What is a Office Buildings Inspection?
An office building inspection evaluates the physical condition, major systems, and code compliance of commercial office properties — from single-storey professional buildings to multi-storey towers. The assessment covers structural, mechanical, electrical, envelope, and interior systems relevant to office occupancy.
Key Inspection Considerations
- HVAC zoning and tenant comfort across multiple floors
- Elevator systems, maintenance records, and modernization needs
- Building envelope performance — curtain walls, window seals, caulking
- Common area condition and ACA/barrier-free compliance
- Electrical capacity for modern office technology loads
- Parking structure condition and drainage
Common Deficiencies
- Aging HVAC rooftop units past useful life
- Window seal failures and water infiltration

- Deferred parking lot maintenance and drainage issues
- Outdated fire alarm and sprinkler systems
- Electrical panel capacity limitations

We assess structural systems, HVAC, electrical distribution, plumbing, elevators, fire protection, building envelope, roofing, parking, and interior common areas.
How long does an office building inspection take?
Typically 4–8 hours on-site depending on building size and complexity. Multi-storey buildings with mechanical penthouses may require a full day.

We inspect common areas and building systems by default. Individual suite inspections can be added as part of a tenant improvement condition report.

We perform a visual assessment of elevator cab condition, operation, and maintenance records. We recommend specialized TSSA-certified elevator inspections for detailed compliance.
