EXTERIOR BUILDING INSPECTIONS
The appearance and condition of a commercial building can make a significant impact on the success of a business. Whether you are a property owner, a property manager, or a potential buyer, ensuring the exterior of your commercial building is in good condition is crucial. Commercial exterior building inspection services are designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the exterior of a commercial building. This includes the building’s facade, roof, windows, doors, and other exterior elements. The purpose of these inspections is to identify any potential issues or areas of concern that could affect the safety, integrity, and appearance of the building.
By conducting regular inspections, property owners and managers can address any issues promptly, preventing them from escalating into costly repairs or safety hazards. Additionally, these inspections can significantly assist property owners and managers in prioritizing maintenance and improvement projects.

DRONE INSPECTION
Drones have become an invaluable tool for conducting inspections of large and complex commercial properties. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced imaging software, drones can capture detailed images of a building’s exterior from every angle, providing inspectors with a comprehensive view of the property. This allows for a more thorough assessment of the building’s condition, identifying any potential issues or areas in need of repair.
THERMAL IMAGING
Thermal imaging cameras can detect temperature variations on the building’s surface, which can indicate potential issues with insulation, water damage, or electrical systems.
LASER SCANNING
Laser scanning has also been instrumental in improving the accuracy and efficiency of commercial exterior building inspections. Laser scanning technology can create detailed 3D models of the building, allowing inspectors to analyze the structure’s integrity and identify any areas of concern.
ADVANCED SOFTWARE & DATA ANALYTICS
The use of advanced software and data analytics has streamlined the inspection process, allowing inspectors to quickly analyze and interpret the vast amount of data collected during an inspection. This not only saves time and resources but also enables inspectors to provide property owners with more accurate and actionable insights into the condition of their buildings.
The benefits of these advanced technologies are clear. Commercial building inspections can now be conducted more efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively.

EXTERIOR ELEMENTS
Your commercial property’s exterior is composed of various components and materials that work together to protect your property from the weather, pests, and intruders.
Each component has a specific function and requires regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its optimal performance and condition.
Below are some of the main components we inspect and why they are important.
Building Envelope
The building envelope is the protective barrier that separates the interior and exterior environments of your property. It consists of insulation, exterior cladding, sealants, and weatherproofing systems that prevent moisture, air infiltration, and temperature fluctuations from affecting your property.
A well-sealed and weather-resistant building envelope can:
Prevent moisture intrusion that causes mold growth, rotting, corrosion, or structural damage.
Reduce energy loss that causes increases in your heating and cooling costs and carbon footprint.
Enhance indoor comfort and air quality by maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels.
The building envelope’s integrity is checked for any signs of damage, deterioration, or inefficiency. Our team uses thermal imaging technology to detect any hidden problems or inefficiencies in your property’s exterior including moisture intrusion, air leaks, insulation gaps, electrical hotspots, and more.
Roofing Systems
The roofing system is the critical component that covers the top of your property and protects it from the elements. It includes roofing materials, structural elements, flashing, gutters, and downspouts that shield your property from rain, snow, wind, hail, sunlight, and debris.
A functional and durable roofing system can:
Prevent roof leaks that cause water damage to your property’s interior or exterior components.
Prevent damage or wear and tear that compromise your property’s protection or appearance.
Extend the lifespan of your roofing materials by preventing premature aging or degradation.
Improve energy efficiency by reflecting or absorbing heat depending on the climate.
You can expect a thorough inspection of your roofing system’s condition and functionality. We use drone technology to access hard-to-reach areas of your roof in high-resolution images and videos of your chimney, vents, skylights, solar panels, and more.
Siding, Windows, and Doors
The siding, windows, and doors play a vital role in energy efficiency and security. They are the outermost layer of your property’s exterior that provide insulation, ventilation, natural light, and access control.
Well-maintained siding, windows, and doors can:
Prevent damage or wear that will affect your property’s curb appeal or structural integrity.
Ensure functionality and weatherproofing that may prevent air or water infiltration or energy loss.
Enhance security features that are essential to preventing intruders or unauthorized access.
We make sure these components are in optimal condition. Siding materials are checked for signs of damage or wear, windows and doors are evaluated for functionality and weatherproofing as well as security features such as locks, sensors, alarms, cameras, etc.
