ISLAND INSPECTION SERVICES

TYPES OF COMMERCIAL INSPECTIONS

WE OFFER 4 INSPECTION ALTERNATIVES

• Complete Building Inspection

  The complete building inspection is a full written report covering the grounds, site work, foundation, structure, roofing, gutter system, exterior components, electrical system, plumbing, retaining walls, and any other operational systems pertinent to the building. Our typical commercial inspection report will define, identify and include the inspectors findings for the working components and operating systems of the building and surrounding site work. We will also identify, investigate or exclude any observed hazardous or unusual conditions. We will provide any pertinent photo and video documentation as part of our findings to help clarify the inspectors findings.
  
  We will perform a limited inspection of the interiors as a reference for the structural integrity and for any visual plumbing or electrical problems. We do perform basic testing of operational systems, but it is not our intent to perform an in-depth engineering analysis nor to conduct technically exhaustive studies. We will not perform any invasive testing without written consent from selling agents or as agreed upon for further evaluation. The complete building inspection report will come in a narrative form in a presentation binder with digital photos as reference. The report takes typically one to two weeks to complete.

• Full Building Investment Inspection

  The full building investment inspection is designed to provide clients with more than just a basic building overview. The investment inspection includes our complete building inspection report with the addition of: cost estimates for items in need of current repair or replacement, projected ten year cost analysis and overlay, written and documented solutions for current problems or deficiencies, digital video documentation of inspection process and findings, and on site consultations with our inspectors and other necessary specialists we may bring in. We perform full inspections on a sample numbering of interior units both for structural analysis and to establish the condition of the interior spaces. This type of report takes approximately three to four weeks to complete.

• Consultation Walk Through

  The consultation walk through is designed for the investor who needs help deciding upon the nature and scope of the services they require. We usually spend a day with the client providing a general overview of the property in question with a verbal summary upon completion and a time for consultation after the initial inspection. The typical things covered are the condition of the main structure, functionality of the site work, general interior and exterior components, drainage and functional water flow, and a basic overview of the electrical, plumbing and roofing systems. We also spend time with the client covering any repair or replacement recommendations and basic cost analysis of repairs. This style of inspection does not come with a full written report, but we can provide a short written summary of our findings or anything else that is of concern of the client. The cost for this inspection will vary and cam be set up at the clients convenience.

• Partial Building Inspection

  Occasionally there may be an individual component of a property that is of concern to a client. We often perform inspections of specific areas such as the roof, electrical, plumbing or other individual components. The report format is similar to our main inspections and will define, identify and include the inspectors findings as well as identify, investigate or exclude any observed hazardous or unusual conditions. The cost is determined by the nature and scope of the work and can vary from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
