Commercial vs. Residential Surveys: Revealing the Key Distinctions
Due to the varying purposes, size, complexity and considerations, there are some key differences between the surveys:
- Commercial surveys need to include compliance with commercial regulations and assessment of the property’s suitability for its intended use.
- Due to size difference, residential surveys are generally more straightforward, focusing on one main building. Commercial surveys may include multiple buildings or units, require evaluation of various systems, and may also need to cover aspects like parking lots, landscaping, HVAC systems, and elevators.
- Commercial properties are subject to more comprehensive and specific building codes and regulations.
- The primary consideration for residential surveys is the safety and comfort of the occupants, while commercial surveys need to consider the needs of both employees and customers, addressing aspects like accessibility, emergency exits, and adherence to health and safety regulations.
