Commercial Systems Inspected
A commercial building inspection typically covers a wide range of systems and components within the building. Some of the things that are typically covered in a commercial building inspection include:
-
Structural integrity: The inspector will check the building’s foundation, walls, floors, and roof for any signs of damage or deterioration.
-
Electrical systems: The inspector will check the building’s electrical systems, including wiring, circuits, and panels, to ensure that they are safe and in good working condition.
-
Plumbing systems: The inspector will check the building’s plumbing systems, including pipes, fixtures, and drainage, to ensure that they are safe and in good working condition.
-
HVAC systems: The inspector will check the building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to ensure that they are safe and in good working condition.
-
Fire safety: The inspector will check the building for the presence of fire safety systems, such as smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, fire alarms, and sprinklers. ***These systems require specialized inspection intervals, service, and/or maintenance by other professionals licensed to service these systems and are beyond the scope of a commercial property inspection.
-
Building envelope: The inspector will check the building’s exterior walls, windows, doors, and roof for any signs of damage or deterioration.
-
Standard Accessibility Inspection Report: This inspection report will help identify possible accessibility deficiencies in existing facilities for people with disabilities.

Green Features Report: This report will identify features that increase efficiency in a building’s water usage, help protect the health of its occupants, and reduce the commercial property’s impact on the environment.
Please note that the inspection scope and specific items covered may vary based on the type of building, local codes, and the inspector’s discretion.
