Investors understand they can enlist the services of Architects or Engineers, but they are also acutely aware of the higher costs associated with these options. Commercial Property Investors seek rapid results, often dictated by the property and its location. Although hiring Architects or Engineers is an option, it entails added expenses because the first step usually involves employing a Contractor to manage the process, meaning you’re paying for multiple professionals.

As a Commercial Property Inspector, realtors and investment firms recognize that engaging a competent property inspector can provide them with a significant advantage. They see the value in having a Commercial Building Inspector conduct a thorough and impartial assessment of the property in question.

Even if you are the current owner contemplating a sale after years of leasing, it makes sense to hire a Commercial Property Inspector, like our firm, to evaluate the current condition of your property.

With over 40 years of experience in the Commercial Industrial sector, Menard Building Solutions has witnessed both the good and the bad. When we perform our diligent inspection service, if we determine that your situation warrants the expertise of a licensed Architect or Engineer, you can trust that we will guide you in that direction. We prioritize transparency; should we identify any potential hazards or elements nearing the end of their life expectancy, we will document and report our findings.

This is where our unbiased inspection service proves invaluable. We liken any building to a living, breathing entity in terms of its overall condition. Human interaction is vital; without individuals working in or occupying the building, essential mechanical systems may fail due to maintenance neglect, often indicated by utilities being disconnected—an unmistakable sign of decline for any structure.

We meticulously assess five crucial aspects of the building’s structure:

- Electrical

- HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning)

- Plumbing

- Roofing

- Structural Integrity

Additionally, we evaluate Life Safety, ADA compliancy, Elevator Maintenance Records, and backup power systems, such as UPS or Generators.

Property Developers and Investors need to understand the current status of these critical elements. Each of these components is an asset to the Investor. If these assets are recently updated or appear favorable on documentation, you will be well-informed. Conversely, if repairs or upgrades are too costly, you’re likely to reconsider the investment. Should you decide to pass based on the inspection results, we believe it’s always wise to seek another perspective if you’re still uncertain. However, rest assured, we diligently work on your behalf, regardless of the outcome of our final report.

Our role is to observe, report, and inform.

We advise our clients: “Let us do the research, and you make the decisions" repeat clients understand this outcome.
