Commercial Building Inspector
Utah's Best Commercial Building Inspector
Don’t be in the dark about the condition of the property you’re considering for your business. Schedule an inspection with our commercial building inspector to avoid making a bad investment. Our thorough inspection will give you the confidence you need to rest assured that your business will have a safe, quality property.
While the property may look great to the untrained eye, there could be all sorts of problems behind the walls that you’d only learn about after moving your business in. What if the plumbing constantly clogs? What if the HVAC system is in dire need of repair? What if there are code violations putting your employees’ safety at risk?
Avoid the nightmares and headaches with the peace of mind from a professional inspection from our commercial building inspector. The Nook-N-Kranny Commercial Building Inspection is an unbiased, comprehensive, and full-service option for prospective property owners in Utah and Southern Idaho.
What’s Hidden Behind The Walls?
A property may seem perfectly fine to the naked eye, but an experienced commercial building inspector can identify the true condition of the building and all of its major components and systems. They uncover any hidden problems with the property or problems that may not be immediately apparent. Commercial building inspections report on the current and potential future condition of the building, such as if certain systems will need to be repaired or replaced soon.
If issues go unidentified, this could interfere with your business operations later on, especially if the issue is severe. Commercial building inspections help you avoid such a waste of time and money. They also estimate repair costs. They can be used to either negotiate a lower price or to have the seller make all the necessary repairs prior to closing on the property.
Commercial inspections are not just for new construction buildings or when buying a property, but are also good to do throughout having property. This is because they help you keep your property up-to-code and ensure that any problems are caught before they get the chance to become serious.
Commercial building inspections ensure the building is in acceptable condition with no code violations, safety risks, or major systems in need of repair or replacement.
Comprehensive Commercial Building Inspections
Buying or leasing a commercial property is a huge investment. Commercial building inspections give you peace of mind that your investment is secure and suitable to your needs. Inspections help people know if property is worth the money. You don’t want to spend the money on repairs and replacements that the previous owner should have taken care of.
We here at Nook-N-Kranny Home Services ensure our commercial building inspector provides a thorough inspection so that current and potential issues are identified. We know how not identifying issues can result in extensive damage and expensive repairs down the line.
What We Inspect
The time it takes for commercial building inspections to complete varies depending on the size of the property and the issues encountered. Our inspections are comprehensive. We look at everything from building documents to interior and exterior systems.
Some of the areas commercial building inspections cover include:
- Building documents (such as floor plans, building plans, maintenance records, appraisals, surveys, etc)
- Building structure
- Foundation
- Fire protection
- Roof condition
- ADA accessibility
- Plumbing systems
- Pavement
- Tenant improvements
- HVAC systems
- Elevators/conveyance
- Landscape, grading, drainage
- Electrical systems
- Mechanical systems
- Parking facilities
Our inspections include repair recommendations and cost analysis. Looking at building documents, like floor plans, ensures that the building is priced fairly, as if the floor plan is incorrect, you could be paying more than you should. If there are any structural or system issues, this can also mean the property value is lower than the listing price.
Our commercial building inspector can report on:
- Building code violations (these can change yearly, so it is important to ensure property is up to date. Violations put health and safety at risk)
- Poor workmanship/shoddy design
- Improper maintenance
- Worn systems
- Equipment status
Commercial inspections may require the expertise of a specialized individual to verify issues, such as a structural engineer.
Understanding Your Inspection Report
It’s important to note that there’s no such thing as a perfect inspection. Even new construction commercial buildings have issues. Your inspection report from an experienced commercial building inspector will note the severity of each issue. You’ll want to address major problems, specifically those that are safety concerns, but other issues you may be able to address at a later date, if you choose to address them at all.
When To Get Commercial Building Inspections
A commercial building inspector can evaluate property used for commercial purposes, especially for office buildings, apartment complexes, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, and more. They are not just for when buying or selling a property, or starting or finishing a lease. Inspections help you keep the property in good condition and maintain structural integrity and safety throughout its lifespan.
Apartments, residential units, restaurants, office buildings, retail shops, warehouses, factories, and more all benefit from commercial inspections as recommended. You can also get construction progress inspections, pre-listing inspections, pre-leasing inspections, and post-leasing inspections.
In addition to our standard commercial building inspections, we here at Nook-N-Kranny Home Services offer specialty services, like mold testing, radon testing, and methamphetamine testing. Contact us today to learn more about our inspection services.
