Commercial Inspections Group is Phoenix's dedicated commercial property inspection firm. We inspect income-producing assets — and deliver investor-ready reports that tell you exactly what you're buying, what it will cost to fix, and what to negotiate.
ASTM E2018-24 Compliant · 48-Hour Delivery · CapEx Forecasting Included
Here's what most people don't know: there is no state license required to call yourself a commercial building inspector in Arizona. That puts the onus on you to verify commercial-specific credentials — CCPIA certification, ASTM E2018-24 compliance, and a report format built for investors and lenders.
Commercial due diligence is a distinct discipline. It means assessing three-phase electrical capacity for a planned tenant buildout, reading a rooftop package unit's remaining useful life against Phoenix operating hours, and producing the ASTM E2018-compliant Property Condition Report your lender requires.
We can. Because commercial is all we do.
Commercial real estate transactions move fast. Due diligence windows are tight. And in Phoenix — where HVAC systems run 3,000–4,000 more hours per year than anywhere else in the country, where UV intensity destroys roofing membranes faster than any other U.S. market, and where a wave of 1980s–2005-era buildings are hitting the market — what you don't know absolutely will cost you.
Model your true cost of ownership.
Estimated Remaining Useful Life — plan replacements 5 & 10 years out.
Walk into negotiations with objective data.

No two commercial transactions are alike. A retail strip center has completely different due diligence needs than a 50,000 SF warehouse or an owner-occupied office suite. Rather than charging you for services you don't need, we start with our foundational Commercial Building Inspection and let you customize with target add-ons.

Phoenix commercial HVAC systems run 3,000–4,000 more hours per year than comparable buildings in cooler climates. A unit that lasts 18 years in Denver lasts 10–15 here. We assess every rooftop package unit for age, make, model, service history, and visible condition — and translate findings into a replacement cost and timeline you can budget around.
A 12-year-old TPO membrane in Phoenix has absorbed more UV stress than a 20-year-old membrane in the Midwest. We inspect all flat and low-slope systems with Phoenix-specific degradation benchmarks — with drone documentation and roof core sampling available.
Many Phoenix commercial buildings built before 2000 have electrical service capacity that cannot support modern tenant buildout demands. We assess main service entrance, distribution panels, and emergency lighting — so you know before you sign, not after.
58% of commercial assets built before 1995 carry significant accessibility gaps — and that describes most of Phoenix's 1980s–2000s building stock. We include an ADA general compliance observation in every inspection, because those findings are frequently your most powerful negotiation lever.
Phoenix's collapsible and expansive desert soils — including caliche — drive foundation movement that out-of-state checklists aren't built to flag. We visually assess site grading, surface drainage, and signs of foundation distress — the conditions every monsoon season stress-tests.

In Phoenix, commercial HVAC isn't a maintenance line item — it's the single biggest CapEx risk on most properties. Here's why the numbers look different in the desert, and how to underwrite it correctly.
