A commercial building inspection will give you a better idea about the condition of a property. Knowing the condition of a building will allow you to budget more accurately and provide for expenditures down the road -- whether it's a new roof, HVAC or simply maintenance items. Not knowing this information, or worse yet guessing, can have serious consequences.

Buying a building and property is a very anxious time what with doubts, deadlines and so on. Reducing or removing uncertainties can make your real estate transaction go smoother. The same holds true when you lease too by knowing the condition of the building and property from the outset. When constructing a new building it's a good idea to have progress inspections carried out on it. These are tailored to meet your needs and often involve looking at blueprints and specifications for the building to ensure it is being built as intended. It's not uncommon to uncover variances during this process, which can often be remedied in less time and at less expense if detected early enough versus waiting until the building is constructed.

Single or multi-purpose inspections are another cost effective way to address items concerning you in a building as well. Whether it's the electrical system, roof or foundation Richardson Building Diagnostics can visit the property to specifically inspect those areas that need to be looked at. It doesn't matter if you're buying or looking at making repairs or improvements.

If you're considering adding-on to an existing building or making enhancements to it, its best that you consider having it inspected before, during and after its completion. This will assist you in the design & planning stages as well as determining whether the contemplated work is feasible and can be done in a practical manner thereby reducing your risk of time delays, costly overruns, and, having construction carried out that doesn't meet with your approval.

Richardson Building Diagnostics inspection reports include detailed descriptions of the existing physical components, observed current conditions in need of repair, immediate repair or replacement cost projections, and five-year projection of anticipated major capital costs.

With the investment in commercial properties so significant, it's no wonder why so many purchasers, owners, and, lessees consider a building inspection mandatory!
 
 
INDUSTRY STANDARDS

Richardson Building Diagnostics commercial inspections are designed to be in general accordance with ASTM E 2018 professional standards and the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (InterNACHIComSop). Commercial building inspections are a visual and non-destructive assessment of the site and grounds, structural systems, the exterior envelope, including doors, windows and signage, roofing systems, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and interior components (concentrating on non-cosmetic considerations).

Depending upon the size and complexity of the property, Richardson Building Diagnostics will assemble a team of experts to accurately assess the condition of the property and components. The purpose of a visual inspection is to evaluate the performance of the principle building systems. The inspection is also designed to give preliminary capital expense budget line items for observed currently deficient conditions and projected budget line items for elements of the facility which are expected to exceed their estimated useful lives within a five-year projection.
