Commercial Due Diligence
Commercial Property Due Diligence Inspections in Phoenix, AZ
Clearer property intelligence for more informed investment decisions. We document a property’s observable physical condition so buyers, investors and lenders can evaluate risk, repairs and capital needs before closing.
Quick answer: A commercial due diligence inspection covers the physical condition part of due diligence. Patterson 360 evaluates accessible roofing, exterior, structure, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, interiors and site improvements, documents deficiencies with photos, and flags conditions needing specialist review. Pricing is proposal-based.
Due diligence can include financial analysis, legal review, title research, environmental investigation, lease review and zoning. A commercial property inspection addresses the physical condition component, because a property’s appearance, asking price or reported performance may not reflect its true condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a commercial due diligence inspection?
It evaluates the accessible physical condition of a building and its agreed systems, potentially including roofing, exterior components, structure-related observations, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, interiors and site improvements. The final scope depends on the property and inspection agreement.
Is a due diligence inspection the same as a Property Condition Assessment?
Not necessarily. Both address physical condition, but a formal PCA may require a specific standard, methodology or reporting format such as ASTM E2018. Confirm the required standard and deliverables before ordering.
When should I schedule a due diligence inspection?
Early in your due diligence period, so there is time to review the report, bring in specialists and address material concerns before contractual deadlines.
Can you inspect multifamily investment properties?
Yes. Scope, unit sampling, access and reporting expectations are agreed upon before scheduling.
Does the inspection include an environmental assessment?
No. Environmental Site Assessments, including Phase I ESAs, are separate services requiring appropriate qualifications and scope.
Can lenders use the inspection report?
A report may be useful during a lender’s review, but each lender sets its own standards and reporting requirements. Share those requirements before scheduling.
How much does a commercial due diligence inspection cost?
Pricing depends on property type, size, number of buildings, accessibility, complexity, required reporting and specialty services. Contact us for a scope-specific proposal.
