Assess a car wash against water, wastewater and vehicle movement. Passing traffic does not establish a convenient lawful entrance.

Before the transaction, compare future operations with the property condition. An assessment helps identify constraints before equipment orders and questions to resolve with the owner. Estimate preparation costs after assessing the necessary changes.

Why check drainage before ordering equipment?

Establish effluent characteristics and acceptance conditions, treatment and connection feasibility. An ordinary drain does not establish readiness for washing operations. Describe detergents, water demand and operating hours.

How can I assess actual throughput?

Draw entry, queue, washing, drying and exit at real dimensions. Vehicles must not obstruct pedestrian routes or create street hazards. Separately assess pump and compressor noise, spray, lighting and treatment-system maintenance.

What should the pre-contract assessment include?

Prepare a dimensioned plan and check the following parts of the project:

  • water and discharge conditions
  • treatment and maintenance
  • queues and manoeuvring
  • noise and neighbours
  • power and equipment

For each item, establish the existing condition, required change and feasibility. Request equipment data and maintenance conditions. Where information is missing, record a survey question rather than confirmed feasibility. Photographs and seller assurances do not replace an inspection.

Which documents should I compare with the property?

Compare existing plans, approved use and work records with actual conditions. Establish procedures for the chosen activity and alterations. Previous documents provide useful inputs, but their applicability to the new project needs separate checking. Resolve shared-element works and access rights before contractual commitments.

What else should I check in Valencia?

Determine procedures for the specific address and project. City of Valencia conditions do not automatically apply to other municipalities in the province. Before works, clarify permitted use, required technical documents and the conditions for starting operations.

What if the property is already selected or work has started?

First record discrepancies between the concept, documents and actual property. Separate necessary corrections from optional changes. Then compare alternatives by work scope and operational effects. Do not repeat finishes or pay for potentially unsuitable equipment before identifying the cause.

How can NEXEVO help establish the next steps?

NEXEVO can assess the property’s documentary and technical condition and coordinate relevant specialists. Findings help identify constraints, investigations and the sequence of design. Feasibility depends on the property and chosen format.

Contact NEXEVO for a property assessment before a transaction, equipment order or further works.

Frequently asked questions

No. Compare them with the current condition and new project; applicability and amendment procedures need separate checking.
