Property Condition Assessment Inspections generally exceed ASTM E-2018 Standards and InterNACHI International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties.

Commercial Property Condition Assessment Inspections

All of our property condition inspections use the baseline property condition assessment process as outlined in the ASTM E-2018 Standards and InterNACHI International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties. You can specify deviations to meet your  specific needs and building type. These deviations would be mutually agreed upon and clearly stated in the inspection agreement and final report.

Inspections are generally more invasive than the PCA Property Condition Assessment Inspection outlined in the ASTM E-2018 Standards and InterNACHI International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties and include dismantling and operation of key systems, maintenance suggestions, long term replacement schedules and cost to remedy defects with no minimum cost threshold. This usually eliminates the need for obtaining service documents and interviewing called for in the standards.

If your short term budget does not allow for any surprises during first year or two of ownership, you might want to consider an inspection which is more invasive and inclusive than an assessment. You might also find the seller agreeable to adjusting the selling price to offset part of the cost to remedy conditions discovered during the inspection or the seller may want to remedy the situation themselves prior to closing.

The end result provides you with detailed picture of the age and condition of the major building components and how maintenance (good or bad) has effected its life span.

The final report will list deficiencies, budget figures to remedy them and a detailed report with representative photos if appropriate. Reports are computer generated and generally available 1-3 days after the inspection.




Standard Accessibility Inspection for Existing Commercial Buildings

ADA Accessibility Inspection

Various laws around the world require public accommodations to provide goods and services to people with disabilities on an equal basis with the rest of the general public. Businesses benefit from the patronage of all people. Those who own, lease, lease out, or operate places of public accommodation should have as a goal the identification and reduction of physical barriers to this patronage. This inspection will help identify possible accessibility deficiencies in existing facilities.

Most laws regarding accessibility only regulate new construction and remodeling and do not oblige existing building owners to reduce barriers if such reduction is not readily achievable. This inspection does not cover all of the possible local, state, provincial and federal requirements regarding accessibility or barrier reduction. The information presented within this report was derived from a visual-only inspection of the property and is intended solely as informal guidance, and is not a determination of legal rights or responsibilities. 

This report may be offered in conjunction with a complete commercial building inspection or offered as a separate, stand-alone inspection service.
