Partial Commercial Inspection
Purpose of the Partial Commercial Inspection
The Partial Commercial Inspection provides a summary of the main systems and components of the building and is less concerned about the minor problems. This inspection is still very comprehensive, but not as detailed as the General Commercial Inspection.
While no inspection can eliminate your risk completely, this inspection will give you an excellent picture of the building’s main systems and components current condition.
How the Partial Commercial Inspection is Performed
