HAWK DESIGN DEPOT • COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INSPECTIONS

Know what you're looking at before it becomes your problem.

Commercial property decisions can involve a lot of money and even more uncertainty. Hawk Design Depot provides professional commercial property condition inspections and facility assessments designed to help owners, buyers, managers and organizations better understand the visible condition of a property.

CCPIA® CERTIFIED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INSPECTOR
EXPERIENCE BEYOND THE CHECKLIST

Commercial property inspections backed by real-world facility experience.

Hawk Design Depot commercial property inspections are performed by Jeff Hauck Sr., CCPI, a CCPIA® Certified Commercial Property Inspector with extensive experience in facilities management, commercial building systems, maintenance operations, capital planning and property-condition assessment.

Commercial buildings are working systems. A roof issue can become an interior problem. Poor drainage can affect pavement and building components. Deferred mechanical maintenance can become an operating-cost or capital-replacement issue.

The goal is not simply to produce a checklist. It is to identify visible conditions, document concerns clearly and provide useful information that helps owners, buyers, investors and property managers make better-informed decisions.

PROPERTY CONDITION REVIEW

A practical look at the property from the ground up.

Inspection scope is tailored to the property, assignment and client objectives. A typical visual inspection may include accessible areas of the following building systems and components.

SITE

Site & Grounds

Parking areas, pavement, sidewalks, drainage observations, landscaping interfaces and other visible site conditions.

ROOF

Roofing & Exterior

Visible roofing conditions where safely accessible, exterior walls, doors, windows, penetrations and building-envelope concerns.

HVAC

Mechanical Systems

Visible HVAC equipment, accessible mechanical areas and apparent equipment or maintenance concerns.

ELEC

Electrical

Accessible electrical components, panels and visible conditions within the agreed inspection scope.

H₂O

Plumbing

Visible plumbing components, fixtures, leaks and signs of moisture intrusion.

INT

Interior Conditions

Interior finishes, ceilings, walls, floors and visible conditions that may indicate maintenance or building-system concerns.

PM

Deferred Maintenance

Visible aging, deterioration or delayed maintenance that may warrant repair planning or additional evaluation.

SAFE

Life-Safety Observations

Visible fire and life-safety components within the agreed scope, with specialist evaluation recommended where appropriate.

PCA

Overall Property Condition

An organized overview of significant visible property conditions observed during the inspection.

THE FACILITY PERSPECTIVE

One condition can affect several building systems.

Commercial properties do not operate as isolated components. A drainage problem can affect pavement. A roof leak can become an interior problem. Poor equipment maintenance can become an operating-cost or capital-replacement issue.

Look Beyond the Symptom Visible damage can sometimes be the result of another condition elsewhere in the property.
Document What Matters Significant observations are communicated clearly so the client understands what was observed and why it deserves attention.
Know When to Go Deeper Additional evaluation by an appropriate qualified professional may be recommended when a condition is outside the inspection scope.
Support Better Planning Good information can help owners and managers prioritize maintenance, evaluation and future capital decisions.
WHO WE WORK WITH

Useful information before an important property decision.

The inspection scope should reflect the property and the decision the client is trying to make.

Property Buyers

Better understand visible building conditions before completing a commercial property purchase.

Property Owners

Document current conditions and identify areas that may deserve additional attention.

Facility Managers

Support maintenance planning, condition documentation and capital project discussions.

Business Owners

Gain additional insight when considering a new commercial location or operating facility.

Investors

Add a practical property-condition review to the due-diligence process.

Organizations

Obtain independent documentation of visible commercial property conditions for planning and decision-making.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

Start with the property and the decision you need to make.

1

Tell Us About the Property

Provide the property type, approximate size, location and the reason you are requesting the inspection.

2

Define the Inspection Scope

We discuss areas of concern, objectives, available access and the level of documentation needed.

3

Inspect the Property

Accessible property areas and agreed-upon systems are visually reviewed and documented.

4

Document Conditions

Observations are organized with photographs and written descriptions as appropriate to the assignment.

5

Identify What Needs Attention

Significant observations and recommendations for additional specialist evaluation are identified where appropriate.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TYPES

Every property is different.

Contact Hawk Design Depot to discuss your building, property type and inspection objectives.

Office Buildings
Retail Properties
Banking Facilities
Warehouses
Mixed-Use Properties
Commercial Centers
Owner-Occupied Facilities
Investment Properties
WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Useful information without unnecessary jargon.

The objective is to provide organized, understandable documentation of visible property conditions observed during the assignment.

Photographic Documentation

Images of significant visible conditions observed during the property review.

Condition Descriptions

Clear written descriptions explaining what was observed.

Maintenance Observations

Identification of visible deferred-maintenance or repair concerns where appropriate.

Further Evaluation

Recommendations for review by qualified specialists when conditions require expertise beyond the agreed inspection scope.

INSPECTION SCOPE MATTERS

The assignment should match the property and your objective.

Commercial property inspections are generally visual and non-destructive unless another scope is specifically agreed upon.

Important Scope Information

A commercial property inspection is not an engineering analysis, environmental assessment, appraisal, code-compliance certification, accessibility certification, warranty or guarantee of future performance. Specialized testing or evaluation by engineers, contractors, environmental professionals or other qualified specialists may be recommended when conditions fall outside the agreed inspection scope.

Better information can lead to better property decisions.

Tell us about the building, what you are trying to accomplish and any concerns you may already have. We can help determine an appropriate inspection scope for the property.
