For the Landlord or for the Tenant
– The Brief:
The following outlines the inspection criteria brief for Commercial Property Pre-inspections, which provides a list of inspection considerations for commercial property from retail strip shopping to multilevel office buildings. The core of the inspection list relies upon two critical, the first being the provision of photographic evidence with a date stamp, and the second accessing areas real estate agents would not typically access, including the roof, ceiling space, under the floor (data centres) and other similar areas.
Contractor’s License
We are licensed Electrical Contractors, Air Conditioning, and tradespeople providing for installation, services, and maintenance.

Accessing the roof to inspect air conditioning units and access the ceiling space to inspect the internal services such as ducts, air conditioning, fire, lighting, plumbing, and other ceiling space services, and roof-mounted services is in typical days work for our team.
WHS Systems, Equipment, Insurance
In our works, in Commercial Property Pre-inspections, we have the systems, equipment (such as fibreglass ladders), and the appropriate insurance for working in these hazardous areas. Our Business insurance is for $20,000,000:00.

Basic Inspection
We define a basic inspection as that which you would find in the residential environment
where items such as doors, walls, windows, kitchenettes, bathrooms and their chattels are inspected for condition and working order. Digital Photographs are always supplied. The “basic Inspection” is included as a part of our “global inspection.”
Global Inspection
The Global inspection includes access to the roof, basements, under floors, roof space, ceiling space, and other areas, which may require specialized equipment and specialized experience in noting anomalies and/or potential risks in the services.
What do we look for?
We look for the following (but not limited to) conditions in our inspections:
- Cleanliness
- Operations
- General physical condition
- Likely hood of a breakdown
- Serviceability
- Signs of Fatigue: Rust, Water, oil, burns, shape, noise, rub markings, stress, Age, Obsolescence
- Compliance with legislation
- Relevant documentation
Asset Register | Commercial Property Pre-inspections
A Commercial Property Pre-inspection is an opportunity to create the foundation for an asset register for the property. This creates value and diligence for a perceived purchaser or valued tenant. A typical asset register includes parameters such as:
- Model number
- Serial number
- Cost to purchase
- Cost to replace,
- Obsolescence,
- Life term,
- Remaining life,
- Expected failure Date
