AEI Consultants vs Inspectify

Building assessments — Phase I ESA, PCA, and related environmental/engineering due diligence

This is for acquisition teams and lenders who need a Phase I ESA or PCA report attached to a closing binder, not software to buy. AEI is a well-established, insurance-and-lender-accepted environmental/engineering firm, which matters when a bank's due diligence checklist specifies who can sign the report. It's not a platform play — pricing is deal-by-deal and turnaround depends on their local coverage and inspector availability, so it's not the right fit if you need instant, self-serve reports at portfolio scale.

AI-assisted property inspection — photograph mechanical equipment for instant condition assessment (corrosion, leaks, age markers)

Relevant to multifamily and residential acquirers wanting fast, AI-assisted condition assessments of mechanical equipment — photographing rather than manually inspecting for corrosion, leaks, and age markers speeds up the physical due diligence process meaningfully at scale. Without published pricing and as a newer entrant, validate assessment accuracy against a licensed inspector's findings on a few units before relying on it exclusively; it's not a replacement for a full professional PCA on larger acquisitions.
