Commercial Inspections
A Commercial Inspection aims to equip you, the client, with a comprehensive understanding of the physical condition of the property and buildings in question, facilitating an informed purchasing decision. This inspection involves a detailed visual assessment during a walk-through survey of the property, complemented by thorough research, culminating in a meaningful report. The findings reported are based on both observations and research conducted by the inspector.
It's important to note that a commercial inspection is neither a guarantee nor a code compliance, architectural, engineering, or appraisal service. Instead, it focuses on identifying potential issues that, in the inspector's opinion, may be of interest and thus enhance your knowledge about the property. This improved insight aids decision-making concerning purchasing, selling, and managing or upgrading the property.
The scope of a commercial inspection encompasses a non-invasive, visual examination of the interior and exterior accessible areas of a property performed for a fee, this inspection targets defects in specific systems and components deemed significant by the inspector. The inspection adheres to the CCPIA International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties covering areas such as the surface grading and drainage, roofing, exterior, basement, foundation and structure, heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, fireplace, attic, insulation and ventilation, doors, windows and the interior.
