We specialize in construction loan monitoring, document and cost reviews, property condition assessments, construction cost consulting, SBA funds control, and owner’s representation.

CONSTRUCTION LOAN MONITORING
Construction Loan Monitoring services consist primarily of an initial Document and Cost Review, monthly site inspections and reporting, and a final closeout report; all with emphasis on project cost, time, quality and conformance of completed work. We work closely with project teams throughout the construction process to gather documentation and gain a clear understanding of issues as they arise in order to facilitate expedient resolutions and ensure successful project completions.
PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND CONSTRUCTION COST CONSULTING
Our property assessment reviews are tailored to meet each individual properties needs. We have experience completing assessment reports meeting ASTM E2018-15, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, HUD, and multiple State Agency reporting requirements. Property inspections are completed to document existing conditions, immediate physical needs, physical needs over the term, adverse property conditions, deferred maintenance items and life safety and accessibility issues. We offer HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Property Condition Assessments inclusive of energy audits, utility consumption baseline analysis, and CNA e-Tool input.
Cost consulting includes reserve for replacement analysis, insurable value estimates, replacement costs, costs to complete, costs to cure deferred maintenance items and cost approach estimates.
PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT (ESA)
Our Phase I ESAs identify historical environmental conditions (HRECs), controlled environmental conditions (CRECs), and recognized environmental conditions (RECs), as well as de minimis conditions of a specific property. To conduct a Phase I ESA, MCC performs a physical in-person assessment of the site and reports on the existing conditions. Interviews with owners, users, occupants, key site operators, and any other entities familiar with the property are performed. We research the historical background, including but not limited to topographic maps, fire insurance maps, aerial photographs, and city directories. Local municipalities are contacted for the former and current standings of the property, as well as any historical violations or other pertinent data. A review of local, state, tribal, and federal government databases are examined. MCC establishes the complete picture of the property, which includes the physical characteristics and surrounding areas, to identify any potential environmental risk. Findings are established in a formal report and are signed by an Environmental Professional (EP).
