- Test HVAC, boilers, air handlers, and mechanical distribution equipment.
- Inspect electrical panels, wiring, lighting, and emergency power backups.
Optimal Times For Commercial Assessments
Strategic scheduling of commercial property inspections maximizes value and minimizes transaction risks during various business scenarios.

Lease Renewal Negotiations: Document current property conditions to clarify maintenance responsibilities and avoid end-of-lease disputes.
Portfolio Review: Assess multiple properties to prioritize capital allocation and identify underperforming assets requiring intervention.
Pre-Construction Surveys: Document existing conditions before tenant improvements or renovations to avoid liability for pre-existing damage.
Insurance Underwriting: Provide current property condition data to support coverage determinations and premium calculations.
