Commercial Property
Inspections

A commercial property inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a commercial building including offices, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and warehouses. It evaluates structural integrity, building systems, safety compliance, and identifies defects that could impact your investment or business operations.

Commercial properties represent significant investments. An inspection identifies hidden defects, maintenance issues, compliance problems, and potential costs before you commit. This information is crucial for negotiating purchase price or lease terms and budgeting for repairs.

We inspect all types of commercial properties including office buildings, retail shops and shopping centres, industrial warehouses, factories, hotels and hospitality venues, medical and healthcare facilities, childcare centres, restaurants and cafes, and mixed-use developments.

Our inspections cover structural elements, roofing, building envelope, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC systems, fire safety compliance, accessibility (DDA), asbestos identification, essential safety measures, and overall building condition.

Yes, asbestos identification is a critical part of our commercial inspections. Many Australian commercial buildings constructed before 1990 contain asbestos materials. We identify suspected asbestos-containing materials and recommend appropriate testing and management.

Essential Safety Measures are the fire and life safety systems in a building that must be maintained and certified annually. We assess ESM compliance including fire detection, sprinklers, emergency lighting, exit signs, fire doors, and evacuation systems.

Yes, we assess accessibility features against DDA requirements and Australian Standards for access. This includes ramps, doorways, toilets, parking, and pathways to ensure your premises are accessible to people with disabilities.

Inspection duration depends on the property size and complexity. Small retail premises may take 2-3 hours, while large industrial facilities or multi-storey office buildings may require a full day or multiple visits.

We deliver comprehensive commercial inspection reports within 48-72 hours depending on property size and complexity. Urgent reports can be arranged for time-sensitive transactions.
