What Our Commercial Building Inspections Cover

Our commercial inspections are systematic, detailed, and aligned with recognized industry practices. Each inspection is tailored to the property type and intended use, but commonly includes evaluation of:

Structural components such as foundations, framing, floors, walls, and roof systems; building envelope elements including roofing, exterior walls, windows, doors, and drainage; major mechanical systems including HVAC equipment and distribution; electrical systems, panels, and visible wiring; plumbing systems and visible supply, waste, and vent components; fire and life safety features where present; and site-related elements such as parking areas, walkways, grading, and drainage.

We focus on condition, performance, and observable deficiencies, providing clients with practical insight into current issues, deferred maintenance, and areas that may require further evaluation.

Property Condition Assessments (PCAs)

For buyers, lenders, and investors, we offer Property Condition Assessments that provide a comprehensive overview of a building’s current condition. These assessments are commonly used during due diligence and financing and are structured to help stakeholders understand short-term repairs, long-term capital planning considerations, and overall asset condition.

Additional Commercial Inspection Services

In addition to full commercial building inspections, we offer related services commonly requested for McHenry County properties, including fire and life safety observations, sewer scope inspections, maintenance inspections, move-in and move-out inspections, and site and grounds evaluations covering parking lots, drainage, and exterior conditions.

Clear Reporting. Practical Findings.

Our inspection reports are clear, well-organized, and written for a commercial audience. We prioritize accuracy, consistency, and usability, avoiding unnecessary alarm while clearly identifying material issues that matter to decision-makers. Photos and narrative explanations are included to support findings and improve clarity for all stakeholders involved in the transaction or asset management process.
