The terms have been worked out the deal has closed and now the property is part of your portfolio. In a perfect scenario plans can move forward and the next phase of the project will be underway. However, it is rare to find a “perfect” scenario. To avoid delays or unexpected costs it is wise to consider the industrial hygiene of a property and NV5 has the professionals to assist.
How Certified Industrial Hygienists Add Value
Certified Industrial Hygienists are highly qualified, trained professionals that look beyond the shiny façade and street view of a property to see what may lurk beneath. They specialize in mold and asbestos assessments as well as lead, radon and drinking water testing and other related products that impact the health of the building as well as the health of its occupants.
Requesting any of these reports on the front end can save time, money and aggravation down the road. For example, a small multi-family property may be on the market and several buyers are interested. During the due diligence, a mold study is requested, and the building is found to be fully contaminated with black mold necessitating tens of thousands of dollars in remediation before future occupancy. For some, this may kill the deal, for others it may help in improving the terms of the deal as the purchaser may negotiate a better price to offset the post-purchase clean-up.
In the United States there are approximately 7000 Certified Industrial Hygienists and of that number roughly 50% work for the government. Finding the right industrial hygiene technician in your market to provide a complete and accurate environmental site assessment can be difficult.
