COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

ABCHI Commercial Inspections are uniquely designed to support the complex needs of commercial Buyers, Sellers, and their Agent.

Walk-through survey.

A thorough on-site visual examination of the property's physical condition. Depending on scope, the inspector may engage a team of specialty consultants. The assessment is focused on the building's critical systems and components, including the following:

Heating and ventilation systems Cooling 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 (for accessibility) Wood decks and balconies
Basement, foundation, and crawlspace Doors, windows, and interior
Life safety components Kitchen (including storage)
Other areas specific to the property

Document procurement and review

The inspector requests and reviews documents and records about the property (ie. lease agreements, Certificates of Occupancy, repair invoices, maintenance records). The inspector will also interview person(s) with the most knowledge about the condition and of the building.

Inspection report

The report contains concise details from the walk-through survey, documents procured, the results of interviews, and any other third-party reports ordered as part of the inspection. The report will provide an inventory of the building's major systems and components, and an evaluation of their functional and physical condition. This will highlight the property's strengths, potential deficiencies, along with deferred maintenance issues.

The inspection complies with the ASTM Standard E2018 -15 for Property Condition Assessments and the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (ComSOP).
