One Standard. Every Building.
One audit standard for every building and the grounds around it, so issues are caught before they surface.
Empirical Property Operations delivers structured oversight across your entire portfolio. Every scheduled visit combines roof drainage maintenance, a Five-Point Exterior Audit of every building and a Property-Wide Audit of the grounds, documented to one consistent standard at every property.
The Quality Control Standard: Why Accuracy Comes Before Speed
We do not send automated, unreviewed data, because instant reports are not thorough reports. Every report we deliver goes through a multi-step quality review. After our field team submits a visit, our main office reviews every photo and finding, checks them against the site records and prior visits, and approves the report before it is released. Immediate Attention items reach your designated contact the same day, and the full photo-documented report follows within three business days, so what reaches your capital budget is organized, consistent and checked.
The Empirical Standard
The Five-Point Exterior Audit
Every building, every visit, the same five points, photographed and documented to one consistent standard across your portfolio.
Roof Barrier
Roof covering, flashing, roof edges, standing water on low-slope roofs, and low-hanging tree branches over the roof line.
Water Drainage System
Gutters, scuppers, collector heads, commercial drains, downspouts, downspout outlets, surface drains and air-conditioning drain lines, with water flow confirmed after clearing.
Building Envelope
Wall cracks, structural staining, algae or biological growth, expansion joints, sealants, paint, soffit, fascia, trim, wall attachments and dryer vent exhausts.
Fenestrations
Glass, frames, perimeter sealants, entry doors, commercial storefront entries, thresholds, perimeter weatherstripping and exterior hardware.
Ground Assets
Parking lot surfaces, trip edges, cracked or lifted concrete slabs, standing water, slick or algae-covered walkways, steps, ramps, railings, light fixtures, signs, fences, landscape edges and waste facility areas.
