Commercial Inspections

Commercial inspections are not just limited to buyers of commercial property.  Current property owners, tenants, property managers, leasing agents or lenders all potentially have a need for a commercial property inspection.

Offering Commercial Property Inspections based on ASTM Standard E 2018-08 guide:

• Apartment
• Retail
• Industrial
• Warehouse
• Office
• New construction

The scope of my inspections starts with the baseline Property Condition Assessment process as outlined in the ASTM Standard E 2018-08 as a starting point. The scope of the standard can be expanded to include dismantling and operation of readily accessible equipment and systems, maintenance recommendations with budgets, long term replacement schedules and cost to remedy deficiencies with no minimum cost threshold. This usually eliminates the need for obtaining service documents and interviewing called for in in the standards. The end result can provide a more detailed picture of the condition of major and minor building components and maintenance (good or poor) has affected its life span and related maintenance costs. The final report will list the deficiencies, budgets figures to remedy them and a detailed report with representative photos where appropriate. Commercial property inspections and property condition assessments include the condition, life expectancy and repair/replacement budgets for the roof systems, electrical services, common plumbing including hot water heaters, heating units, HVAC units, interior/exterior walls, floors, windows and finished areas along with the grounds and surface lots adjacent to the building. When possible the report will include interviews with management and maintenance staff, providers of maintenance contracts on key components.
