Oklahoma Commercial Property Inspections

The fee depends on several factors, such as the size, age, and type of property. Rest assured, my fees are competitive with the local market and in many cases lower than what others charge. Why? Because most inspectors simply overcharge their commercial clients.  I carefully evaluate the property and determiine what exactly you need to provide you a fair quote. My goal is to provide you value that far exceeeds the inspection fee paid. A small conveninece store  built in 2010 inspection may cost $750 to inspect.  A large retail shopping center built in 1974 could cost $5000.  A medium-sized hotel buillt in 2004 might cost $3000.  A small hardware store built in 1913 could cost $1500.  

I am qualified to inspect most commercial properties . Examples include warehouses, offices, shopping centers, banks, church buildings, convenience stores, doctor's offices, most freestanding retail buildings, automotive shops, dealerships, restaurants, attorney offices, apartment complexes, small to medium-sized hotels, condominiums, and more. Regardless of the size or type of property, reach out to me for a quote. I am willing to work on an inspection team that you might be assembling for major projects.

• I am a Certified Commercial Property Inspector . This means I have specific training for commercial property inspections and follow a strict code of ethics. 
• I am a state-licensed home inspector and structural pest inspector. That training and experience directly translates to inspecting light commercial properties. I have also completed supplemental commercial property training from ICA (Inspection Certifications Associates). 
• I am a retired Norman Police Detective with years of training that have enhanced my observation abilities.
• Am certified to inspect for termites and other wood destroying insects upon request. 
• Simple, online property condition report delivered within 24hrs of the inspection. 
• Available statewide.  
• I do not overcharge my clients. 
• I personally conduct the inspection, I do not have employees or hire contractors like other inspection companies do. I am a professionally-trained inspection "generalist" who can let you know if you need a specialist, to evaluate something further. I provide you useful information about the overall condition of the property. 

NO.  It is impossible to identify every single defect at a property.  Why?  Several reasons:  1) The inspection is based-on a visual walk-through of the property. It is not technically exhaustive. We do not dismantle building components or attach specialty tools to systems. There could be defects hidden behind the walls, underground, - or behind a piece of large furniture. The goal is reduce your uncertainty and risk involved in buying the property- not eliminate it.   2) The inspection takes place over the course of several hours on a single day.  it is impossible to look at every square inch of a property in one visit.  If we had the  luxury of conducting the inspection over the course of a week, the fee would be MUCH higher, however we would likely find more defects each time we visited. 3) The inspection covers a representaive sample of systems, components, and rooms. If a hotel has 60 rooms, the goal would be to evlauate 5 to 10 vacant rooms on each floor. Not every receptacle will be tested, not every toilet will be flushed. 

I follow the International Standards of Practice for Inspecting Commercial Properties (ComSOP) .  A copy of this standards of practice can be found HERE.
