Inspection scope
A commercial inspection built around the property
Commercial buildings vary widely. We review the building and your priorities before quoting so the inspection plan fits the property and the decision you are making.
The proposal identifies the areas and systems to be observed, representative sampling, access needs, reporting expectations, and exclusions. Depending on the assignment, the inspection may include visible and accessible portions of:
Site conditions, drainage, parking areas, walkways, and exterior improvements
Roofing, roof drainage, and accessible roof areas
Exterior walls, windows, doors, and building-envelope components
Structural components and visible signs of movement or deterioration
Electrical service, panels, distribution, fixtures, and representative devices
Plumbing supply, drainage, fixtures, and water-heating equipment
Heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment
Interior finishes, common areas, and representative tenant suites or dwelling units when applicable
Other installed systems or client priorities identified for the assignment

The deliverable
Clear findings you can use
You receive a photo-rich report documenting the visible conditions covered by the agreed inspection.
Find the location
Organized observations show where each documented condition was observed.
Understand the concern
Photos and written context explain material concerns and visible deferred maintenance.
Determine the next step
The findings can help guide repair planning, budgeting, negotiation, or additional evaluation by the appropriate specialist.
The report can recommend further evaluation when a condition falls outside a visual inspection. It does not replace engineering, environmental, code, accessibility, or specialized-system evaluations unless expressly included.
Commercial experience
Commercial inspections require more than residential assumptions.
Commercial properties can involve larger systems, varied occupancies, representative sampling, specialized equipment, and different reporting expectations. Upspect reviews each assignment so the team, access plan, and deliverable fit the building and the client's objectives.
Commercial inspection leadership
Upspect lead inspector Garette Langmead received commercial-inspection training based on ASTM E2018-15. Each assignment is reviewed individually before acceptance.
A report for commercial decisions
Photographs, system observations, material concerns, limitations, and recommended next steps are organized for practical review.
Property-specific planning
Occupancy, access, repeated spaces, installed systems, and client priorities are considered before the inspection is scheduled.

Custom pricing
What determines the price?
Commercial inspections are custom quoted because buildings and reporting needs vary. The quote form is the fastest way to receive an accurate proposal.

You will receive the proposed scope, availability, expected report date, and price before deciding whether to schedule.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as an ASTM property condition assessment?
Not necessarily. This service is a custom-scoped visual commercial property inspection. ASTM E2018 property condition assessments have separate requirements. If your lender, attorney, or investment criteria require ASTM E2018, tell us when requesting the quote so we can confirm whether Upspect can provide the required scope or help identify the appropriate next step.
How long will the inspection take?
The time required depends on the property’s size, complexity, occupancy, access, and agreed scope. Upspect will discuss scheduling expectations while preparing the written scope and quote.
When will I receive the report?
The report delivery date is confirmed in writing with the quote. Timing depends on the property's size, complexity, number of buildings, reporting requirements, and whether additional research is included. You will know the expected delivery date before approving the inspection.
Can I book a commercial inspection online?
Commercial inspections begin with the quote form, a call, or a text. Upspect reviews the assignment before confirming availability and providing a proposal.
Should I attend the commercial property inspection?
Attendance expectations depend on the property, occupancy, access requirements, and agreed scope. When appropriate, Upspect can discuss the most useful time for the client or representative to be present, including whether an end-of-inspection walkthrough is available.
What is not included?
A standard commercial property inspection is visual and non-invasive. Engineering, destructive testing, environmental assessment, code-compliance certification, accessibility compliance, fire-system certification, and specialized equipment analysis are not included unless expressly identified in the written scope.
