Meet Richard: one minute on how we work.

You deal with Richard directly, from the first call to the walk-through of your report. Here he explains where he comes from and what you get.

  • 10+ Years Commercial Construction Experience
  • Contractor-Informed Cost-to-Cure Estimates
  • 3–5 Business Day Guaranteed Delivery

Filmed by Richard on a roof in South Florida, in his own words, with photos from his own projects. Some background footage is illustrative.

Fixed-fee proposals within one business day.

Five services, one standard of evidence.

Every engagement ends in the same place: a photo-documented report with numbers a lender, an attorney or an investment committee can rely on.

Pre-purchase baseline evaluations and 10-year capital reserve schedules for buyers and SBA financing.

Twelve things we look for on every commercial exterior.

Small items on the report. Real money if they sit for three years. Each one is photographed, arrow-marked and priced.

Photos from Richard's own projects and site walks. Ten years of building these systems is what makes it quick to see when one is failing.

Where an inspection changes the outcome.

Three common situations in South Florida commercial deals, and what a condition report does in each. These are illustrative examples, not past client engagements.

Buyer under contract, SBA 504 loan

The rooftop units nobody looked at

A warehouse shows well from the ground. On the roof, several package units are past their service life with corroded coils. A line-item replacement figure, say $62,000, reaches the buyer's broker inside the inspection period, in time to negotiate a credit instead of inheriting the bill.

Tenant signing a NNN lease

A baseline before the keys change hands

Under a triple-net lease the tenant often owns the HVAC and sometimes the roof. A dated, photographed baseline of every system documents what was already worn on day one, so the surrender conversation five years later is about evidence, not memory.

Asset manager, pre-storm season

Finding the loose ends in May, not September

A portfolio walk before hurricane season checks roof attachments, rooftop equipment anchorage, drains and openings, then ranks each building by exposure so the maintenance budget goes where a storm would hurt most.

Tell us about the property. We'll tell you if the date works.

Four details are enough to scope a proposal. You'll get a fixed fee and a delivery date back the same business day.

How fast do I get my report?

We understand commercial due diligence deadlines. We deliver your full written report within 3 to 5 business days of our physical on-site walk-through. If your completed report is not delivered within 5 business days, we credit $250 toward your final invoice.

Meet Richard.

Richard Carfagna spent more than ten years in construction, previously as the owner of a commercial general contracting firm handling repairs, remodels and commercial jobs. He has priced, scheduled and built the fixes that inspection reports only describe, which is why his cost-to-cure numbers read like a bid and not a guess.

He started Asset Inspection Group to bring that contractor's eye to due diligence. If you run CRE deals or SBA loans in Palm Beach, Broward or Miami-Dade, connect with Richard on a 15 minute intro call. Bring a deal you're worried about. You'll leave knowing what a condition assessment would and wouldn't tell you about it.
