When we conduct a commercial structural inspection, we look closely at the structural elements of the building, including the foundation, walls, roof, floors, framing, etc., to ensure that everything was constructed properly and safely. We will also check for any signs of damage or concerns that could lead to safety issues in the future.
Upon finishing our inspection, we will provide you with a detailed report of our findings. This report will include information and pictures of any structural defects or concerns we found during the inspection. It will also include recommendations on how to resolve any issues before purchasing the commercial space.
Here are a few of the next steps you should take following a commercial structural inspection.
- Ask questions: While we ensure that our report from the commercial structural inspection is thorough, there may be parts that include technical jargon. We invite you to ask any questions or voice concerns you may have about the report and our findings, so you can have a complete understanding of the state of the building and any necessary work to ensure its safety and stability.
- Decide the worth of the building: Once you have a clear understanding of the condition of the building, you need to determine the worth of the building. Considering all the repairs or maintenance that may be required to make it safe for your employees and customers, is it worth the asking price of the building, or should you look elsewhere for your new commercial space? You might also use the expected pricing for the repairs and maintenance as negotiating power.
- Plan the necessary repairs and maintenance: Our commercial structural inspection report will include recommendations for necessary repairs and maintenance for the commercial building. You can use these recommendations to plan for and schedule the services needed to improve the structural integrity and safety of the building.
