Understand the building. Plan what comes next.
Practical condition documentation for commercial property buyers, owners, investors, and managers—focused on accessible building systems and the decisions ahead.
Plan your inspectionA property-specific scope
A closer look at the building you rely on.
Commercial properties differ in construction, occupancy, equipment, and access. We confirm the purpose of your inspection and the areas to be reviewed before the visit, then document visible conditions, limitations, and practical follow-up needs.
Site, parking, and drainage
Review accessible parking areas, walkways, curbs, site drainage, and retaining features for visible deterioration, trip concerns, and conditions that may direct water toward the building.
Roof covering and drainage
Review safely accessible roof coverings, flashing, penetrations, drains, and gutters. Document visible deterioration, patching, ponding evidence, and water-entry concerns.
Exterior walls and openings
Review accessible cladding, trim, windows, exterior doors, and seals. Document visible damage and conditions affecting weather resistance and maintenance.
Structure and foundation
Observe accessible foundation and structural components for visible cracking, movement, moisture, and deterioration. Significant concerns may call for evaluation by a qualified engineer.
Interiors and tenant spaces
Review agreed accessible tenant spaces and common areas, including finishes, doors, ceilings, and visible moisture evidence. Record access restrictions and areas outside the assignment.
Electrical service and distribution
Review accessible service equipment, distribution panels, visible wiring, and devices. Document observed condition, identifiable equipment information, and visible safety concerns.
Plumbing and restrooms
Review accessible supply and drainage components, fixtures, and restrooms for leaks, corrosion, and observable functional concerns within the agreed scope.
Domestic hot water
Review accessible water-heating equipment, visible piping, and related installation conditions. Identify observable concerns and limitations without determining system design adequacy.
Heating, cooling, and ventilation
Review accessible HVAC equipment, distribution, and controls. Document identifiable equipment and condition concerns; basic operation depends on safe access, weather, and operating status.
Stairs, exits, and common routes
Observe accessible stairs, handrails, guards, exit doors, and common travel routes. Document visible obstructions and condition concerns relevant to occupant use.
Visible fire protection features
Document visible alarms, sprinklers, extinguishers, and related equipment where present, along with available inspection records or tags. System testing and certification require qualified specialists.
Accessible routes and entry features
Record observable entrance, route, parking, and restroom features where relevant to the assignment. A formal accessibility or regulatory compliance assessment is a separately defined service.
When applicable
Coordinate property-specific equipment and access.
Commercial kitchens, elevators, specialized machinery, process equipment, and other systems may require a separately defined scope or specialist evaluation. Identify these features when requesting the visit. Tenant spaces, roofs, electrical rooms, mechanical areas, and available maintenance records should be coordinated in advance.
Your inspection record
Findings you can use for the next decision.
The report brings together observed conditions, photographs, access limitations, and recommendations for repair or further evaluation. It supports property review and maintenance planning. Repair-cost estimates, reserve studies, environmental investigations, and specialist testing are included only if separately agreed.
Inspection boundaries
A visual review of accessible conditions.
The inspection is non-invasive and reflects conditions at the time of the visit. It does not certify code compliance, assess concealed components, or replace engineering design and specialist system testing. The final scope is established in the inspection agreement.
