We inspect commercial properties to help our clients understand buildings they currently own, or are considering leasing or purchasing. Our inspections cover key structural components such as the foundation, roof, exterior walls, parking areas, and drainage systems. We look for signs of deterioration or deferred maintenance that could impact the property’s safety or value.
Along with the structure, we assess the performance and safety of major building systems, including electrical panels, plumbing lines, HVAC units, and fire safety equipment. We make sure these systems comply with current codes and are capable of supporting the building’s intended use. By identifying existing or potential issues, we give property owners and investors the information they need to plan repairs, upgrades, or negotiations.
We also offer specialized services tailored to commercial needs. These may include environmental assessments, ADA compliance reviews, thermal imaging, or roof condition reports. Whether it’s an office complex, warehouse, or retail space, our goal is to provide clear, detailed insights so our clients can make informed, strategic decisions about their investments.
Please call for a phone consultation or to make an appointment for an on-site consultation, if applicable.
