Purchasing, leasing or managing a commercial property requires a clear understanding of its condition before making important financial decisions. At Inform Building Inspections, we provide comprehensive commercial building inspections that identify defects, maintenance requirements, moisture concerns and potential risks, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.

Our inspections are tailored to a wide range of commercial properties, including offices, retail premises, warehouses, industrial buildings, hospitality venues, medical facilities and investment properties.

Our Commercial Building Inspections Include:

  • Exterior cladding and building envelope

  • Foundations and structural elements (visual inspection)

  • Interior spaces and finishes

  • Moisture testing where appropriate

  • Windows, doors and joinery

  • Decks, balconies and external structures

  • Site drainage and surrounding grounds

  • General maintenance and safety observations

Following the inspection, you'll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report complete with colour photographs, a summary of significant findings and practical recommendations to assist with budgeting, negotiations and future maintenance planning.

Whether you're purchasing a commercial property, negotiating a lease or managing an investment portfolio, our independent inspections provide valuable insight into the condition of your asset.

Commercial Due Diligence Inspections

Reduce Risk Before You Invest

A commercial property purchase represents a significant investment. Our Due Diligence Building Inspections provide the information you need to identify risks before contracts become unconditional.

Our inspections are designed for investors, developers, business owners, local authorities and commercial purchasers who require an independent assessment of a property's overall condition.

During a due diligence inspection we assess the visible condition of the building, identify maintenance issues, defects and moisture concerns, and highlight items that may require specialist investigation or future expenditure.

Our reports help clients:

  • Understand the overall condition of the property

  • Identify potential repair and maintenance costs

  • Assist with price negotiations

  • Support investment decisions

  • Reduce unexpected financial risk after purchase

Each report is prepared in a clear, practical format with supporting photographs and recommendations where further investigation may be appropriate.

Dilapidation Reports

Independent Pre & Post Construction Condition Reports

A Dilapidation Report documents the existing condition of a property before construction or civil works begin. By recording visible defects such as cracking, movement and general condition, it provides an objective record that can be relied upon throughout a project.

At Inform Building Inspections, we prepare comprehensive pre-construction and post-construction dilapidation reports for residential, commercial and retail properties throughout Taranaki.

Our reports are commonly commissioned before:

  • Roading and infrastructure works

  • Commercial developments

  • Demolition projects

  • Excavation and earthworks

  • Civil construction

  • Large-scale renovations

  • Utility installations

Our Reports Include

  • Detailed photographic record

  • Existing cracks and defects

  • Floor and wall movement observations

  • General condition of building elements

  • External structures and hard landscaping

  • Internal finishes

  • Nominal crack measurements where appropriate

  • Comprehensive written documentation

Following construction, a post-condition inspection can be completed to compare the property's condition against the original report and identify any changes that may have occurred during the project.
