What is a Commercial Inspection?

At Legacy Commercial Inspections, we understand that investing in commercial real estate is a significant decision that involves various risks. One of the best ways to mitigate these risks is through a comprehensive commercial inspection. But what exactly is a commercial inspection, and why is it essential for property owners and investors?

Understanding Commercial Inspections

A commercial inspection is a thorough evaluation of a commercial property to assess its condition and identify any potential issues. This process typically involves a detailed examination of various components of the property, including the structure, systems, and amenities. The primary goal of a commercial inspection is to provide property owners and potential buyers with an unbiased assessment of the property's overall condition.

Types of Commercial Inspections

Commercial inspections can vary depending on the type and use of the property. Common types of commercial inspections performed by our team at Legacy Commercial Inspections include:

1. General Property Inspections: These inspections evaluate the overall condition of the building’s structure, including roofs, walls, and foundations.

2. System Inspections: This includes assessing crucial systems such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire safety to ensure they are functioning efficiently and safely.

3. Environmental Assessments: Although we do not conduct environmental work, it’s noteworthy that some inspections may address potential environmental hazards like mold or asbestos, which can be critical for certain properties.

4. Specialized Inspections: Depending on the property type, specialized inspections (like roof inspections or energy audits) may be necessary to address specific concerns.
