Commercial Building Inspections in Michigan
Protect Your Investment, Ensure Compliance, and Minimize Risk
If you’re a property manager, real estate broker, real estate investor, business owner, or a landlord in Michigan, you know that the stakes are high when it comes to owning or leasing commercial property. A professional commercial building inspection isn’t just an easy checkbox list to go through, it’s a crucial part of protecting your investment, reducing liability, and staying compliant with state and federal codes.
At Michigan Property Inspections, we provide comprehensive, reliable, and fully certified commercial property inspections across Oakland, Wayne, Macomb County and 15 surrounding counties. From small retail storefronts to multi-tenant office buildings, we’re here to help you make informed decisions.
What Is a Commercial Building Inspection?
A commercial building inspection is a detailed evaluation of the major systems and structural components of a commercial property. Unlike a basic walkthrough or city code check, our inspections dig deeper, identifying existing issues, deferred maintenance, safety risks, and non-compliance that could cost you thousands down the road.
We tailor each inspection to the property type, usage, and your specific concerns.
Areas can include:
- Site & grounds: parking lots, walkways, drainage, grading, retaining walls, exterior lighting.
- Structural system: foundations, framing, load-bearing walls, signs of movement/settlement.
- Roof system: coverings, flashings, drainage, penetrations, parapets; condition & remaining life.
- Exterior envelope: walls/cladding, windows/doors, sealants, weeps; water-intrusion risks.
- Interior areas: representative offices/units, common areas, restrooms; moisture damage, trip hazards.
- Mechanical (HVAC): equipment identification, condition, distribution, ventilation, basic control checks.
- Electrical: service size, panels, feeders/branch wiring, grounding/bonding, lighting, emergency power (if present).
- Plumbing: supply/fixtures, water heaters, drains/vents, backflow devices, visible leaks.
- Fire & life safety: sprinklers/standpipes, alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting, exit signage & egress.
- Accessibility (ADA) observations: parking, routes, entrances, restrooms—readily observable barriers.
