A guide to organizing inspections, priorities and preventive activities in commercial and corporate properties. This information is general guidance and does not replace a technical property inspection.

Inventory of areas and systems

Roofs, facades, lighting, HVAC, finishes and wet areas should be identified.

Risk-based frequencies

Not every area needs the same frequency; exposure and criticality set priorities.

Finding records

Photos, date, location and recommended action help track recurring issues.

Preventive budgeting

Addressing small deterioration is usually more manageable than accumulating urgent repairs.
