Commercial Building Inspections

Commercial building inspections are a critical component of property management and real estate transactions. Whether you're buying, leasing, or maintaining a commercial property, a thorough inspection ensures the building's safety, compliance with regulations, and long-term value.

What is a Commercial Building Inspection?

A commercial building inspection is a detailed examination of the physical structure and systems within a commercial property. Our qualified inspectors will evaluate various aspects of the building including offices, hotels, pubs, retail structures, warehouses, hospitality, and industrial buildings.

Key Components of a Commercial Building Inspection

• Structural Integrity

The inspector evaluates the foundation, walls, roof, and load-bearing elements to ensure they are stable and free of damage, such as cracks or water intrusion.

• Electrical Systems

A preliminary inspection of the wiring, panels, outlets, and lighting systems is conducted to identify obvious risks such as improper installation or outdated components. This initial inspection needs to be followed up with a specific electrical inspection by a qualified tradesperson.

• Plumbing Systems

Again, a preliminary  plumbing inspection includes an assessment of pipes, fixtures, water heaters, and drainage systems to detect leaks, blockages, or inefficiencies. A plumbing inspection by a licensed tradesperson will be recommended.

• HVAC Systems

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems will also be visually inspected but specific testing and maintenance needs to be performed by a qualified tradesperson.

• Fire Safety

Our inspector will also provide a cursory review of fire alarms, extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and emergency exits. The purchaser / owner needs to contact a licensed safety officer to confirm the necessary equipment for any given site.

• Roofing and Exterior

If safe access is available, the roof will also be inspected for wear and tear, leaks, and structural damage. Exterior elements, such as cladding, windows, and landscaping, are also evaluated.
