Commercial Inspection and Property Condition Assessment (PCA) Montreal
Commercial and mixed-use buildings — full technical assessment.
Whether you're buying, selling, financing, or managing a commercial, industrial, or multi-residential building with more than 6 units, a rigorous commercial inspection is essential to assess risks, budget for repairs, and secure your transaction.
At Radar Inspection, our property condition assessment (PCA) is performed according to the recognized ASTM E2018 framework, the North American reference standard for commercial building inspection.

Residential vs. Commercial Inspection: What's the Difference?
In Quebec, the new BNQ 3009-500 standard specifically governs the inspection of residential buildings (houses, condos, plexes of 1 to 6 units) for a real estate transaction. It does not apply to commercial buildings, industrial buildings, or large multi-residential buildings.
For this type of property, the industry instead relies on the ASTM E2018 standard, recognized by financial institutions, lenders, investors, and real estate asset managers throughout North America. It's the standard we use for every commercial inspection assignment.
Types of Buildings Covered
- Office buildings
- Multi-residential buildings with 7 or more units
- Commercial units and shopping centers
- Industrial buildings and warehouses
- Mixed-use buildings (residential/commercial)
- Institutional buildings
