Commercial Property Inspections
A commercial property inspection will provide information on the physical condition of the property as a whole. It will also list an inventory of the building’s major systems and components and an evaluation of their functional and physical condition. These findings will highlight the property’s strengths and potential deficiencies, as well as deferred maintenance issues.
What's Included: heating and ventilation systems, cooling systems, plumbing system, mechanical and electrical systems, roof surface, drainage, roof penetrations, exterior elements and fixtures, general topography of the building site, parking areas and sidewalks, barriers to accessibility, wood decks and balconies, basement, foundation, crawlspace, doors, windows and interior, life safety components, kitchen area, storage and other site-specific areas of concern.
The commercial inspector may identify deficiencies related to poor installation and workmanship; inadequate design for the intended use; deferred maintenance; environmental damage or risks; and systems near the end of their useful life.
Annual Building Maintenance Inspections
An annual building maintenance inspection is a comprehensive, visual examination of a commercial property every 12 months. It is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components as delineated in the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (ComSOP) and to monitor the condition of a building over a period of time for purposes of capital management.
Proactive Problem Identification:
Early detection of potential issues, such as structural wear, plumbing leaks, or electrical problems, allows for timely and cost-effective repairs. Identify and address small maintenance issues before they escalate into major, expensive problems, saving clients significant repair costs in the long run.
Code Compliance Assurance:
Ensure that the property complies with current building codes and safety regulations, reducing the risk of legal complications and fines. Keep the property up to date with evolving building standards, providing peace of mind to property owners and stakeholders.
Enhanced Property Value:
Regular maintenance inspections contribute to preserving the property's value over time, making it more attractive to potential buyers or tenants. Highlight the well-maintained status of the property in marketing efforts, positioning it as a reliable and low-risk investment.
Triple-Net Lease Inspections
What is a triple-net lease inspection? A Triple-Net Lease inspection is a periodic inspection that provides tenants with the information they need to make an effective plan and budget for preventative maintenance. It also lets landlords know whether their property is being well-maintained and if there are problems that exist.
The key to minimizing the risks associated with a commercial property under a triple-net lease is to understand and be aware of its condition at all times. Evaluate the condition of the premises and ensure compliance with lease terms, focusing on the structural integrity, systems functionality, and overall maintenance to provide a comprehensive assessment for landlords and tenants participating in a triple net lease.
Can be done pre-lease, mid-lease, or post-lease stage of your commercial real estate contract.
