Commercial Property Inspections
Commercial Property Inspection Services in Alberta
When buying, leasing, or managing a commercial property, one thing matters most: clarity. Spot On provides detailed, professional commercial property inspection services across Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and surrounding Alberta communities.
Commercial properties are significant investments. Issues that go unnoticed during a purchase or lease can quickly turn into costly repairs, safety concerns, or operational disruptions. Our inspections are designed to uncover visible and concealed concerns early—so owners, investors, and property managers can make informed, confident decisions.
With 1,100+ inspections completed, Alberta-focused expertise, and technology-driven assessments, Spot On delivers inspections you can rely on.
Why Commercial Property Inspections Matter in Alberta
Alberta’s climate, construction methods, and freeze–thaw cycles place unique stress on commercial buildings. From retail plazas and office buildings to warehouses and mixed-use developments, every property contains systems that age and perform differently under Alberta conditions.
Skipping a professional inspection can lead to: - Structural issues that worsen over time - HVAC inefficiencies and increased operating costs - Electrical safety hazards and code concerns - Roofing deterioration due to freeze–thaw cycles - Plumbing and drainage failures in aging systems - Insurance, occupancy, or compliance issues
A commercial inspection provides a clear understanding of the property’s current condition—helping you plan repairs, negotiate pricing, and reduce long-term risk.

What Our Commercial Inspections Include
1. Exterior & Structural Assessment
We evaluate the overall structure and exterior components of the building, including: - Foundation condition and visible movement - Exterior walls, cladding, and finishes - Rooflines, drainage, and grading - Parking areas, walkways, and site drainage
This assessment helps identify structural concerns and long-term maintenance needs.
2. Roofing & Insulation
Commercial roofing systems require specialized attention. Our inspection covers: - Roofing materials (EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, and similar systems) - Flashing, penetrations, and seal integrity - Signs of leaks, ponding, sagging, or deterioration - Insulation performance and heat loss - Thermal imaging to identify insulation gaps and moisture concerns
Roof performance is especially critical in Alberta’s climate, where freeze–thaw cycles can accelerate damage.
3. Mechanical & HVAC Systems
We assess visible and accessible components of mechanical systems, including: - Heating and cooling equipment - Ventilation systems - Operational condition and maintenance concerns - Indicators of inefficiency or premature wear
HVAC performance directly affects occupant comfort, operating costs, and long-term reliability.
4. Electrical Systems
Our inspection includes a review of: - Electrical panels and visible wiring - Distribution systems and safety components - Signs of overheating, improper connections, or hazards - General compliance and safety observations
Electrical issues can present serious safety and operational risks if left unaddressed.
We inspect plumbing systems for: - Water supply and drainage performance - Signs of leakage or moisture intrusion - Drainage systems and basement sump pumps (where applicable) - Potential water damage risks Water-related issues can be costly and disruptive, making early detection critical.
5. Plumbing & Drainage
6. Interior Spaces & Safety
Interior assessments focus on: - Floors, walls, and ceilings - Fire separation and visible safety elements - Stairways, handrails, and common areas - General functionality and condition of interior spaces This ensures the property supports safe occupancy and day-to-day operations.
Advanced Inspection Tools
Spot On uses modern tools to enhance inspection accuracy, including: - Thermal imaging for moisture, insulation gaps, and electrical hotspots - Roof and exterior drone inspections (where conditions allow) - Hygrometers, thermometers, and digital measuring instruments These tools allow us to identify issues that may not be visible through standard visual inspections alone.
