Understanding the Houston commercial property inspection process can help your business make the right investments in the real estate marketplace. Here are some of the most important elements of commercial property inspections in our area.
Structural Integrity
During your Houston real estate inspection, close attention will be paid to the condition of the foundation and the structural elements of the building. Load-bearing components will be examined for structural stresses and to ensure that the building is safe for use by your company and your employees.
Roofing Issues
Your inspector will also take a look at the roof to determine its condition and to provide you with an estimate of the number of years remaining before a replacement or extensive repairs are required.
Plumbing
Pipes, fixtures and other elements of the plumbing in your commercial building can be a source of expensive repairs and headaches after the purchase. Your Houston commercial property inspector will examine these systems as thoroughly as possible given the location of the pipes. This can help you avoid unpleasant surprises after your acquisition of the property.
HVAC Systems
Replacing a commercial HVAC system can be a costly undertaking. Your Houston commercial property inspection team can provide you with advance warning about the condition of the building’s HVAC system and any obvious repairs or upgrades that may be required for its safe operation. This can help you make the most practical decision for your company’s real estate investments.
Electrical Systems
Making sure the wiring and electrical panels are in good repair can prevent accidents and allow you to use your commercial property in the most effective way. Your inspection should include a thorough inspection of all electrical wiring and components to make sure they are in proper working order and ready for use by your business.
Compliance with Codes
Your property inspector will also check the building or facility for compliance with local and federal codes and regulations. This can help you stay on the right side of the legal requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, fire safety codes and other relevant regulations for your commercial building.
