Buildings We Inspect

We inspect many types of commercial buildings across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa.

Scope of Commercial Properties We Inspect

We inspect a wide range of commercial properties, from small owner-occupied buildings to large, complex facilities. Our inspections are tailored to the building’s use, construction type, and risk profile, with a focus on condition, safety, and long-term performance.

Church/Religious Buildings and Campuses

Assembly-use buildings with high occupant loads and varied construction eras. Inspections focus on structural systems, roof assemblies, drainage, exterior envelope, electrical and mechanical systems, and visible life-safety components. We pay close attention to large open sanctuaries, aging materials, accessibility considerations, and deferred maintenance that can affect safety, usability, and long-term stewardship of the property.

Manufacturing and heavy-use facilities where system capacity and durability matter. Inspections focus on structural framing, roof assemblies, electrical service size and distribution, ventilation and make-up air, fire separation, and visible life-safety components. We also evaluate loading areas, equipment clearances, and signs of deferred maintenance that can impact operations or future expansion.

Educational facilities with high daily occupancy and heavy system use. Inspections focus on roofs, building envelope, structural systems, HVAC performance, electrical distribution, plumbing, and visible life-safety components. We evaluate classrooms, common areas, gyms, cafeterias, and mechanical spaces, with attention to durability, accessibility considerations, and deferred maintenance that can impact safety, operations, and long-term capital planning.

We inspect apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, and other multi-unit or short-term lodging facilities. Our inspections cover roofing, building envelope, structural systems, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and life-safety systems. We evaluate common areas, stairwells, elevators, guest rooms, and representative units, paying close attention to deferred maintenance, safety hazards, and system performance that can impact habitability, operations, and long-term property value.

We inspect retail properties, including strip malls, standalone stores, restaurants, and mixed-use spaces, as well as parks and recreational facilities. Our inspections cover building envelope, roofing, structural systems, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, site drainage, parking areas, and accessibility. We evaluate tenant build-outs, common areas, playgrounds, and other site features, focusing on safety, deferred maintenance, and conditions that could impact operations, public use, or long-term property value.

We inspect office buildings, government facilities, and administrative properties. Our inspections cover roofing, building envelope, structural systems, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and life-safety components. We evaluate workspaces, meeting areas, common areas, and critical systems, with attention to deferred maintenance, code compliance, accessibility, and long-term functionality and safety.

Properties that combine residential, commercial, or office spaces within a single structure. Inspections focus on roofing, structural systems, building envelope, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and life-safety systems. We evaluate each component—residential units, commercial spaces, common areas, and shared systems—paying close attention to deferred maintenance, safety hazards, and system performance that can affect operations, habitability, and long-term value.
