When you're managing or investing in commercial property, peace of mind doesn't come from guessing—it comes from knowing. That’s exactly what MR Engineering delivered when they recently conducted a full-scale Property Condition Assessment (PCA) of a well-frequented shopping plaza at 5804 Terrace Road NW in Edmonton.
Built in 1985 and home to businesses like Fire & Flower, Panago Pizza, and Capilano Pharmacy, this commercial hub needed a health check. Not just a surface look—but a detailed, professional, engineering-grade inspection. The kind of due diligence that helps property owners avoid nasty surprises and plan smart for the future.
Why This Assessment Mattered
Think of a PCA like a full-body scan for your building. MR Engineering didn’t just walk through and snap a few photos. Their team, led by Structural specialist Mohammed Taher Ahmed Silledar, carried out a methodical inspection based on ASTM standards—one of the most trusted frameworks in the industry.
The result? A deep dive into everything from the roof to the foundation, with expert eyes on structural soundness, drainage, mechanical systems, and even the landscaping.
What They Found
The good news: The plaza is in solid shape overall. No red flags, no structural surprises. But MR Engineering’s value lies in the details. They caught things others might miss:
- Cracked sidewalks near storefronts—small now, but a liability waiting to happen
- Roof gravel missing in spots, opening the door to insulation issues
- Overgrown moss on parts of the roof that could lead to water damage
- Expired fire extinguishers—a silent but serious safety lapse
- Aging rooftop HVAC units in Building 2 that might not survive another deep freeze
Rather than scare you, MR Engineering gives you clarity. Their report doesn’t just say what’s wrong—it outlines exactly what to do next and how urgent it is.
