Why choose CFBI for you commercial inspections?

Since 1988, CFBI has been the go-to authority for high-quality commercial real estate inspections.

Whether you’re purchasing an office building, leasing a retail space, or evaluating a warehouse or multi-family property, CFBI delivers the confidence you need to move forward.

A commercial inspection is more than a basic walkthrough—it’s your best line of defense against unexpected expenses and undisclosed issues. Our inspections identify defects, safety concerns, potential hazards, and major capital expenditures such as aging roofs or rooftop HVAC systems. With CFBI on your side, you gain the critical knowledge needed to negotiate from a position of strength. This is the true value of expert due diligence.

Due diligence can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the transaction, the age and type of building, its use, and location. That’s why partnering with an experienced inspection team is essential. While clients choose the specific services they need, the insight and guidance of a seasoned inspector can make all the difference. CFBI’s experts may perform a preliminary inspection, coordinate with specialized subcontractors, or consult with maintenance personnel to ensure nothing is overlooked.

When you choose CFBI, you’re not just getting an inspection—you’re securing a strategic advantage in your commercial real estate investment.

FAQs

Have questions about the commercial property inspection process?

Our FAQs cover everything you need to know before scheduling your commercial property inspection.

What is a commercial property inspection?

A commercial property inspection is a comprehensive assessment of a building’s structure, systems, and components, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and more, to identify issues or potential risks before a purchase, lease, or renovation.

How is a commercial inspection different from a residential inspection?

Commercial inspections are typically more complex, covering larger buildings, varied systems, and different building codes.

What types of commercial properties can be inspected?
CFBI’s commercial inspections cover office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, industrial buildings, apartment complexes, restaurants, medical offices, and more.
Are commercial inspectors licensed in Florida?

Yes. In Florida, inspectors must be licensed by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and often carry additional certifications (e.g., InterNACHI, ICC).

What does a typical inspection report include?
A report includes findings on the condition of the roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems, structural elements, fire safety systems, and exterior components. It often includes photos, summaries, and recommendations for repair or further evaluation.
How long does a commercial inspection take?
Depending on the size and complexity, inspections can take a few hours to several days. A small office may take half a day, while a large multi-unit complex may require a team and multiple days.
Are environmental hazards checked during the inspection?
Not always. Environmental issues such as asbestos, mold, radon, or lead paint may require separate environmental assessments or testing services.
Can a commercial inspection help with insurance or financing?
Yes. Many insurers and lenders require inspection reports to assess risk before issuing policies or loans.
Do I need to be present during the inspection?
It’s not required, but being present allows you to ask questions and better understand the findings in real time.
