Historic and downtown buildings
We document visible roof wear, moisture intrusion, masonry and wood deterioration, and the condition of renovated systems, and recommend further evaluation where needed.

Commercial Building Inspections & PCAs in Pensacola, FL
Commercial inspections and ASTM-scoped Property Condition Assessments in Pensacola. Get photo-supported findings on a historic downtown building, medical office, retail center, apartment property, or industrial building before you buy, finance, or lease.
Historic downtown, medical corridors, and working waterfront
Pensacola’s commercial stock ranges from historic brick buildings along Palafox Street and downtown to medical offices around the city’s hospital campuses, suburban retail along the 9th Avenue and Davis Highway corridors, waterfront and port-related industrial space, and beach hospitality on Pensacola Beach. Older downtown buildings and newer suburban ones need very different attention.
Medical offices and professional buildings
Coordinate access around patient schedules. Specialty medical systems, imaging shielding, and medical gas are separate evaluations.
Industrial and waterfront buildings
Discuss roof systems, overhead doors, slab and drainage, and electrical service. Marine structures and specialized equipment are scoped separately.
Add aerial imagery where roofs are large or hard to reach
Large roofs, multi-building sites, and construction projects can be hard to document from the ground. Drone imagery can be added to an inspection or provided as a separate documentation service.
Define the views you need
Tell us which roofs, elevations, or site areas matter and how the imagery will be used.
Plan for flight conditions
Weather, airspace, and site conditions affect what can be flown on a given day; Pensacola has nearby military and commercial airspace that is confirmed during planning.
Pair imagery with findings
Aerial documentation supports the inspection but does not by itself establish structural integrity or equipment performance.
Choose the right inspection for your decision
Scope 1 — Focused Systems Review
Answers a defined question about selected building systems. Useful when you need a limited review rather than a property-wide assessment.
Scope 2 — Standard Commercial Inspection
Documents observed conditions in the agreed accessible areas and building systems, with photographs, limitations, and recommendations.
Scope 3 — Inspection + Five-Year Capital Planning
Adds immediate repair-cost opinions and a five-year capital reserve outlook to the commercial inspection, helping you plan ownership expenses.
Scope 4 — Property Condition Assessment
Provides a detailed PCA and Property Condition Report with research and a ten-year planning outlook, as specified in your agreement.
Do you need an ASTM E2018-24 PCA?
An ASTM E2018-24 Property Condition Assessment combines a walk-through survey with document review, interviews, and research to identify material physical deficiencies. The resulting Property Condition Report communicates findings and opinions of costs for suggested remedies. For your Pensacola assignment, the proposal defines the research, access, cost-planning period, and reporting requirements.
Send any lender requirements before selecting a scope so we can confirm whether the requested assessment, report format, and reliance terms can be met. A focused inspection is not a substitute for a full PCA. Phase I environmental assessments are separately scoped and quoted; High Mark coordinates fieldwork with the environmental consultant who prepares the environmental report.

Your report organizes observed conditions, supporting photographs, access limitations, and recommendations. Use it to prepare repair questions, discuss findings with the seller or property team, and arrange further evaluation. Cost opinions and reserve planning are included when specified in the selected scope; they are planning tools, not contractor bids.
Most commercial inspection reports are delivered within 3–5 business days after inspection. Detailed PCAs, larger properties, research, and cost planning may take longer. Your proposal confirms the anticipated delivery date, so share your due diligence deadline before scheduling.
