A commercial inspection can save your business thousands of dollars by uncovering structural, mechanical, or system deficiencies before you sign a lease or close on a purchase. ASIST inspects office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and mixed-use properties, giving buyers, tenants, and property owners a clear, documented picture of a building’s condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who typically orders a commercial inspection?
Buyers and tenants use commercial inspections during due diligence, while property owners often order them before listing or leasing a building to identify issues in advance.
How long does a commercial inspection take?
Timing varies significantly based on the size and complexity of the property — smaller retail or office spaces may take a few hours, while larger buildings require more time.
What's the difference between a commercial and residential inspection?
Commercial inspections often cover additional systems (like commercial HVAC, fire suppression, and larger-scale electrical/plumbing) and are scoped to the specific property type and use.
Can specialty testing be added to a commercial inspection?
Yes — mold, radon, and water testing can all be added depending on the property’s age, use, and any specific concerns.
