Why do I need Commercial Inspection Services?

Most inspection services in Florida do not offer commercial inspections because it’s not a straightforward task. Commercial inspection services differ extensively from the much more common home inspection. 

Unfortunately, even inspection services that perform commercial inspection services approach them like a more complicated residential inspection. Even though commercial inspections may hold some similarities to a home inspection, the purpose is financial profitability.

The Investigative Process of a Commercial Inspection 

To confirm the condition of the property in question, inspectors evaluate the components of the interior and exterior, including the:

• Parking lot
• Landscaping
• Structure
• Foundation
• Walls
• Roof
• Doors & Windows
• HVAC
• Plumbing
• Electric

Some commercial inspection services rely on contractors specialized in roofing, construction, or building codes to guide them, but at Divinity Inspection Service, our inspectors are also construction contractors who have a thorough education in these fields. 

However, there is so much more to what a commercial inspector does for their client. The entire history of the building needs to be investigated as well. The inspector must carefully read through many documents such as:

• Building plans
• Floor plans
• Permits
• Citations
• Records
• Studies
• Surveys
• Appraisals

Once we sort through all the evidence and data, we use the information to assess the building’s current state. For instance, if there are construction aspects that were not completed with a permit, the inspector will notify you.

Like a detective, the inspector deduces if the property matches the documents provided. Once we confirm this, the inspector moves from the physical aspect of the inspection to a business perspective. 

This part of the commercial inspection process is known as “due diligence,” and it is what starkly separates residential inspectors from those who specialize in commercial properties .

Due diligence requires a high level of expertise provided by the inspector. How much due diligence can be asserted will depend on the age, location, and condition of the property.

What Does a Commercial Inspection Service Do For You?

As commercial inspectors, we help investors to gain authority at the negotiation table with the power of knowledge and documentation. In order to do that, a commercial inspector needs to understand how to convey this information in their final property condition report (PCR) for their client. 

The team at Divinity Inspection Service considers your needs as a commercial property owner and recognizes that it is both a company’s expense and asset that generates income. Having a firm grasp on exactly how much money the property will cost you will help you determine how much money you will make from it.

The report you receive from us will include a meticulous document that outlines the entire property and all of its components, from the roof to the foundation. It will also explain important facts like necessary repairs, construction mistakes, and projects completed without a permit. 

This information is crucial for investors to make profitable decisions and get the most out of them. Without a property condition report, an investor has no foresight or negotiating power.
