Many building owners and buyers encounter third-party inspections during financing, refinancing, acquisitions, or portfolio reviews. These inspections are typically commissioned by lenders to evaluate collateral condition and risk exposure.
While these inspections are a standard part of the financing process, their purpose is to protect the interests of the lending institution. As a result, they focus on identifying deficiencies, deferred maintenance, and potential risk—often without full consideration of operational context, planned capital improvements, or day-to-day management realities.
FROCA Group provides owner-side facility risk and operational condition assessments designed to give owners and buyers clarity before lender or third-party reviews occur.
Our assessments help stakeholders:
FROCA assessments do not replace lender inspections.
They provide ownership with insight, context, and preparedness so there are no surprises when those inspections take place.
The problem isn’t new.
The pain isn’t new.
The risk isn’t new.
The clarity is.
