Commercial Inspections
Property condition assessments for retail, office, multi-family and mixed-use buildings across Northern Michigan.
Condition assessments for retail, office, multi-family and mixed-use buildings.
What we Inspect
Scope is set by the asset and the transaction, not by a residential checklist applied to a bigger building.
Roof + envelope
Roof covering, flashing, drainage, cladding, glazing and the visible envelope conditions that drive the largest capital items.
Mechanical, electrical, plumbing
All major systems, operation under load where accessible, and any visible deficiencies.
Site + access
Paving, grading, drainage, exterior access and accessibility observations across the parcel.
Choose the Scope
Every inspection is quoted by scope. Send the property details and we confirm which level the transaction actually calls for.

Commercial scope depends on the asset, the access constraints and the deadline you are working against. A quick exchange up front produces an accurate proposal, rather than a number that changes once we see the building.

Frequently asked questions.
How is a commercial inspection different from a residential one?
A commercial property condition assessment is scoped differently, reported differently, and priced by square footage rather than a flat fee.
Will my lender accept the report?
Our reports are written in property condition assessment format, which is what commercial lenders typically ask for. Tell us who the lender is and any specific format they require and we will confirm before we start.
What building types do you inspect?
Retail, office, multi-family, mixed-use and light industrial across Northern Michigan. If you are not sure your asset fits, send the details and we will tell you honestly.
Do you inspect multi-family and mixed-use properties?
Yes. Duplexes through small apartment buildings, plus mixed-use. Pricing depends on unit count and how many units we can access.

Which buildings do you inspect?
Retail, office, multi-family, mixed-use and light industrial across Northern Michigan. If you are not sure your asset fits, send the details and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do multi-family?
Yes. Duplexes through small apartment buildings, plus mixed-use. Pricing depends on unit count and how many units we can access.
How do you price commercial inspections?
By scope. Square footage, building type, unit count, systems complexity, access constraints and reporting requirements all move the number, so we quote from the actual property rather than publishing a rate that would be wrong more often than right.
Can you work around tenants and business hours?
Yes, and we plan for it. Occupied buildings need coordination with managers and tenants, and that gets built into the schedule during scoping rather than improvised on the day.
Can you add sewer, radon or mold testing to the scope?
Yes. Specialty services fold into the proposal where the asset warrants them. We recommend them based on the building, not by default.
How quickly can you turn around a proposal?
Same business day, once we have the property details and your deadline.
