Professional Commercial Inspections for Churches, Schools, and Community Facilities
Churches and non-profit facilities often serve large groups of people and operate within aging or uniquely constructed buildings. At Upchurch Inspection, we provide professional Church & Non-Profit Facility Inspections designed to give boards, leadership teams, buyers, lenders, and administrators a clear understanding of the observable condition of religious, educational, and community-use properties.
Our commercial inspections focus on identifying material conditions, deferred maintenance, and functional concerns that may impact safety, usability, and long-term stewardship—without overstating scope or crossing into engineering or code enforcement.

What Is a Church or Non-Profit Inspection ?
A Church & Non-Profit Facility Inspection is a commercial-grade inspection of properties used for religious worship, education, or community services.
This may include:
Churches and religious facilities
Private or non-profit schools
Community centers and meeting halls
Fellowship buildings and support facilities
These inspections are performed using commercial inspection methodologies and standards, with an emphasis on large assembly spaces, shared building systems, and observable conditions affecting occupant safety and building performance.
How Church and Non-Profit Inspections Differ from Residential Inspections
What the Inspection Typically Covers
A church or non-profit facility 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 (sanctuaries, classrooms, offices, common areas)
Electrical Systems (service equipment, panels, representative components)
Plumbing Systems (visible supply, drain, and fixtures)
HVAC Systems (central or zoned systems where accessible)
Life-Safety Observations (egress visibility, alarms where present)
Site Features (parking areas, walkways, exterior lighting, drainage)
The inspection is limited to visible and accessible areas and does not include destructive testing, invasive investigation, or code enforcement.
Sampling Methodology
Due to building size, layout, and occupancy, church and non-profit inspections typically rely on representative sampling.
Sampling may include:
Representative classrooms or offices
Assembly spaces and common areas
Mechanical and utility rooms
Roof areas and exterior elevations
Sampling scope is discussed and agreed upon prior to inspection to ensure clarity and alignment with leadership or client objectives.
