We don’t just inspect buildings – we help you understand them.
Trusted, Certified, & Compliant
We are proud members of the Certified Commercial Property Inspectors Association (CCPIA), the industry’s leading authority for commercial inspections. Every inspection we perform adheres to CCPIA’s nationally recognized standards, ensuring a high level of accuracy, transparency, and professionalism. Working with a CCPIA-certified inspector means you’re getting a partner who understands not just the structure of a building, but the business decisions behind it. From initial consultation through to final reporting, we bring the technical insight and integrity needed for sound real estate decisions.
What sets us apart
A Team Approach for Complex Properties

From structural engineers and environmental consultants to roofing, plumbing, and elevator specialists, we know who to call and when to call them. Our team-based approach ensures you’re not just getting a report – you’re getting the insight and support needed to fully understand the asset you’re dealing with.
