Just as you wouldn’t build a skyscraper on a house foundation, you shouldn’t use a home inspector for an apartment building.

Sure, a few very small commercial jobs are basically home inspections. The condo office complex would be an example. As size and complexity change, home inspection training isn’t sufficient to do the job.

As an example, inspectors do not learn how to properly inspect a commercial roofing system by inspecting residential roofs. They need to be professionally trained and certified for commercial roofing. The HAAG Engineering certification is the industry standard. A to Z Inspections has this certification.
