Commercial building and renovation inspections

Why commercial building inspections are important

Are you buying a commercial building?

Signing a long-term lease?

Do yourself a favor and book a professional inspection.

Think about it: At home, a roof leak or a wet basement will get your attention right away.

You’re also likely to do something about an air conditioning or heating system that’s not quite doing the job.

But at work? Too often, owners of commercial property don’t pay the same close attention to maintenance as a homeowner does.

They’re focused on running a business, not on the building they’re working in.

In our 40 years of inspecting residential and commercial properties, we’ve seen it dozens of times…

We are more likely to find serious problems in a commercial building than in a residential property.

We find issues with plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling systems – even environmental hazards like friable asbestos or a brick wall ready to collapse.

Owners of commercial property tend to put up with these things longer than homeowners.

And they’re more likely to accept a low-cost “solution” they would never tolerate in their own home.

But friable asbestos can delay a mortgage application. So can an unsteady wall.

If you are buying a property or signing a long-term lease, you need to know what you can expect down the road.

You need a commercial building inspection.

Even if the inspection is as simple as examining a medical doctor’s office rental, wouldn’t you like to know that half the windows won’t open?

For larger buildings, or even a multi-story condominium association, we put together a team of engineers and contractors to find any problems that can cause expensive and unexpected surprises in the future.
