What happens next
From first call to a ranked list
Most engagements follow the same three steps. If your date is close, we compress them rather than skip them.
Scope call
A short conversation about your property, program, last inspection report and date. You come away with a written scope and fee, and an honest view of whether the time available is enough.
Pre-inspection survey
Units sampled the way HUD samples them, every item scored against its published standard. Surveys can usually start within 24 hours when the date is near.
Ranked report and repairs
Findings ordered by what they cost your score, not by how they look. Our crews can then close them, with dated before and after evidence for every correction.
Before you call
Four things that make the first call useful
None of these is required to get in touch. Having them to hand means the scope call ends with a real plan instead of a list of follow-up questions.
- Your most recent inspection report. The fastest way to predict what will be found is what was found last time.
- The inspection date, or the notice you received, if one has been set.
- Unit count and property type: public housing, HUD-assisted multifamily, LIHTC, voucher units or a mix.
- Known problem areas, especially findings that keep coming back cycle after cycle.
Questions
Before you get in touch
When should I schedule a pre-inspection?
Sixty to a hundred and twenty days ahead if you can, because the constraint is repair time rather than survey time. Roof, structural and mechanical work cannot be compressed.
If your date is nearer, we can usually survey within 24 hours, and we will tell you plainly what fits in the time available.
What is the difference between REAC and NSPIRE?
REAC is HUD's Real Estate Assessment Center, the office that conducts physical inspections. NSPIRE is the protocol those inspections now apply; it replaced UPCS in October 2023. If your property is inspected today, it is inspected under NSPIRE.
NSPIRE inspection covers the current protocol in detail.
Do you work in my state?
Yes. We work in all 50 states, including rural and remote properties, and multi-state portfolios run as a single engagement. See the coverage map for states and cities with local guidance.
We already received a low score. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is a large part of the work. We start from your report, separate accurate findings from those recorded against the wrong standard or location, prioritize corrections by deduction, and file an appeal where the evidence supports one. REAC consulting covers that route.
What does it cost?
It depends on unit count, the standard in scope and how close your date is. The scope call is free and ends with a written fee estimate. Our guide to inspection consultant costs shows typical industry ranges.
