Technical Inspection of Commercial Premises and Industrial Units
Renting or buying commercial premises involves major investments in fitting out and licences. At Hausum we inspect the technical condition, installations, ventilation, accessibility and structure before you sign.
- Chartered Architects specialising in commercial buildings and licences.
- Installation checks: heating and air conditioning, high-power electrics, plumbing and smoke extraction.
- Accessibility and fire protection checks: ramps, step-free routes for people with reduced mobility, emergency exits and fire resistance.
Are you about to rent or buy commercial premises? Avoid surprises with renovations and licences thanks to an independent technical report.
What we check in commercial premises or an office
Installations and smoke outlets
We check the condition of the fuse board, the installed power, the heating and air-conditioning system, smoke extraction and wastewater drainage.
Reduced-mobility access and fire protection
We check architectural barriers, ramp gradients, door widths, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting and evacuation routes.
Sound insulation and damp
Assessment of the sound attenuation required for the activity licence, and detection of damp in walls and ground-floor slabs.
Structure, façade and loads
Visual inspection of floor slabs, pillars and permitted imposed loads, and of the condition of shopfronts, security shutters and exterior signage.
