Comprehensive Commercial Building Inspections in Austin, TX and Surrounding Areas
COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTIONS
When it comes to protecting your investment in commercial real estate, knowledge is power. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, lender, or developer, understanding the true condition of a commercial property can make or break a deal. That’s why we offer detailed, reliable commercial building inspections throughout Round Rock, TX and the surrounding areas.
We specialize in inspecting a wide variety of commercial properties, including mixed-use buildings, warehouses, new and existing condominium structures, hotels up to five stories tall, and restaurants. We also provide thorough bank draw inspections for ongoing construction projects, helping lenders stay informed and clients stay on track.
Know Your Building
Why Commercial Inspections Matter
A commercial building inspection isn’t just a formality—it’s a critical step in your due diligence process. Unlike residential inspections, commercial property evaluations require a deeper understanding of structural systems, code compliance, accessibility (ADA), fire safety, HVAC capacity, roofing, parking structures, and other vital infrastructure.
Whether you’re looking to purchase, lease, refinance, or renovate, our inspections are tailored to uncover potential concerns and provide actionable insights. Every property is unique, and we adapt our approach accordingly to provide you with accurate, easy-to-understand findings in a clear, timely report.
Types of Commercial Properties We Inspect
Mixed-Use Properties
In Round Rock and surrounding towns, many older homes and structures have been repurposed as commercial spaces with residential units above or attached. These properties present unique challenges due to their hybrid usage, aging infrastructure, and zoning changes over time. We understand how to inspect both the residential and commercial aspects of these buildings, from outdated electrical systems and plumbing to modified fire separations and egress compliance.
Warehouses
We inspect everything from small-scale storage facilities to larger light-industrial buildings. Our inspections focus on structural integrity, roofing systems (including low-slope and metal roofs), overhead doors, loading docks, sprinkler systems, electrical panels, lighting, and slab conditions. We also examine ventilation and fire safety systems, which are critical in a warehouse environment.
New Construction Condos
We work with builders, developers, and real estate investors to provide comprehensive inspections of new construction condominiums. Our inspections go beyond surface-level finishes, diving into structural framing, insulation, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. We verify compliance with current codes and ensure everything is functioning as intended before project turnover or occupancy.
Existing Condos
For established condominium complexes, we perform both individual unit inspections and broader evaluations of shared infrastructure, such as roofing, siding, stairwells, balconies, and mechanical rooms. We assess the overall condition of the building envelope, look for water intrusion, and identify deferred maintenance issues that may impact HOA budgets or investor decisions.
Hotels (Up to 5 Stories)
We commonly inspect limited-service hotel structures such as Holiday Inn-style buildings. These inspections involve evaluating guest rooms, common areas, roof systems, HVAC units, commercial kitchens (if present), laundry facilities, and exterior elements like parking lots, sidewalks, and landscaping drainage. Our team understands hospitality-specific needs and ensures all major systems are inspected for safety, performance, and efficiency.
Restaurants
Restaurant buildings are among the most complex commercial inspections due to the presence of commercial kitchens, grease traps, exhaust hoods, walk-in coolers, fire suppression systems, and specialized plumbing and electrical. We provide a deep dive into both the front and back of house, assessing compliance with health and fire codes as well as mechanical and structural integrity.

Bank Draw Inspections & Construction Progress Monitoring
In addition to standard commercial inspections, we also offer Bank Draw Inspections—a crucial service for lenders, developers, and construction managers. As part of the construction financing process, banks often require third-party verification that specific milestones have been met before releasing the next draw or installment of funds.
Our role is to visit the site, review the current phase of construction, and provide an objective, detailed report outlining what has been completed relative to the draw request. We verify:
-
Percentage of work completed per trade (e.g., framing, plumbing, roofing)
-
Stored materials on-site
-
General project conditions
-
Compliance with schedule
-
Change orders or visible deviations from plans
These inspections are not just about protecting the bank’s interest—they also help keep projects moving forward smoothly and ensure funds are being used appropriately. Delays, disputes, and overpayments can be costly; our bank draw inspections bring transparency and accountability to the construction process.
