Commercial Property Inspections
Buying or evaluating a commercial property is a significant investment.
4 Winds Home Inspections provides commercial property inspection services throughout Vancouver Island, helping clients better understand the visible condition of the building and its major accessible systems.
Areas of Review
What I work through on a commercial inspection. Scope is agreed before the visit and depends on the building.
Building Structure
Visible structural components, framing, columns and bearing elements where accessible.
Roofing
Roof coverings, visible flashing, drainage and roof-mounted equipment where safely accessible.
Exterior & Building Envelope
Cladding, glazing, seals, entry points and how the building sheds water.
Electrical Systems
Visible service equipment, distribution panels and accessible devices within scope.
Mechanical Systems
Heating, cooling and ventilation equipment, and visible distribution.
Plumbing
Visible supply and drainage piping, fixtures and water heating equipment.
Interior Areas
Walls, ceilings, floors, stairs and accessible interior spaces throughout the building.
General Building Condition
Overall condition, maintenance evident on site, and anything warranting a specialist.
Every commercial property is different
Before booking, contact Craig to discuss the property, its size, age, intended use and the type of inspection you're looking for.
That short conversation is what sets the scope, so the inspection covers what actually matters for the building in front of us.
Have this ready when you call
