Building Inspections

Commercial Building Condition Assessments

At Okanagan Commercial Inspections, we provide independent, standards-driven assessments of commercial buildings across the Okanagan and Interior British Columbia.

Our work supports buyers, owners, investors, institutions, and consultant teams by delivering clear documentation of observed conditions, system performance considerations, and capital planning inputs — without unnecessary complexity or overreach.

Assessments are non-invasive and completed in general accordance with ASTM E2018-15, with reporting structured to support informed decision-making at both operational and strategic levels.

What Sets Us Apart

Commercial-Only Focus

Our practice is dedicated exclusively to commercial and multi-unit assets. We do not provide residential inspections under our commercial brand, allowing our scope, reporting, and methodology to remain aligned with commercial expectations.

Standards-Driven, Regionally Informed

We combine nationally recognized assessment standards with a practical understanding of regional construction practices, climate conditions, and building stock common throughout Interior BC.

Clear Scope, Clear Deliverables

Our role is clearly defined. We document observed conditions, identify deficiencies, and provide lifecycle and capital planning considerations — without providing engineering design, code compliance certification, or speculative conclusions.

Coordinated Specialty Input

Where appropriate, we coordinate independent specialty reviews (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, gas, roofing, environmental) to support broader assessment objectives. All specialty consultants operate within their own professional scopes.

Reporting Built for Decision-Makers

Deliverables are structured, visual, and easy to interpret — supporting owners, investors, and project teams with practical information that can be acted on efficiently.
