CCPIA-Certified Commercial Property Inspections
Our CCPIA-certified commercial property inspections are designed for investors, lenders, business owners, and other commercial real estate stakeholders who need a thorough understanding of a property’s condition.
The inspection focuses on accessible building systems and components, identifying visible deficiencies, maintenance concerns, and areas that may require further evaluation. The findings can help support purchasing, financing, insurance, maintenance, and investment decisions.
Property Condition Assessment (PCA)
A Property Condition Assessment (PCA) is a formal evaluation of a commercial building’s physical condition. Our assessments follow an ASTM E2018-compliant format and provide a clear overview of the property’s major systems, components, visible deficiencies, and potential repair or maintenance needs.
PCAs are commonly requested by lenders, investors, insurance providers, and business owners before completing a commercial real estate transaction. The assessment helps provide a better understanding of the property’s current condition and supports informed financial and ownership decisions.
What’s Included in a Commercial Inspection / PCA
Our commercial inspections and PCAs evaluate major building systems and components, including the structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, exterior, and site improvements.

Evaluation of exterior walls, doors, windows, drainage, and other accessible building components.
Structural Components
Review of foundations, framing, load-bearing elements, and other accessible structural components.

Optional Sewer Scope Camera Inspection
A sewer scope camera inspection can be added to your commercial property inspection for a more detailed evaluation of the property’s sewer line.
Using a specialized camera, we can inspect accessible portions of the sewer line for visible concerns such as blockages, root intrusion, damaged piping, offsets, or other conditions that may require further evaluation or repair.
