We know buildings and we understand business.
Criterium-Cromer Engineers provides engineer-led evaluations and advisory services for commercial real estate across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. Our work supports acquisition, leasing, ownership, financing, and long-term planning by helping clients understand building condition, risk, and capital implications.
Commercial real estate decisions often require more than a simple inspection. Whether the need is transaction due diligence, lender support, baseline condition documentation, or capital planning, we focus on delivering clear, defensible engineering insight that fits the purpose of the decision being made.
Our services are used by property owners, tenants, investors, lenders, and advisors who need reliable technical information to evaluate buildings, manage risk, and plan responsibly.
All services are performed and or reviewed by a licensed Florida Professional Engineer (P.E.). Reports are written in plain language, supported by photographs, and tailored to the specific use case rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
A Commercial Building Inspection is a practical, engineer-led overview intended for pre-purchase and pre-lease decisions. It is based on visual observations of readily accessible areas and professional judgment. The goal is to identify material conditions, visible deficiencies, and near-term risks without the cost or formality of a full Property Condition Assessment.
- Typical focus: roofing, structure, envelope, MEP systems, and site conditions
- Best for: faster decision support and cost-effective due diligence
- Deliverable: written report with photographs and clear findings
A Property Condition Assessment is a more formal, comprehensive evaluation used for acquisition, financing, and formal due diligence. Our PCAs are performed in general accordance with ASTM E2018 and are designed to support lender and investor review. The report includes a defined planning horizon and can include order-of-magnitude cost opinions for near- and mid-term capital items.
- Typical focus: full building systems review plus documented deficiencies
- Best for: lender-driven requirements and higher-stakes transactions
- Deliverable: formal Property Condition Report with expanded narrative and photos
