The goal of a commercial building inspection is to evaluate the property for defects, safety concerns, hazards and potential large capital expenditures such as needing to replace the roof or the roof-top HVAC units. Here at TCHI, we provide the client with the information they need to enter negotiations with as much knowledge and power in their possession as possible. Gathering this info is the process of due diligence.

The due diligence provided by commercial property inspectors will vary, sometimes substantially, with the nature of the transaction. Other variables may include building age, type, use, location and a modified scope of work. Although the client must make the final decision on what services will be supplied, the expertise of the inspector in providing advice and insight will be crucial. Background for providing this advice may require a preliminary inspection by the inspector, any of the inspector’s sub-contractors and sometimes the building’s maintenance personnel.
