Commercial Property Inspections in Northern Utah

Commercial property inspections operate on a different standard than residential. The buyer is typically an investor, a lender's underwriter, or a corporate occupier — not a family. The deliverable is a Property Condition Assessment (PCA), a detailed report on the building's systems, expected useful life of major components, and immediate-versus-deferred capital needs. Kerry's commercial inspections are scoped against the ASTM E2018 standard practice for property condition assessments, the framework most institutional buyers and lenders expect.

Property types served include retail (single-tenant and strip), office buildings, multifamily apartments, light industrial and flex space, mixed-use, restaurants, and small-to-mid-size institutional buildings. Inspection scope scales with the property — a 5,000 sq ft retail box might be a one-day inspection; a 60-unit apartment building or a multi-tenant office can run multiple days with sample-unit inspections, common-area review, and deeper system documentation.

Pricing reflects scope. Commercial work is more involved than residential and the report carries different weight in the transaction — it informs purchase price negotiation, lender risk decisions, and reserve-funding calculations for capital improvements. A good PCA is one of the cheapest things you'll buy in a commercial transaction relative to what it protects.
