Most owners already have contractors, managers and a stack of old reports. What's missing is one plan that shows what needs attention, what it will cost, and what comes first.

That plan is the NorthRidge Roadmap.

The NorthRidge Roadmap

A plan worth owning, even if no work follows.

You keep the report and the evidence behind it. Technical conclusions come from qualified specialists, and every recommendation traces back to a source.

Executive brief: The top findings, the decisions in front of you, our confidence, and what the review could not cover.
Asset and responsibility register: Every asset by ID and building, who is responsible for it, its condition, photos and source.
Findings, rated: Red, Yellow and Green, with urgency tracked separately from the year the work gets funded.
Capital roadmap: Immediate, 0 to 90 days, 3 to 12 months and years 2 to 5, with the dependencies between projects.
Options and dated costs: Repair, replace or investigate, with budget ranges from dated specialist sources. Never invented estimates.
Owner action list: What's approved, deferred or needs more investigation, each with a date and a named owner.

Every engagement runs in this order, and each stage ends with something you can hold in your hand.

Bid & SelectionFixed fee

Project CoordinationScoped

Schedule a Consultation

We work for the owner. Not the contractor.

You hire the contractors

Every repair contract stays between you and the contractor you choose, and you pay them directly.

No commissions

No referral fees, markups or share of any repair. Our only income is the fee you agree to in writing.

Affiliates disclosed

If a related company bids, you're told in writing first and get an independent comparison bid.

Specialists sign their work

Technical conclusions come from qualified specialists, inside their professional scope.

Serving Pittsburgh, Washington County and Fayette County. No guarantees about savings, insurance premiums or property value.

Show us the property that keeps costing you.

We'll ask about the problem, who approves spending and what reports you already have. Then we'll tell you plainly whether a Site Review is worth it.
