How commercial differs
Bigger building, different questions.
A commercial inspection asks what a residential one does not: how much service life is left in the roof membrane, whether the electrical service has capacity for the intended use, what condition the parking and site drainage are in, and whether the building has been altered without permits.
Because scope varies so much between a two-unit retail block and a twenty-unit apartment building, we agree what is included before we quote. Tell the office the building type, square footage and what you intend to do with it.
What you get
Three things this buys you.
Two to three hours on site for a typical property, and the report within 48 hours. If the utilities are off we bring propane and a generator and power the building up rather than reporting it as unverified.
Quoted, not listed
Commercial scope is agreed up front so the fee and the deliverable match the building.
Written for a decision
The report is ordered by what will cost money soonest, which is what a buyer or a lender actually needs.
One point of contact
The Bessemer office coordinates scheduling and any specialist testing the building needs.
Where we draw the line
We inspect. We do not repair.
Our code of ethics forbids our inspectors from performing repairs, or from estimating repair costs, on a property they have inspected. An inspector who can profit from the problems he finds has a reason to find them.
You get a plain account of what is wrong and how serious it is. A licensed contractor prices and fixes it, and we will come back and re-inspect the work at a minimal fee.
