Commercial Inspections
Our commercial inspections evaluate entire business properties following ASTM E2018 standards. We examine foundations, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC, roofs, and structural components. Our Property Condition Reports identify potential issues in office buildings, medical facilities, and multi-family units, helping clients make informed investment decisions through detailed assessments completed within fast turnaround times.
Phase Inspections
Three-stage construction inspections ensure quality at critical building phases. The pre-pour inspection checks foundation preparations, pre-drywall review examines hidden systems, and final inspection tests all mechanical components. This process identifies issues before they become costly repairs, particularly valuable for new construction projects requiring compliance verification throughout different building stages.
Infrared Inspections
Advanced thermal imaging technology detects hidden problems invisible to conventional methods. Our infrared inspections identify moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, electrical hotspots, and plumbing leaks. This non-invasive technique provides valuable insights into building performance issues while documenting energy efficiency concerns and structural vulnerabilities that require targeted remediation efforts.
