History

Partner is a national due diligence provider for Phase I environmental site assessments, property condition assessments, probable maximum loss reports, construction services, and site mitigation and clean-up. In 2009, Partner acquired two (2) other firms that provided similar services, Colorado-based US Reports[1], and Virginia-based LandAmerica Assessment Corporation[2]. The acquisition of these two companies has increased the variety of services provided by Partner while also greatly increasing Partner’s market share.

The company operates in five primary segments: Commercial Due Diligence, Carbon Footprinting, Energy Efficiency Surveys, Construction Services, and Site Clean-up/Mitigation.

Corporate Structure

Partner is a privately owned, SBE Women Owned business in which the company's principals hold an ownership stake in the company. Partner is incorporated in Los Angeles County in California, but provides services in all 50 states. Major Partner offices are located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, Denver, Charlotte, and New York.

Divisions

Partner Engineering and Science provides commercial real estate services, property appraisal and valuation, building and site assessments, survey coordination, and construction disbursement during the due diligence phase of commercial and residential property acquisitions.

Carbon Partner provides services to develop accurate measurement programs and sensible reduction goals that will reduce a business' impact on the environment and lower a business’ operating costs via the introduction of “green” technologies.

Partner Energy works with building owners and users to increase asset values, lower ownership costs, and promote environmental stewardship by recommending and implementing fiscally responsible and sustainable energy efficiency measures that reduce energy usage and carbon emissions.

Construction Services uses their staff of engineers and construction managers to provide a wide range of services in support of construction lending. The most common products are: Construction Budget Reviews, Plan Reviews, and Construction Draw Reviews.

Site Remediation and Clean-up is performed by Partner’s remediation engineers and geologists working together to choose the right technology and design remedial solutions that will take their clients to closure. This design element is critical to the success of the project and for creating an accurate budget.

The company provides its services to lenders, developers, real estate agents, attorneys, and property buyers and sellers. Partner serves commercial and residential customers with nationwide services through a network of highly trained and highly skilled Partner Associates.

Partner has also provided its services internationally, most commonly in Canada and Mexico.

Articles

Partner’s staff has also written several published articles on issues ranging from Radon in Granite Countertops[3] to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Loans[4] to new vapor-intrusion standards[5]. Copies of most of these articles can be found on Partner’s website as well as their original sources.
