Commercial Inspection FAQs
What types of commercial properties do you inspect?
We inspect a wide range of commercial properties, including office buildings, retail stores and strip malls, industrial warehouses, restaurants, and multi-family residential buildings like apartment complexes.
How does a commercial inspection differ from a residential one?
Commercial inspections are broader in scope. They cover all the systems of a residential inspection but also include commercial-grade systems, parking lots, public accessibility (ADA compliance), fire safety systems, and the unique construction components of commercial buildings.
How long does a commercial inspection take?
The time required varies greatly depending on the size, age, and complexity of the property. A small retail space might take a few hours, while a large industrial warehouse could take a full day or more. We can provide a time estimate when you request a quote.
What standards do you follow for commercial inspections?
Our commercial inspections generally follow the standards set by ASTM E2018-15, the recognized guide for Property Condition Assessments.
Why is a commercial inspection important for a business owner or investor?
A commercial inspection provides a detailed assessment of the property's condition, helping you understand potential immediate repair costs and future capital expenditures. It's a crucial part of due diligence that can save you from significant unexpected expenses.
Does your inspection include specialized systems like commercial kitchens or elevators?
Our standard commercial inspection includes a visual assessment of these systems. However, for a detailed operational analysis, we recommend consulting with a qualified specialist in those fields, and we can help coordinate that if needed.
