Our Services

We provide complete commercial property inspection services according to the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties and the Code of Ethics.
We can provide a Phase I Environmental Assessment according to ASTM standards.

Key Systems and Components Inspected

Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling Systems (HVAC)

HVAC equipment is part of the “big three”— among the top three items to repair or replace at commercial buildings. Our inspectors assess all aspects of the HVAC system, including equipment, ventilation, and air distribution, to report on current conditions and help you evaluate or plan for any potential needs for repair or replacement.

Plumbing Systems

Properly functioning plumbing is critical to avoid water damage and maintain a safe environment. We inspect the condition of plumbing fixtures and restrooms, along with equipment like water heaters and piping to identify leaks or signs of wear that could lead to future expenses or downtime. Plumbing or moisture issues can quickly escalate into much larger problems if not addressed.

Electrical Systems

Reliable electrical systems are vital for business operations. We inspect the electrical system as it is distributed throughout the building to ensure it meet your needs and identify any potential safety or functionality concerns. We can help you decide if the system aligns with your business.

Roof Surface and Drainage

The roof is also part of the "big three"— one of the top three most critical and costly components in commercial buildings. Its condition is also critical to a building’s protection. We inspect roofing materials and drainage to spot issues that could impact the roof's performance and lifespan. Ensure the roof remains a durable, protective asset.

Exterior Elements and Parking Areas

Just as the exterior’s aesthetics matter to visitors, so does its condition for safe and easy access. We inspect windows, doors, siding, and site layout to ensure proper drainage and protect the building’s integrity. Our inspection also includes drainage paths, parking lot surfaces, lighting, and accessibility barriers, with wood decks and balconies checked for structural soundness. As part of the "big three," the parking area inspection is essential, so don’t overlook it.

Building Structure

A stable structure is the foundation of a safe building. We inspect the condition of foundations, basements, crawlspaces, and other structural elements like floors, walls, and ceilings. Even something as simple as excessive storage in a room can strain the structure. Our inspection identifies signs of movement or stress to prevent unsafe conditions and help you avoid major expenses.

Interior Areas and Elements

The interior includes doors, windows, stairways, and finishes, all of which affect the functionality and appearance of the property. We inspect these elements to spot any damage, hazards, or moisture issues to provide insight into maintenance needs. Every building is unique, so if your property includes features like loading docks, we’ll provide an overview of their presence and operation.

Life Safety Components

Safety features like emergency signs and lighting, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems are essential for occupant protection. We inventory key life safety components and review egress routes to ensure they are clear. Prioritizing your due diligence and commitment to safety, we ensure that every inspection supports a safe environment for all occupants.

Commercial Kitchens

If your property includes a commercial kitchen, we review critical elements like exhaust, ventilation, fire suppression systems, and grease management. These inspections help maintain safety and functionality for properties with food service operations. A poorly maintained kitchen can create serious hazards for both occupants and patrons
