Pre-Lease Commercial Inspection

Protect yourself before you sign.

The lease you sign today determines what you inherit tomorrow. Before you commit to a 3-, 5-, or 10-year commercial lease, you need to know the true condition of the space you're moving into. Most commercial leases shift maintenance and repair obligations to tenants in ways that aren't obvious at signing — and a building system that's already failing can become an expensive surprise that's entirely your problem.
What We Check Before Your Lease

Five systems that decide whether your lease is a deal or a trap.

01

HVAC Condition & Remaining Life

In Phoenix, inheriting a 14-year-old rooftop package unit on a triple-net lease can cost you $40,000–$120,000 in replacement costs during your lease term. We assess every unit for age, condition, and remaining life — and tell you exactly what to negotiate: landlord-funded replacement, reduced lease rate, or a lease provision that caps your HVAC exposure.

02

Electrical Capacity for Your Planned Use

Will the building's electrical service support your equipment, signage, lighting, and operations? We assess current capacity and flag constraints before your tenant improvement plans are designed around infrastructure that can't support them.

03

Plumbing, Roof & Building Envelope

Active leaks, drainage issues, and aging mechanical systems that will create operational disruptions during your tenancy.

04

ADA Compliance

Are accessible parking spaces, restrooms, and entrances up to current ADA requirements? Compliance responsibilities are frequently ambiguous in commercial leases — knowing the state before you sign helps clarify who is responsible.

05

Life Safety Systems

Fire suppression, alarm systems, egress, and emergency lighting — all of which affect your Certificate of Occupancy and your insurance.
