Building Health Assessment (BHA)

The Building Health Assessment (BHA) is an in-depth inspection service designed to evaluate the physical condition of a building and individual units within a property complex.

Our extensive expertise in the operation and specific features of housing cooperatives positions THomXpert as the ideal choice for conducting a Building Health Assessment, ensuring an accurate evaluation tailored specifically to the realities of this type of housing.

We carry out this assessment following one or several detailed visits, meticulously examining each component of the building.

The BHA is essential for proactive real estate management, providing a clear and detailed view of the current state of your property assets, facilitating the planning of necessary renovations or maintenance work.
