Commercial Services FAQs

Common Questions About Commercial Inspections, IAQ, SWPPP, and Consulting

What standards guide your commercial building inspections (PCAs)?

Our Commercial Property Condition Assessments (PCAs) align strictly with ASTM E2018 standards. We evaluate all primary physical components—including commercial roofing, structural framing, HVAC systems, electrical panels, plumbing infrastructure, ADA accessibility elements, and immediate vs. long-term capital needs.

How do pre-lease environmental inspections benefit commercial tenants and landlords?

In commercial double or triple net (NNN) leases—where lessees assume building maintenance burdens—a baseline inspection identifies existing structural or environmental defects before signing, preventing unexpected capital liabilities. For landlords, it establishes a documented condition baseline to enforce lease terms and protect property value.

When is a SWPPP or Construction Dewatering permit required?

A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is generally required for construction projects that disturb one or more acres of land, or smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development. Dewatering permits are required whenever groundwater or accumulated surface water is pumped and discharged into municipal storm drains or surface waters. We handle compliance for both ADEQ (Arizona) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (California).

What is tested during a Commercial IAQ and VOC Audit?

Our workplace indoor air quality (IAQ) evaluations measure a broad spectrum of parameters to safeguard occupant health. This typically includes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), chemical off-gassing from building materials, fine particulates (PM2.5/PM10), carbon dioxide (ventilation efficiency), carbon monoxide, and temperature/humidity logging.

Do you act as an Expert Witness in commercial landlord/tenant disputes?

Yes. We provide independent, neutral 3rd-party habitability audits and environmental testing for commercial property disputes. Because our team is led by board-certified public health and environmental scientists, our documentation and expert witness testimony hold up under rigorous legal and regulatory scrutiny.

What are the turnaround times for commercial inspection and testing reports?

Commercial visual inspection reports and PCAs are delivered within 24 to 48 hours of site visits. Specialized laboratory environmental testing (IAQ, VOCs, mold, water potability) typically yields certified analytical results within 3 to 5 business days, with expedited processing available upon request.

Where can I find information on Phase I and Phase II ESAs?

Because transactional due diligence is a highly specialized practice, we have dedicated an entire section of our firm to it. Please visit our Environmental Assessments page for full details on ASTM E1527-21 Phase I ESAs, Phase II subsurface testing, SBA SOP 50 10 8.1 environmental review support, and lender liability protections.
