Physical Needs Assessments | PNA

Our Firm offers detailed reports to help your re-design or evaluation.

ESI provides excellence in the field of Physical Needs Assessments, or (PNA)'s. Our background and expertise in contracting, design, and investigative work will help property managers and business owners modify an existing property for optimal performance, aesthetics, and building-code agreement.

Why Conduct a PNA?

A Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) is often required by lenders to ensure that the property will retain marketability for the term of the loan.  ESI performs PNAs with HUD guidelines.  By combining our expertise in contracting, design, and investigative work, ESI can identify the current needs of the property as well as issues that will arise.  We provide you with a concise, timely evaluation.

A Physical Needs Assessment evaluates the property's existing physical condition, future physical needs and the costs of replacing systems and components which have reached the end of their remaining useful life.

The PNA will include:

  • Inspection on a percentage of units determined by the total number of units and building types
  • A narrative of the buildings systems and components
  • Photos of typical components and deficiencies
  • A spreadsheet of containing estimated useful lives, remaining useful lives, estimated time frame for replacement and estimated cost of replacement
  • Prioritized repairs
  • Interviews with on-site managers and maintenance personnel
