services. Our assessors are trained in all aspects of the ASTM E2018 – 15 guidelines that outline methods for performing property assessments and developing baseline conditions reports. In addition, our assessors have strong backgrounds in architecture, engineering and building science disciplines. We regularly provide this type of due diligence for clients involved with real estate transactions, litigation and maintenance or improvement planning. Services include:
Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs) include the base scope of services outlined in the ASTM Standard for PCAs, with additional services for building owners and facility managers who require long-term planning for their owned facilities. We provide services ranging from standard reporting with cost estimates to ongoing consulting with implementation or data entry for facility management software packages for clients with multiple facilities to track.
Using state-of-the-art investigative technologies and methods, TRC can accurately evaluate fully developed or partially constructed real estate assets that may be damaged, worn down or pose negative cost impacts.
We test roofing, windows, doors, cladding, insulation systems and exterior joints and layers to investigate R-values, weather resilience, hazardous materials risks and estimated useful life (EUL) using destructive and nondestructive testing, including thermal imaging, seismic monitoring and building security assessments.
Our testing and analysis provide critical pre construction data for emergency repairs, mold removal, renovations and abatements, and accessibility improvements, as well as determination of Scenario Expected Loss (SEL), LEED certification and energy cost containment programs.
TRC’s multidisciplinary staff follows through on field analysis and advances our recommendations through construction. We have the architects and civil or site, structural and MEP staff to produce the final designs, oversee bidding and construction and perform final closeout to verify that completed work is code-compliant and meets approved plans and specifications.
TRC’s facility specialists are experienced in providing services related to construction monitoring for progress payments and related needs. We evaluate draw requests submitted by the contractor for payment and can track actual project completion versus the original schedule.

California has passed landmark directives over the last several years to drive carbon neutrality by 2045 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles and buildings. These directives have motivated local cities and counties to meet their climate action goals and prompted two community choice aggregators (CCAs)—Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) and Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE)—to provide resources that help communities deliver on these goals.
