Roof Space

leaks, drainage, condition of membranes and flashings

Interior Space

floors, ceilings, wall linings, partitions, and wet areas

Why Commercial Inspections Require Specialist Knowledge?

Commercial properties carry different risks and compliance obligations to residential ones. Building Code requirements, fire safety standards, structural loads, and maintenance obligations all differ significantly between property types.

Our team’s background in civil engineering and building surveying means we understand commercial structures at a technical level. We don’t just identify defects — we assess their significance in the context of the building’s use, age, and construction type.
