The conditions of a site are critical to determining the requirements for electrical, mechanical and plumbing. The Summit Group can assist in conducting a comprehensive survey of all existing conditions and guide a project through the myriad of key issues including: necessary zoning approvals; inspections; evaluating space conditions and requirements; assessing utility needs and the costs to increase power, water and sewer capacities if needed; survey ventilation requirements; provide financial analysis and feasibility recommendations for a proposed project; and lease negotiation consultation. We can provide comparative cost benefit studies when comparing two or more prospective sites.
