When is a Commercial Property Inspection Needed?
Buying any new property is a big investment. However, buying a commercial building is an especially large investment. You want to know everything you can possibly know about the property, including its advantages and disadvantages.
A commercial inspection evaluates the condition of a property. This provides very useful information about the property for the buyer, along with supporting documentation to use during the real estate transaction. The in-depth inspection report you receive aids in negotiations and decision-making.
Before buying a commercial property, you need to understand the total cost, including potential repairs. A commercial property inspector assesses the property for needed repairs and much more.
The inspection is a crucial part in the research and consideration process that needs to happen before buying a commercial building. It is a step that should never be skipped. The cost is negligible, especially considering how much you could save on needed repairs that might otherwise go unnoticed.

What is the Scope of a Commercial Inspection?
A commercial building inspection is a comprehensive visual inspection of a building’s construction and condition. The inspection is very thorough and covers all major elements. Kenco commercial inspections include the following features:
Building structure and foundation
Roof condition and remaining useful life
Building envelope
ADA accessibility
Electrical panels and wiring
Tenant improvements
Pavement systems
Plumbing fixtures and piping
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
Elevators and conveyance systems
Landscape, irrigation, site grading & drainage
Sometimes the scope is too big for just one inspector. In that case, a team of three to six inspectors might work on the inspection together. That way, they can cover everything and offer the highest standards of service.
After the inspection, we present the client with the Property Condition Report, which is a report with our findings. These findings could include inadequate design, improper maintenance or worn systems, equipment nearing the end of its useful life, building code violations and poor workmanship.
The report also points out repairs that are immediately necessary and replacement reserves. Based on the findings, you will be able to make an informed decision whether or not this particular property is a worthwhile investment.
