NCW Home and Property Inspections can assist you in gathering pertinent information about a property and investment you are making.

There are many types of commercial properties, such as warehouses, office buildings, restaurants, churches,  hotels, apartment buildings, mixed use etc.

Since there is such a variety, sometimes inspections are guided by the building’s age and intended use. I work with my client to assess the level of inspection needed based on the client’s use and needs.

In general a  commercial building inspection includes the major systems and components associated with building, including:

• heating and ventilation systems;
• air-conditioning system;
• plumbing system;
• mechanical and electrical systems;
• roof surface, drainage, and penetrations;
• exterior elements and fixtures;
• general topography of the building site;
• parking areas and sidewalks;
• wood decks and balconies;
• basement, foundation, and crawlspace;
• doors, windows, and interior;
• life-safety components;
• kitchen (including storage);
• Pest and structural pest
• and other areas that are specific to the subject property.
  
  

Commercial building owners need to plan for the most costly maintenance and repair items and components. This can greatly affect a building’s initial financial analysis.
