Exterior building inspections are an essential part of maintaining commercial properties. These inspections help identify small issues before they become costly problems, ensuring safety, efficiency, and longevity for the property. At Crown Royalty Management - Property Services, we understand that proper inspections provide property owners and managers with critical insights to develop maintenance strategies, budget effectively, and make informed decisions about property upgrades.


Why Exterior Building Inspections Matter

Commercial properties are exposed to constant environmental factors—weather, wear and tear, and structural aging—that can lead to hidden damage and potential safety risks. A structured inspection can help:

  • Identify early signs of damage before they escalate into expensive repairs.

  • Ensure compliance with warranties, particularly for roofing and building envelopes.

  • Improve energy efficiency by detecting weak points in insulation, windows, and facades.

  • Reduce liability risks by addressing safety concerns, such as loose materials or leaks.


Missing necessary repairs can have serious consequences. A deteriorating facade, for example, can become a liability if falling debris causes injury or property damage.


What to Inspect in a Commercial Property

A comprehensive exterior building inspection should cover:


  • Roofs & Drainage Systems – Ensure the roof is in good condition and that drainage systems are clear to prevent leaks and water damage.

  • Building Facades & Windows – Check for cracks, loose materials, sealant failures, and insulation issues.

  • Walkways & Parking Lots – Inspect for cracks, potholes, and uneven pavement that can lead to safety hazards.

  • Lighting & Security Features – Confirm that exterior lighting is functional for both security and visibility.

DIY vs. Professional Inspections

While routine walkthroughs by property managers can help spot visible issues, some problems require expert evaluation. Property managers should look for:

  • Water leaks, condensation, or air drafts around windows and doors.

  • Visible cracks, deteriorating materials, or corrosion on building facades.

  • Roof wear, clogged drains, or pooling water.
