I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.

Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations.  He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting.  His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.

Have used Atlanta Property Inspections several times for my buyers.  Their team is always very thorough and educational for the new home owners.  Much information is shared about past/current codes, potential issues and how to have the issues repaired.  I will continue to use Atlanta Property Inspectors for future inspections, and my clients have been very happy with their services as well!

The inspector Frank came to our house to inspect the deck and provide a list of safety problems. While he was there we asked him to take a look at some termite damage in the attic.  When he went to the attic he spotted problems with a squirrel infestation requiring immediate action to correct for chewed wiring and unsanitary conditions.  We were unaware of this problem.  Frank provided a comprehensive inspection report in PDF format including multiple photos showing deck post deterioration, sagging joists and yes even a picture of the live squirrel in the attic. Frank is totally professional, knows his area of expertise very well and offers sound recommendations on how to correct problems without spending money for unnecessary improvements.  For example he told us the ledger board was in good shape and did not have to be replaced, only secured to the house wall with additional bolts. The small amount we paid for the inspection was well spent because the inspection will end up saving us money in the long run.

My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.

Atlanta property inspections gave me a very competitor quote and stuck to it for final pricing. They were able to get someone out to do the inspection so quickly. Frank and James were very thorough and helpful during the process they encouraged me to look at what they found, the good and bad, so I knew exactly what I am buying.  I couldn't have asked for a better inspection experience!

How Much Does a Commercial Building Inspection Cost?

Before buying a commercial property, buyers and owners alike should think carefully about the need for a commercial property inspection. For the most part, property inspections involve more intricate elements that call for specialized knowledge, in contrast to residential inspections, which require a larger space most of the time. A commercial property inspection is a valuable investment that can save you money in the long run. The cost of an inspection will depend on many factors, and in this article, we will discuss the importance of commercial property inspections, what kinds of factors influence prices, and what you can expect cost-wise.

Credentials

For home inspectors, having certain certifications is an important sign that shows the level of professionalism, since these organizations require dedication to maintaining professional standards. Before you hire a home inspector, make sure to check the inspector's credentials and inquire about their training and educational history. Not all states require ASHI certification, but being ASHI certified is certainly crucial for a home inspector. These inspectors are subject to certain criteria set by society, including passing a number of exams and fulfilling requirements. In order to receive the designation of "ASHI Certified Inspector," an inspector must complete over 250 expert home inspections, demonstrating their depth of knowledge in the field.

Percentage of the Listing Price

Taking a percentage of the sale price is how some inspectors prefer to measure the cost. This pricing structure has been used especially for large-scale commercial inspection projects. After deducting a portion from the building's sale price, the inspector will hire additional specialists and inspectors to assist them in completing the project.

Time-Based Pricing

Business inspectors also estimate the inspection price based on the estimated time of completion for the inspection team. The inspector will often strive for an average hourly rate, knowing the worth of his services. Usually, the inspection will take about 8–9 hours, so the hourly cost will be multiplied by that, but of course, the amount of time it takes for the inspection to be completed depends on the size of the building.

Area-Based Pricing

The price or cost based on the building's size is the most common approach. This is said to be the easiest and most logical approach. First, the home inspector defines the cost per square foot. Within that cost, there might be a number of distinct subgroups, such as office space, warehouse space, manufacturing facilities, auditorium space, and any other kind of structure. 

What Can You Expect?

To give you an idea of what the prices look like, we can say that:

  • Small to Medium-Sized Properties: Pricing usually varies from $500 to $2,500 for basic inspections or smaller commercial properties.
  • Medium- to Large-Sized Properties: These may require more thorough inspections, which could result in expenses of up to $10,000.

Relible Home Inspection Services

In summary, a thorough commercial building inspection guarantees the property's longevity, usability, and safety. To detect possible problems early on, it is essential to use the experience of a home inspector who is knowledgeable in home inspection procedures. By taking preventive measures, you can protect your investment and feel secure in the knowledge that the building complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
