Commercial Property Inspections in Ottawa
Professional commercial building inspections for buyers, investors, property owners and businesses across Ottawa.
A Building Can Look Profitable on Paper.
The property still has to perform. A commercial property is more than its purchase price.
Roofing systems age. HVAC equipment reaches the end of its service life. Exterior assemblies deteriorate. Plumbing leaks. Electrical systems require attention. Deferred maintenance accumulates.
A commercial property inspection helps identify observable deficiencies and better understand the physical condition of the building before you buy, lease, invest or plan your next capital project.

The Most Expensive Problems Aren't Always Inside the Building.
A commercial roof replacement can be a significant capital expense. So can aging HVAC equipment. Failed exterior assemblies. Drainage problems. Electrical upgrades. Or years of deferred maintenance.
Our job is to help identify observable conditions so you can better understand the building you’re considering, and know where additional investigation may be warranted.
The South African High Commission in Ottawa
A full commercial inspection was completed at the South African High Commission embassy in Ottawa, during the summer of 2026. This inspection revealed many vulnerabilities as well as potential security issues. The sample commercial report includes the partial inspection as some stuff here is meant to be kept offline. Below you can see some images of expired shingles, aligator cracking along all the flat roof, a failing eavestrough system, improper attic insulation (not up to code causing ice dams), water leaks, as well as a lone eletrical box in the attic exposed to potential roof leaks.
