I offer commercial property inspections in Wisconsin. As you can imagine commercial properties come in many forms. I often perform inspections on small business properties similar to a home inspection. Commercial inspections do not have to follow the same standards as residential inspections so the inspection can be performed in any manor desired. Most clients opt for a full inspection but some desire only major systems inspections. Apartment buildings, restaurant, store front, small manufacturing facilities can be quoted using the standard form. Typically they are considered residential up to 4 units. $300 minimum charge for inspection. Multi-family (4 or more units) usually starts at $500 per building and the reports are detailed like a typical home inspection for each unit and the building as a whole. These can be inspected as commercial or a full residential type inspection. Additional units within the same complex can be discounted at a volume rate. Larger commercial facilities will be quoted in consideration of many factors including square footage, construction type, and specialized equipment like rooftop HVAC, similar items require specialized inspections. I will bring in a team of master trades people to inspect and test these areas. I coordinate this service and perform the general inspection plus consolidate the reports into one easy to read format. Investor (major defects only) reports are also available for multi family and commercial properties. These inspections and reports have far less detail and are geared towards seasoned investors. I cover the major systems and report on defects only. I typically quote these inspections giving a minimum charge of $300 which includes 3 hours of onsite inspection and reporting. No report consultations These are not considered inspections. I occasionally assist clients while they are shopping for a property to purchase. I will accompany the client during a typical viewing prior to writing an offer to purchase. We can verbally discuss the property condition in a limited manor. This often reveals initial concerns that may help the buyer avoid wasting precious time and money on writing an offer, appraisals, and inspection. If the buyer decides to make an offer, a full inspection is still needed as a walk thorough, “hands in pockets”, evaluation does not allow access to the roof, electrical system, or many other major systems that most often reveal additional concerns. Minimum trip charges are determined by location. Hourly rate applies there after. If time permits multiple properties can be evaluated within a few hours. This is not intended to replace a full inspection. Discounts can be given when combined with a full inspection. |
