Commercial Property Inspection in Orange County & Los Angeles
A commercial property inspection is one of the most important steps before acquiring, leasing, or renewing a commercial real estate investment. Our inspectors bring a construction background and technical depth that standard residential inspectors simply don't have
Our commercial inspections follow the general scope of a Property Condition Assessment (PCA), providing an objective, observation-based evaluation of accessible systems and components. Findings are documented to support due diligence — not as engineering certifications or code compliance determinations.

What's Included in a Commercial Property Inspection
- Structural systems: foundation, framing, roof structure and covering
- Exterior: building envelope, parking areas, site drainage, and observations of accessible features, noting conditions that may warrant ADA accessibility review by a qualified consultant
- Roofing: condition, flashings, drainage, penetrations (drone used where applicable)
- Electrical: main service, panels, branch wiring, lighting, emergency systems
- Plumbing: water supply, drain systems, fixtures, water heaters, specialized systems
- HVAC: rooftop units, split systems, boilers, cooling towers, controls, ductwork
- Life safety: visible condition of fire suppression heads and piping, extinguisher presence, and exit signage, documented as general observations only; formal fire safety and code compliance evaluation requires a licensed fire protection engineer
- Written report with photos delivered within 24–48 hours*
Note: certain systems — including structural engineering assessments, environmental conditions, elevator/conveying systems, and fire suppression design — may fall outside a general commercial inspection scope and are best evaluated by licensed specialty consultants. We'll note where further specialist review is recommended.
