Whether you’re a building owner, property manager, leasing agent, lender, or tenant, a commercial property inspection can provide a thorough and accurate assessment of your building and assist you in making the best possible decisions. Call NPI to maximize your investment, minimize risk, and lock in the most lucrative loan package.
With our diverse skill set and comprehensive training, our inspectors can help you identify the good and the bad of any commercial building. Do you need inspections across multi-locations? Contact our team.
Whether you’re investing in a sprawling commercial campus or a smaller, double-unit building, an inspection is crucial for identifying immediate and deferred maintenance repairs. The NPI Commercial Building Inspection is our comprehensive, full-service option for property owners. These types of assessments often encompass pre-purchase, pre-lease, or post-lease inspections.
In addition to all of the components of our commercial building inspections, PCAs include a comprehensive guide to estimated repair costs located within the final report. This financial guide will give you detailed insight of a property’s deficiencies and peace of mind when moving forward in the acquisition process. PCAs may require consultations with structural, construction or componential specialists (such as engineers or electricians).
During a building’s construction, your lender may order commercial draw inspections at various stages of the process. This helps ensure that funds are being disbursed sensibly for the project and usually involves a simple check of completion on the inspector’s part. Our inspectors also perform more involved commercial draw inspections that assess whether a certain stage of construction has been completed satisfactorily using the best building practices. For instance, you might order an inspection for the pouring of a foundation, drywall installation or structural support beams.
For landlords, tenants and property managers, routine maintenance inspections are invaluable when it comes to decision-making and budget-planning. NPI can assess any and all major components of your commercial building so that you can identify potential issues and keep your property in the best possible condition.
When a commercial property changes tenants, it’s important to do a thorough assessment of the building for any damages accrued. Not only will a triple net lease inspection help you justify deposit decisions, it will help keep your next tenants safe and happy for the duration of their rental agreement. Lease inspections are also an excellent opportunity to catch any needed repairs before they progress into large-scale issues.

Types of Properties We Inspect
Understanding the unique challenges of commercial properties, our specialized inspection services are tailored to address the specific needs of your business. Whether you’re investing in new real estate or maintaining an existing property, NPI ensures your commercial space is safe, compliant, and built to last.
We have the know-how to inspect apartment and multi-unit buildings, no matter how big or small. Duplexes and other buildings with up to four units are inspected from top to bottom, much like a residential home. Buildings with more than four units are thoroughly assessed structurally, and their individual units are then inspected based on a random selection of units to your scope’s specifications.
Our inspectors have the expertise to assess your warehouse, distribution center, or light industry manufacturing facility. For facilities that produce small consumer-oriented goods, like foods, beverages, personal care items, household products, and clothing, National Property Inspections can provide a detailed report on the condition of your facilities.
Employee and customer safety always come first. Order a commercial property inspection for your retail or office building to ensure that parking lots, roofing, plumbing, stairs, and HVAC systems are all up to par.
Special purpose facilities include theaters, gyms, gas stations, hospitals, and more. At National Property Inspections, we inspect it all, and you’ll receive a full electronic inspection report complete with digital photographs.
Similar to a multi-unit apartment inspection, our inspectors can choose a selection of hotel rooms or tailor the report to your unique needs. From one story to high-rise, we inspect plumbing, appliances, HVAC systems, and any other areas of concern.
What's Included in a Commercial Property Inspection from NPI?
What you can expect from your commercial property inspection depends largely on the type of facility you’re having inspected. Still, there are a few aspects of the property that your inspector will always check, barring your specific instructions.
- Structural Integrity: We assess the building’s foundation, walls, floors, and roof to identify any structural issues, such as cracks, settling, or water damage, that could compromise the building’s stability.
- Electrical System: Our inspectors evaluate the electrical wiring, panels, and outlets to ensure they meet safety standards and can handle the power needs of your business without posing a fire risk.
- Plumbing System: We check for leaks, water pressure, drainage, and the condition of pipes and fixtures, ensuring the plumbing is free of potential issues that could disrupt your operations.
- HVAC System: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are inspected for proper functioning, and energy efficiency, ensuring a comfortable and healthy environment for your employees, tenants, and/or customers.
- Roof System Our inspectors examine the roof’s condition, including the material, drainage, and any signs of damage or wear that could lead to leaks or other problems.
- & More! Our inspection and report can be completely tailored to your unique needs. We understand that no commercial building is alike, so we can adapt the scope of our inspection to give you all of the information needed to make an informed investment. Our team will work with you one-on-one to customize your scope, and we can coordinate specialists and third-party contractors if necessary.
