Protect Your Investment

Investing in commercial real estate is a significant decision that requires careful consideration and thorough due diligence. A pre-purchase commercial building inspection is a crucial step in this process, helping you identify potential issues before making a commitment. At Total Inspection, we specialize in comprehensive pre-purchase commercial building inspections, ensuring you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your investment.

Why Pre-Purchase Inspections Are Essential

A pre-purchase inspection serves as your safety net, helping you uncover hidden defects and issues that could impact your investment. Here are several reasons why these inspections are essential:

Identify Structural Problems

A thorough inspection can reveal structural issues that may not be visible during a casual walkthrough.
Assess Safety Hazards

Ensuring the safety of your investment is paramount. Inspections help identify safety risks that could pose liabilities.
Cost Management

Discovering issues early allows you to factor potential repair costs into your budget, preventing unexpected financial burdens after the purchase.
Negotiation Leverage

Armed with inspection findings, you can negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller, ensuring you get a fair deal.
Long-Term Investment Protection

Understanding the condition of the property helps you plan for future maintenance and improvements, safeguarding your investment for the long term.

Our Comprehensive Inspection Process

At Total Inspection, we conduct pre-purchase commercial building inspections that comply with Australian Standards. Our inspection process includes a thorough assessment of various aspects of the property, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.

Structural Inspection

We assess the structural integrity of the building, focusing on:

Foundation and Footings

Our inspectors examine the foundation for signs of settling, cracking, or other issues that could compromise stability.
Walls and Framing

We check the condition of the walls and framing to identify any structural defects or signs of water damage.
Roof Condition

The roof is a critical component of any commercial building. We inspect for missing tiles, leaks, and proper drainage systems.

Building Systems Evaluation

We evaluate essential building systems to ensure they are functioning correctly and comply with safety standards:

Plumbing Systems

We check for leaks and the overall condition of the plumbing infrastructure.
HVAC Systems

The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are crucial for comfort and efficiency. We evaluate their condition and functionality.

Safety and Compliance Check

Safety is a top priority in commercial buildings. Our inspection includes:

Fire Safety Measures

We assess passive fire items, extinguishers, and emergency exits to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
Accessibility Compliance

We check that the building meets accessibility standards, ensuring it is usable for all individuals, including those with disabilities.

Pest Inspection

Pest infestations can lead to significant damage and costly repairs. Our pest inspection focuses on:

Termite Detection

We look for signs of termite activity that could compromise the building’s structure.
Rodent and Insect Activity

Our inspectors identify signs of rodent infestations and other pests that may pose health risks or cause damage.

Detailed Reporting

After the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing our findings. This report includes:

Photographic Evidence

Images of any issues found during the inspection, along with detailed descriptions.
Recommendations

Our inspectors provide actionable recommendations for repairs and maintenance, helping you prioritize actions based on urgency and importance.
