Commercial Property Inspections
Commercial property inspections cover a wide
variety of building types. Examples include the following:
- Restaurants
- Office Buildings
- Schools
- Large Apartment Complexes
- Retail Stores
- Strip Malls
- Industrial buildings
- Churches
- Warehouses, Storage garages
Commercial inspections are performed in accordance with ASTM standard E-2018 for property condition assessment. Many
of the items covered are similar to a residential inspection however; there are differences unique to commercial properties.
This not only applies to the property but the client too. Commercial clients can often be professionals or investors and tend
not to have a personal attachment to the structure as is typical with a residential inspection.
Some commercial properties
may require additional specialists. Examples would be environmental, electrical, or HVAC concerns. EIS will
determine the requirements and assemble the required team of specialists.
Commercial inspection reports are very comprehensive
and provide detailed photos of every system and component along with detailed narrative descriptions. Recommendations of life
expectancy of components and failure probability are part of a commercial inspection.
Fees for commercial inspections
vary widely and require estimates prior to inspection.
