What types of commercial property inspection services do you offer?
We provide CCPIA-compliant commercial inspection services in accordance with the ComSOP standard.

An Accessibility Inspection (ADA compliance review)
A Cost to Cure Report (an estimate of repair costs for identified deficiencies)
A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment (identifies contamination risks, like hazardous substances, petroleum, etc.)
Bundled together, those three services form our Property Condition Assessment (PCA) — the most comprehensive due diligence package.

We use ASTM E-2018-15 as the baseline standard for all inspection reporting.
Liability & Risk
No inspection report is perfect. We hold the highest qualifications and maintain liability insurance to ensure we minimize errors and omissions. No inspection is a guarantee or warranty of any kind. Liability is limited to the inspection fee.
Inspection Agreements
We require that every commercial inspection client agree to and sign our inspection agreement. This is standard practice within the inspection industry and meets insurance compliance standards. Included in the agreement is the scope of practice, outline of the payment policy and guarantee of payment, limitations and liabilities, procedures for submitting claims, and more.
Payment and Scheduling Policy
The inspection is scheduled immediately upon acceptance of the proposal.
100% of the inspection fee is due within 24 hours of accepting the proposal.
The individual or entity signing the Agreement is financially responsible for all inspection fees and any optional services selected, even if signing
on behalf of another party such as a buyer, seller, lender, broker, or property manager.
A $350 fee will be charged for any cancellation or rescheduling that occurs within 72 hours of the scheduled inspection start time.
Preferred payment methods are secure credit/debit cards or ACH transfers.
We do not offer net payment options.
We do not offer defer-to-closing payment options.
Reports are not released until agreements are executed and fees are paid in full.
Travel Policy
We are willing to travel to any location within OK, AR, KS, and MO. When we travel to a commercial inspection site, we charge the inspector's hourly rate for the duration of the expected travel time. Should an overnight stay be required (for a multiple-day project), we calculate hotel fees and meals into the inspection cost.

are commercial inspections completely EXHAUSTIVE?
4.4 Uncertainty - 4.5 Subjectivity - 8.1. Limitations:
The client should understand that no inspection report is completely accurate. A report is only the written communication of the observations made and research conducted by the inspector. The report contains those items which, in the inspector's opinion, are likely to be of interest to his/her client. The client should understand that the inspection report is, to a large degree, the subjective opinions of the inspector based on his/her observations and research within the limits of access, time and budget, and without the aid of special equipment or meters, and without dismantling, probing, testing or troubleshooting, and without detailed knowledge of the commercial property, its components or its systems. The inspection report is not much more than a subjective professional opinion.
I. An inspection is not technically exhaustive.
II. An inspection will not identify concealed or latent defects.
III. An inspection will not deal with aesthetic concerns or what could be deemed matters of taste, cosmetic defects, etc.
IV. An inspection will not determine the suitability of the property for any use.
V. An inspection does not determine the market value of the property, or its marketability.
VI. An inspection does not determine the insurability of the property.
VII. An inspection does not determine the advisability or inadvisability of the purchase of the inspected property.
VIII. An inspection does not determine the life expectancy of the property, or any components or systems therein.
IX. An inspection does not include items not permanently installed.
X. These Standards of Practice apply only to commercial properties.

Does the COMMERCIAL inspection provide guarantee, warranty, or insurance of any kind?
4.7 Not a Warranty, Guarantee or Insurance Policy
The inspection is not a warranty, and the inspection report is merely the written communication of the inspector's subjective opinion on the condition of the subject property. (sourced from InterNACHI COMSOP)
To what degree is the client/owner/agent to provide access to the physical property and documentation regarding the property?
It is the client's responsibility to arrange for the inspector to receive timely access to the subject property for the walk-through survey portion of the inspection, as well as access to all documents and interviewees needed for the research portion of the inspection. This includes access to all documents, information and previously generated reports in the client's possession. The inspector is not responsible for obtaining, reviewing or providing information, should the source withhold, impede or delay access. Anything that hinders the inspector's access should be noted in the report. (sourced from InterNACHI COMSOP)
Does every inspection include an Opinion of Cost Report?
This is an additional service that can be arranged for a client. The cost, in both time and money, of acquiring additional information about the subject property to provide an Opinion of Cost Report will increase the price of the inspection.
The inspector is not required to provide repair estimates or opinions of costs to remedy. The inspector may offer opinions about such costs as a courtesy, but the offering of these opinions is outside the scope of a “typical” (*) commercial inspection.
