The Commercial Inspection Report outlines existing deficiencies and identifies potential problems. The report includes a visual evaluation of the condition of the property and building. The report is provided to the client a few days after the inspection has been conducted.
A Commercial Building Inspection will provide you with a report that outlines a prioritized list of minor repairs, major repairs, and maintenance items. This list will help to give you an overview of the investment you are about to make.
