A commercial inspection is similar to a home inspection, but with some key differences. Commercial buildings can vary widely, from office spaces to factories, and sometimes a combination of both.

What is a commercial building inspection?
The purpose of the inspection is to identify any structural or other issues with the property. These inspections are typically done at the beginning or end of a tenancy, or during the buying or selling of the property. Commercial building inspections are crucial as they ensure that the building owner's investment is secure and that the property is suitable for its intended purpose. This is especially important in the post-pandemic era where commercial property investments need to be carefully assessed. The inspection will reveal the true condition of the property, including any necessary remedial work or ongoing maintenance costs. These inspections are essential during specific stages of the transaction process and throughout the building's lifecycle to ensure the property remains safe and profitable.
What does a home inspection cover?
Commercial inspections are an integral part of the buying/leasing process as they provide crucial information about the condition of the property. During a Commercial inspection, inspectors thoroughly examine various aspects of the building to ensure its safety.
Here are some key areas that home inspectors focus on:
Exterior: The inspector carefully inspects the exterior of the budling, searching for cracks, missing siding, or any damage to the roof. These issues could potentially lead to water damage or allow pests to infiltrate the property. Additionally, if the foundation is visible, it will also be examined.
Interior: Similar to the exterior, the inspector assesses the interior of the building for any signs of damage. This includes inspecting walls, windows, and other visible aspects of the home to identify any potential issues.
Plumbing: The plumbing system is thoroughly inspected for visible leaks, functioning faucets, shower heads, and toilets. The inspector also checks if the exposed pipes are in good condition and not dangerously outdated.
Electrical: The electrical system is carefully examined by the inspector. They test all outlets and ensure that there are working ground circuit interrupters. The electrical panel is also inspected for any potential issues.
HVAC: The HVAC system and ducting are inspected to ensure that the furnace and air conditioner (if present) are in proper working condition. This examination ensures that the air quality and temperature control within the house meet the necessary standards.
