When purchasing a home or commercial property, an of the crucial steps in the process is obtaining a Commercial Building Inspection. It doesn't matter if it's your first home or an investment opportunity or commercial property knowing the actual condition of the structure gives buyers the confidence needed to take the proper steps.

Why Building Inspections Matter
Inspections of buildings prior to purchase serve as an assurance against unanticipated cost or structural issues. An inspection that is well-designed can reveal warning signs early, such as leaks or workmanship issues, foundation issues, or poor drainage that would otherwise be overlooked during a routine viewing.
After our comprehensive site visit, clients receive a builders report that acts as a manual for their property. The reports are designed to be clear, and use a traffic light system to identify high, medium or low issues and are further supplemented by photos to highlight the most important results.
