Commercial Building Inspections
- Commercial building inspections are primarily about direct observation and verification by qualified inspectors who adhere to third-party guidelines and checklists.
- Inspections encompass a thorough physical examination of a building or facility to confirm adherence or compliance with specific standards. They will employ checklists, direct observations, and testing equipment as part of the scope of the inspection. The primary purpose of building inspections is to pinpoint the defects of the building, any visible deviations from building standards, and non-compliance with regulations and ordinances put in place by government agencies.
- The frequency of building inspections can vary depending on the guidelines set forth by the agencies governing the location, building type, service type, and more. Some inspections adhere to a rigid schedule.
- Expect inspections to be quicker than assessments; typically, an inspection will consist of one to a few days on-site with minimal reporting time.
- Inspections will produce a concise report that shows a list of found physical problems and non-compliance issues.

How does the process of requesting commercial services work?
Requesting a Proposal + Scheduling the Services
Our admin team will gather the essential information about the property and present a proposal for the services the client is requesting. If accepted, we will provide confirmation and officially schedule the project.
Consultation with the Inspector
All work requiring site inspections will need a pre-inspection meeting; this is typically via phone call but can also occur in person if the project requires on-site evaluation before the inspection date. In this meeting, the inspector will discuss the overall work process, property details, and any relevant issues.
Site Inspection
We will perform a comprehensive on-site inspection of the commercial property. The work will include identifying and inventorying qualifying component assets, taking measurements and photographs, and collecting condition assessment data.
Report Writing
Once back in the office, we will begin the report preparation process. The depth and scope of the report will depend on the services performed by the inspector.
Report Submission & Review
Once the reports are complete, we inform the client that all documents and reports are available for review on the inspection portal.
Optional Follow-Up Consultation
At the client's preference, the inspector can be available for a phone call to discuss and review the findings.
