This type of commercial property inspection, or building inspection, is intended to assist the potential buyer with their Due Diligence process. It includes:

1. Initial Walk-Through Survey – I conduct an initial baseline Walk-Through Survey of the Property, including the developed and improved grounds, building(s) exterior, and building(s) interior. The goal of the Walk-Through Survey is to identify and communicate Physical Deficiencies.
2. Property Condition Report – I prepare a complete. Easy-to-understand, written Property Condition Report (PCR) that conveys and documents my observations made during the Walk-Through Survey. The PCR typically includes the following sections:

1. Executive Summary
2. Property-Specific & Client Information
3. Disclaimer, Use & Purpose of Report
4. Grounds & Exterior
5. Building Envelope
6. Foundation
7. Roof
8. Plumbing
9. HVAC
10. Electrical
11. Fire Suppression Equipment
12. Interior Areas
13. Special Improvements (if any)
14. Special or Custom Report Sections (if any)
15. Summary of Observations

Commercial lending underwriting requirements often mandate certain property inspections, building inspections,  and subsequent re-inspections. GSD Property Inspections provides timely, commercial property inspections to lenders that are custom-tailored to meet the lender’s specific inspection requirements.

Lessor commercial property inspections are performed for commercial and multifamily owners and landlords to document the pre-move-in condition of the premises, during occupancy, or move-out condition. This type of inspection is intended to help protect the Lessor’s interest.

Lessee commercial property inspections are performed for the commercial lessee to document the pre-move-in condition of the premises or move-out condition. This type of inspection is intended to help protect the Lessee’s interest.

GSD Property Inspections provides construction draw inspection services to privately funded project owners, banks, and other financial institutions. On-site inspections are conducted monthly or as each draw request is presented. Each submission will include an on-site inspection walk with the project superintendent to verify the appropriate release of construction funds to the private investor or lending institution.

Construction Draw Payment Inspection Reports include the following information based on each visit to the construction site:

• General description of the project
• Current status of the construction process
• Updates on completion schedule/timeline
• Quality of work/site conditions/concerns
• Change orders
• Stored material
• Verification of permits, licenses, and insurance or bonding for the project and contractor
• Payment recommendations based on the contractor’s draw request reconciled with actual work performed and completed to date
• Job site pictures with descriptive comments

• Commercial Restaurant Equipment

An Annual Building Maintenance Inspection is a comprehensive, visual examination of commercial property within 12 months. It is designed to identify defects within specific systems and components as delineated in the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (ComSOP) and monitor the condition of a building over a period of time for capital management purposes.

An Annual Building Maintenance Inspection helps property owners, managers, and homeowners associations understand the condition of a building to make cost-effective decisions for its maintenance and prevent the necessity of emergency repairs. As part of the service, I will provide a report that summarizes my findings and any recommendations. An inspection report provides an accurate record or inventory of the building’s problems to facilitate systematic repair and maintenance.
