Safety

Building interiors will also be scrutinized, with an inspector checking to see that all areas comply with local regulations and identifying any hazards or safety risks that pose threats to employees and customers alike. Should any hazards or dangers be discovered, renovations may be recommended in order to make the space safe for employees and customers alike. Catching problems early on could save costly repair and maintenance bills in the future while protecting its value while preventing penalties imposed against the property owner.
