How long does a commercial inspection take?

Commercial inspection timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the property, but most inspections are completed within one full business day.

Why are commercial inspections important for investors?

Commercial inspections help investors identify costly hidden defects, deferred maintenance, roof failures, HVAC replacement risks, and structural concerns before finalizing a purchase or lease agreement.

ASTM E2018 Compliant Assessments

Protect Your Bottom Line.Know The Asset.

Q: Do you inspect Net Net Net (NNN) properties?

Yes. We inspect NNN leased properties including roof systems, HVAC units, parking lots, drainage, and structural components to identify deferred maintenance and capital expenditure risks.

Q: Do you check for Phase 1 Environmental issues?

While a commercial property inspection is not a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, we identify visible environmental concerns and recommend further evaluation when necessary.

We are the commercial inspection expert for Lafayette investors. From retail strips to industrial warehouses, we provide the data you need to negotiate NNN leases and calculate CapEx budgets.

DUE DILIGENCE

The High Cost of “Hidden” Liabilities

In commercial property inspection in Lafayette, a missed defect isn’t a $500 repair—it’s a $50,000 Capital Expenditure (CapEx) that can destroy your Year 1 Net Operating Income (NOI). As a seasoned commercial inspection expert, our role is to uncover these risks before they impact your investment.

HVAC End-of-Life

Replacing a 20-ton Rooftop Unit (RTU) can cost **$15,000+**. We verify age, condition, and maintenance history to prevent this surprise.

Flat Roof Failure

TPO/EPDM roofs in Lafayette face extreme UV and ponding water. A full replacement can run **$8-$12 per sq ft**. We walk the roof to find soft spots.

Assets We Inspect

Retail & Shopping Centers

Focus on roof condition (often neglected under NNN leases), HVAC units, and parking lot liability. Critical for lease negotiations during a commercial inspection in Lafayette.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with Select Inspections and couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, they were professional, thorough, and incredibly easy to work with. The inspector took the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I understood the condition of the property and any potential concerns. What really stood out was their attention to detail and the clear, organized report I received afterward. It was comprehensive, easy to read, and included helpful photos and recommendations. Their responsiveness and willingness to answer all my questions made the entire process stress-free. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy inspection company, I highly recommend Select Inspections. They truly go above and beyond to provide top-quality service.

Commercial FAQ

What standards do you follow for commercial inspections?

We follow the ASTM E2018-15 Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments (PCA). This is the industry gold standard recognized by lenders, banks, and institutional investors.

How much does a commercial inspection cost?

Commercial pricing is proposal-based, depending on square footage, building type, and complexity. A small retail space might start at $600, while a large warehouse or apartment complex will be higher. Use our form for a same-day quote.

Do you inspect Net Net Net (NNN) properties?

Yes. NNN inspections are critical because the tenant is often responsible for repairs. We help you document the baseline condition of the HVAC, Roof, and Structure before the lease begins or ends.

How long does the inspection take?

A typical standalone commercial building takes 3–5 hours. Larger complexes may require a full day or a team of inspectors. We can work weekends to avoid disrupting your tenants.

Do you check for Phase 1 Environmental issues?

A standard PCA is a physical inspection. While we look for visual signs of environmental hazards (mold, oil tanks), a formal Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is a separate service. We can refer you to environmental engineers if needed.
