CEI offers expeditious and reliable desk review services to clients desiring independent analysis of due diligence reports. Each client gains the ability to represent to lenders and principals that they are free from conflict of interest and reliance issues.

On every report, CEI engineers confirm that there are no open issues and that reserve costs are appropriate for the age and class of the property being assessed.

CEI performs these services for banks, REITs and mortgage servicing companies as well as property owners and developers.

Property Condition Assessments - CEI approaches each report focused on regulatory requirements and institutional specifications.

CEI engineers, architects and environmental scientists have the expertise and experience necessary to provide a "reality-check" of a report's context and practicality.
