Question 1

What does a commercial inspection in Beaverton include?

Accepted Answer

Our commercial inspection in Beaverton is a comprehensive assessment of all major building systems: structural components and foundation, roofing and drainage, HVAC (including rooftop units, boilers, and chillers), three-phase electrical service and distribution panels, commercial plumbing, fire protection and suppression systems, parking lot and loading dock condition, exterior cladding, AODA accessibility compliance observations, and visible environmental concerns such as mold or suspected asbestos-containing materials. You receive a written report with photos, priority ratings, and a 20-year capital expenditure forecast — the documentation investors and lenders require.

Question 2

Do you inspect multi-unit residential buildings in Beaverton?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ASADS inspects duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and larger multi-unit residential properties throughout Beaverton and Ontario. Our multi-unit inspection covers each individual unit as well as all common areas, mechanical rooms, shared HVAC systems, electrical distribution, fire separation between units, egress compliance, and building envelope. Investors purchasing income properties in Beaverton rely on our CapEx reports to accurately project maintenance costs and plan capital reserves — essential for financing and underwriting decisions.

Question 3

What types of commercial properties do you inspect?

Accepted Answer

ASADS inspects a broad range of commercial properties in Beaverton: strip malls and retail plazas, office buildings (single-tenant and multi-tenant), light industrial and warehouse units, mixed-use residential-commercial buildings, auto repair facilities, restaurants, and multi-unit residential buildings. Each property type has distinct risk profiles — rooftop HVAC in retail plazas, three-phase electrical in industrial units, grease trap and exhaust systems in restaurants. Our inspectors have experience across all commercial property types common in Beaverton and the surrounding Ontario market.

Question 4

How long does a commercial inspection take?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial inspections in Beaverton take 3–6 hours. A small retail unit or standalone building under 5,000 sq ft typically runs 3 hours. A retail plaza, office building, or industrial unit in the 10,000–30,000 sq ft range requires 4–6 hours. Properties over 30,000 sq ft or those with complex mechanical, fire suppression, or environmental systems may require a second visit or a second inspector. We scope every commercial inspection individually — contact us with your property details and we will provide an accurate time and fee estimate.

Question 5

Do you provide environmental assessments with commercial inspections?

Accepted Answer

Our commercial inspection includes visual identification of environmental concerns — suspect asbestos-containing materials, mold indicators, and visible contamination — documented in the report. For regulatory compliance prior to renovation or demolition of a Beaverton building, we also offer a standalone Designated Substance Survey (DSS) under O.Reg 278/05 covering all 11 Ontario designated substances. Full Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) can be coordinated as add-ons. Contact us to discuss the appropriate environmental scope for your Beaverton commercial transaction.
