What drives the price up or down
Square footage (#1 factor)
More square footage = more time on-site, more systems to evaluate, more documentation, longer report.
Building complexity
Number of HVAC zones, electrical sub-panels, tenants, separate floors, mechanical rooms. A 10,000 sq ft single-tenant office is much faster than a 10,000 sq ft 8-tenant retail center.
Building age
Older buildings = more findings to document, more potential issues to evaluate, often longer time on-site.
Scope of report
- Limited buyer-only commercial inspection — visual evaluation, key systems, basic report (lower cost)
- Full Property Condition Assessment (PCA) — ASTM E2018 standard, capital reserves table, lender-ready (higher cost)
PCA vs. commercial inspection guide.
