Buyers and users of just about any commercial property can benefit from an inspection conducted by a qualified Inspection Company. Even new construction can have physical deficiencies that could eventually require costly repairs. Buildings targeted for renovation or reuse – such as office to residential or warehouse to retail—can also benefit from a review to determine if these facilities and systems function properly.
The goal of a Commercial Property Inspection is to identify and communicate observable, physical deficiencies of the material systems, components, and equipment within a commercial property.
A baseline commercial property inspection relies on a walk-through survey, to determine the property’s condition. The report includes information about the property as well as opinions on probable cost for suggested remedies.
