Professional Commercial Inspections for Office, Clinic, and Medical Facilities

Office and medical buildings present operational, safety, and liability considerations that differ significantly from residential properties. At Upchurch Inspection, we provide professional Office & Medical Building Inspections designed to give owners, buyers, investors, and lenders a clear understanding of the observable condition of professional office and healthcare-related facilities.

Our commercial inspections focus on identifying material conditions, deferred maintenance, and functional concerns that may affect building performance, occupant safety, and long-term ownership decisions—without overstating scope or crossing into engineering or code enforcement.

What are Office & Medical Building Inspections ?

doctors office

An Office & Medical Building Inspection is a commercial-grade inspection of properties used for professional services, administrative operations, or outpatient medical care.

This may include:

  • Professional office buildings

  • Medical office buildings

  • Clinics and outpatient facilities

  • Mixed-use office or medical spaces

These inspections are performed using commercial inspection methodologies and standards, with an emphasis on shared building systems, occupant use patterns, and observable conditions that may impact operations or risk exposure.

The goal is to provide clear, decision-support information—not assumptions—about the property’s condition at the time of inspection.

How Office & Medical Building Inspections Differ from Residential Inspections

Office and medical facilities are inspected differently than residential properties due to their use, occupancy, and building systems.

Key differences include:

  • Higher occupancy and use intensity — systems supporting multiple occupants daily

  • Specialized spaces — exam rooms, offices, treatment areas, and support spaces

  • Life-safety considerations — observable egress, alarms, and separation features

  • Mechanical system demands — HVAC systems designed for extended use and zoning

  • Operational continuity concerns — minimizing disruption during inspection

These inspections are designed to support acquisition, ownership, and risk-management decisions, not to function as code compliance or engineering evaluations.

What the Inspection Typically Covers

An office or medical building inspection generally includes visual evaluation of the following observable components:

  • Structure & Foundation (visible components only)

  • Roof Systems

  • Exterior Walls, Doors, and Windows

  • Interior Spaces & Finishes (offices, corridors, common areas)

  • Electrical Systems (service equipment, panels, representative branch components)

  • Plumbing Systems (visible supply, drain, fixtures, and common piping)

  • HVAC Systems (central and zoned systems where accessible)

  • Life-Safety Observations (egress visibility, alarms where present, separation features)

The inspection is limited to visible and accessible areas and does not include destructive testing, invasive investigation, or code enforcement.

Sampling Methodology

Due to property size, layout, and occupancy, inspections of office and medical buildings typically rely on representative sampling.

Sampling may include:

  • Representative suites or tenant spaces

  • Common corridors and shared areas

  • Mechanical and utility rooms

  • Exterior elevations and roof areas

Sampling scope is discussed and agreed upon prior to inspection to ensure clarity and alignment with client objectives.

What You'll Receive

Following the inspection, clients receive:

  • A Commercial Office or Medical Building Inspection Report

  • Narrative descriptions of observed conditions

  • Photo documentation of material findings

  • Identification of significant defects and maintenance concerns

  • Clear explanations of inspection scope and limitations

Reports are written for owners, buyers, lenders, and stakeholders who need clarity—not technical overload.
