What Do Our Inspectors Check

Our inspectors will evaluate all system components of the building or unit. Our inspectors accurately identify all potential issues and pinpoint which ones require immediate action. The inspectors findings are conveyed within a report that is written for easy understanding by the client. Commercial building inspections can be a very important part of your business. By hiring a professional like NextDay Inspect, you can ensure that your building is in the best possible condition and that any potential repairs are able to be taken care of as soon as possible.

Please note that a commercial inspection is not a permit or license requirement, but it can provide you with valuable information about the property being inspected. A completed inspection report will include an evaluation of the condition of the property, a description of any deficiencies and recommendations for remediation. Commercial inspections are not intended to be used as the only source of information about a property – other sources such as sales records, zoning regulations, and economic trends can also be helpful in making an informed decision.

If you have any questions about the inspection process or the findings, don’t hesitate to ask your inspector. They are there to help you understand what was found on the property and how it can be improved. Keep a copy of your inspection report for future reference. This document will be your primary source of information about the condition of the property and any repairs or updates that may need to be made.
