Commercial buildings require more than a standard checklist. Upchurch Inspection provides commercial property inspections and commercial Property Condition Assessments for buyers, investors, trustees, lenders, attorneys, and property owners who need clear documentation of visible building conditions, deferred maintenance, and major system risk.
Our commercial assessment process draws on a multidisciplinary team with experience in property inspection, commercial roofing, electrical systems, site conditions, construction, safety, aerial imaging, and project coordination. When a property requires deeper technical review, we can help coordinate appropriate specialist involvement, including licensed engineering review where separately required.
Our goal is simple: help commercial clients understand physical risk before that risk becomes financial liability.

Upchurch Inspection takes a practical, risk-focused approach to commercial real estate due diligence. Our commercial assessments are designed to help clients understand building condition, deferred maintenance, specialist follow-up needs, and potential capital-risk concerns before closing or major investment.
Our team includes professionals with experience in inspection, construction, roofing, electrical systems, site conditions, safety, regulatory compliance, aerial imaging, operations, and project coordination. For complex properties, we can help coordinate additional review by qualified contractors, engineers, or other specialists as appropriate to the scope. Team involvement is determined by the property type, scope of work, access, client needs, and due diligence timeline.
For clients who need a more formal commercial due diligence product, Upchurch Inspection can provide Property Condition Assessments scoped around ASTM E2018-24 baseline PCA methodology. Scope, limitations, specialist involvement, and cost opinions are defined by the engagement.
Commercial buildings are not all the same. A warehouse, church campus, multifamily building, medical office, retail space, and industrial property each carry different risks. Our role is to help identify visible concerns, document limitations, and give decision-makers a clearer picture of the property before they commit capital.
If you are evaluating a commercial building, church campus, multifamily property, warehouse, industrial asset, or lender-involved transaction, our team can help determine the appropriate inspection scope before the due diligence period expires.

Wesley Upchurch is the principal consultant and lead inspector for Upchurch Inspection, LLC. He oversees commercial inspection operations across the Mid-South and leads the firm’s commercial due diligence and Property Condition Assessment work.Wesley is a Certified Commercial Property Inspector through CCPIA and an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector. His background in inspection, commercial property assessment, reporting, and regional building-condition research gives clients a practical view of how commercial buildings actually age in the Mid-South.His work focuses on visible building conditions, deferred maintenance, capital-risk concerns, major system documentation, and clear reporting for buyers, investors, trustees, lenders, attorneys, and property owners. Wesley’s role is to help clients understand not only what was observed, but why it may matter during the transaction.

Peter Bruce provides commercial assessment support with a strong background in code enforcement, construction technology, construction materials, and technical services.His experience includes municipal code enforcement and construction-related technical work, giving the team additional perspective on building standards, construction practices, repair history, and visible compliance-related concerns. Peter’s background is especially useful when evaluating commercial properties where prior alterations, repairs, material performance, or building-use changes may affect the due diligence conversation.Peter’s role is not to replace a formal code inspection, engineering review, or authority-having-jurisdiction determination. Instead, he helps bring a regulatory and construction-technology perspective to the assessment process when conditions warrant deeper review.

Brady Daniel supports commercial assessments with experience in civil infrastructure, land development, site conditions, construction, electrical, plumbing, and field operations.His background is especially useful for evaluating commercial properties where site drainage, grading, access, utilities, land development history, pavement conditions, and infrastructure concerns may affect the property’s usefulness or future cost. For warehouses, industrial properties, churches, campuses, and larger commercial sites, these site-level conditions can be just as important as the building itself.Brady’s role is to help identify visible site and infrastructure concerns that may require further review by contractors, surveyors, engineers, or other qualified professionals, depending on the property and scope.

Ronald Upchurch brings more than four decades of roofing and construction experience to the commercial assessment team.His background provides practical field perspective on roof condition, drainage concerns, flashing details, prior repairs, membrane wear, roof penetrations, and long-term maintenance issues. Commercial roof systems are often one of the largest capital risks in a transaction, and Ron’s experience helps the team better recognize roof-related concerns that may require further review by a commercial roofing contractor.His role is to provide roofing insight as part of the broader commercial due diligence process. Roof certifications, design opinions, warranty determinations, and contractor pricing are provided separately when specifically engaged through the appropriate qualified professional.


Dylan Holker supports commercial and industrial assessments with a background in safety, field logistics, heavy equipment environments, mining-related safety training, and insurance-related documentation.His experience is especially useful on larger commercial and industrial properties where access, safety, site logistics, equipment areas, exterior conditions, and risk documentation matter. Dylan also brings familiarity with insurance-related estimating and documentation workflows, which can help clients better understand how visible conditions may translate into repair conversations or risk-management concerns.Dylan’s role is to support field safety, documentation, and risk observation during commercial assessments. His work helps ensure that complex properties are approached in an organized and safety-conscious manner.


Sam Lanier brings a trade background in electrical systems along with inspection experience to the commercial assessment team.Based in the firm’s Missouri operations, Sam provides additional support on commercial properties where electrical service, panels, disconnects, equipment wiring, visible electrical defects, or future-use concerns may be material to the due diligence process.Commercial electrical systems can affect safety, operating costs, tenant use, equipment needs, and future renovation plans. Sam’s background helps the team better identify visible electrical concerns that may warrant further evaluation by a licensed electrical contractor or engineer.His role does not replace an electrical engineering study, load calculation, or full contractor evaluation unless separately scoped through the appropriate qualified professional.

Ray Scheri leads aerial imaging support for commercial inspections and property assessments. As an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot, Ray provides drone-based visual documentation of roofs, building exteriors, large sites, drainage areas, parking lots, and other locations that may be difficult or unsafe to view from the ground.Aerial imaging can be especially useful on commercial roofs, large campuses, industrial sites, warehouses, and properties with significant exterior or site conditions. Drone documentation does not replace physical roof access, specialist evaluation, or contractor assessment, but it can provide valuable visual evidence and help identify areas that may require closer review.Ray’s role is to support the inspection team with safe, high-quality aerial documentation when site conditions, weather, access, and scope allow.

Holly Upchurch manages scheduling, project coordination, client communication, and operational support for Upchurch Inspection’s commercial work.For larger commercial inspections, portfolio reviews, church and campus assessments, and multi-party due diligence projects, coordination matters. Holly helps keep inspection timelines organized, communicates with clients and stakeholders, supports document flow, and helps ensure that reports, access needs, specialist coordination, and scheduling details are handled efficiently.Her role is especially important when the client is working under a due diligence deadline and multiple decision-makers, brokers, property representatives, or specialists are involved.
Some commercial properties require review beyond the scope of a general commercial inspection or baseline Property Condition Assessment.
When deeper technical evaluation is appropriate, Upchurch Inspection can help coordinate with qualified contractors, licensed engineers, roofing professionals, HVAC contractors, electricians, plumbers, sewer-scope providers, environmental professionals, fire-protection specialists, or other consultants depending on the property and the client’s needs.
For complex industrial assets, structural concerns, seismic questions, MEP issues, or other engineering-level matters, engineering services are provided separately by licensed engineering professionals. Upchurch Inspection can help identify when specialist review may be appropriate, but we do not represent a general commercial inspection as a substitute for engineering, code compliance, environmental, fire/life-safety, ADA, or contractor-specific evaluation.
This approach gives commercial clients a practical path: start with visible-condition due diligence, then escalate to the right specialist when the property demands it.
