Commercial inspections
Our commercial inspections are performed with great care and attention to detail.
THE BASICS OF COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTIONS
A commercial inspection is a visual check of the building’s condition — its structure, systems, and major parts. Our commercial inspections follow the CCPIA Standards of Practice, the leading commercial inspection standard in the country. The inspection is not a code inspection. It does not cover zoning, permits, or environmental rules. Those need separate specialists.
We visually inspect the readily accessible components covered by the CCPIA Standards of Practice, including the roof, exterior, structural components, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and interior. Specialty systems — including fire suppression systems, sprinkler systems, and elevators — are outside the scope of our inspection and require separate qualified specialists.
We provide a written report of the conditions observed during the inspection, with clear next steps.

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF A COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTION?
Commercial buildings require regular inspections to make sure everything is working properly. This includes roofing, heating/cooling systems, fire safety, electrical wiring, and plumbing. These types of inspections are important because they help determine how long the structure will last before it needs replacing. In addition, they help reduce the risk of loss due to damage caused by neglect or natural disasters.
We focus on the overall condition of the property and look for items of concern that will likely affect the cost of operation of the building, restrict your intended use, or perhaps expose you to expensive upgrades to comply with the latest building codes if you make improvements to the property.
Commercial properties have certain limitations and are generally expensive to keep up with. A commercial property assessment will allow you to identify any potential issues that may affect the building from a physical, financial, and health and safety perspective. This information can potentially be worth thousands of dollars in the future and ultimately helps you determine whether a property is a good investment.
