Commercial Property Maintenance

Regardless of the size or type of a commercial property, various kinds of maintenance must be performed, including general upkeep, emergency repairs, and special inspections (such as may be directed by an insurance company). But of particular importance for preserving buildings, equipment, and the grounds is preventive (or preventative) maintenance. 

All commercial buildings require some form of maintenance to allow for their continuous use and safe operating conditions. Preventive maintenance is a form of proactive maintenance that can prolong service life expectancies and prevent equipment failure, when implemented appropriately. PM strategies also promote a reduction in overall maintenance costs, whereas reactive maintenance is typically associated with unplanned downtime and high expenditures for repair or replacement.

Most commercial facilities have more in common than not, including their common critical assets, such as plumbing, electrical, and mechanical equipment. However, certain building types have unique maintenance considerations. Some PM programs employ a team of full- or part-time personnel that takes care of a property. Other programs call for hiring a commercial property inspector to address the inspection portion of the maintenance program.

Buying a Commercial Property

Before you close on a commercial property, know what needs attention. Suburban Inspection evaluates accessible building systems and components, documenting visible defects and maintenance concerns that could affect your purchase and plans for the property.

​

Rob Zorzan follows the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties, with the inspection scope established around the building and your needs. Your report explains observed conditions, inspection limitations and areas that may require further specialist evaluation.
