Commercial versus Home Inspections
The addition of commercial building inspections to your repertoire is an excellent way to expand your business since many home inspectors do not perform them.
There are significant differences between home and commercial building inspections before you get started.An overview of commercial building inspections versus home inspectionsWithin the home inspection industry, commercial building inspections are seen as a specialized area.As such, it is crucial to understand the distinction between home and commercial inspections before incorporating the service into your business.
Compared to home inspections, commercial inspections tend to be more intricate and present greater potential risks for the inspector. While a home inspector adheres to Standards of Practice, a commercial inspector follows the Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline Property Condition Assessment Process established by ASTM. Additionally, fees for commercial building inspections may be higher and require more extensive time commitments.
Building inspections for commercial buildings versus residential buildingsIs it possible for a home inspector to inspect commercial buildings?
Commercial building inspections can be performed by a home inspector, but due to the variation in commercial buildings, additional skills and specialized knowledge are necessary.
Despite the fact that homes can vary widely, commercial buildings differ greatly in their size, shape, features, utility systems, and materials. Depending on what type of business they serve, commercial buildings differ greatly in size, shape, features, and materials.
How do Commercial Building Inspectors inspect buildings?Building inspections for commercial buildings are primarily focused on the structural integrity of the building, but they can also cover many other things. For evidence of moisture (including mold, water stains, improper drainage, standing water, and standing water) as well as damage and pests, a commercial building inspector will inspect the walls, roof, and floor. It is possible for the building inspector or a specialist to assess plumbing and electrical systems.
What is the average cost of a commercial building inspection?
A commercial building inspection typically costs between a few hundred dollars and a few thousand dollars. A commercial inspection will also depend on whether the heating, electrical, and plumbing are included in the scope. It is often based on the building's square footage or may be a flat fee.
In what ways does a commercial roof inspection differ from a residential roof inspection?
In general, commercial roof inspections are part of commercial building inspections, but they can also be done independently.
They include: Checking the roof for signs of damage, leaks, pests, and standing water Checking the ceiling and walls of the building for water stains or mold that might indicate a leak in the roof Ensure flashing, skylights, vents, and HVAC are undamaged and sealed properly Maintaining clean and functional drainage systems and gutters
