Your Inspection
What to expect from your inspection.
At Dwelling Inspections, our commercial inspections are designed to give you a deep and accurate understanding of the physical condition of a commercial property, whether you’re buying, selling, leasing, managing, or planning maintenance. Commercial inspections are more complex than residential inspections: they cover major structural systems, life safety concerns, regulatory observations, accessibility evaluations, and deferred maintenance issues.
Our certified commercial inspectors follow recognized industry standards and best practices to deliver actionable insights that help you make informed decisions with confidence.
