A condo is not a smaller house — it's a different inspection. Your unit's electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling are yours, but the building envelope, roof, parkade and mechanical room are shared, and their condition determines your future special assessments. A HomeWise condo inspection covers the full in-suite systems plus every visible common element we can access, and we can review your condo documents for reserve fund health and red flags. From Beltline towers to townhouse complexes in Tuscany and newer builds in Seton, we inspect condos across Calgary with same-day digital reports.

Common elements matter
We note the visible condition of the building envelope, balconies, parkade membrane, roofing and mechanical rooms — the components that drive condo fees and special assessments.
Condo document review
On request we review reserve fund studies, engineering reports, meeting minutes and bylaws, flagging underfunded reserves, pending special assessments and building envelope litigation.
Calgary condo realities
Post-tension slabs in downtown towers, aging stucco envelopes in 1990s walk-ups, and polybutylene in-suite plumbing in 1985–1997 buildings are all common findings we know how to identify and explain.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a condo inspection cost in Calgary?›
Condo and townhome inspections start at $375 + GST, adjusted for size. That includes the full in-suite inspection, visible common elements and a same-day digital report.
Do I really need an inspection on a condo?›
Yes. In-suite plumbing leaks, faulty electrical, failing fan coils and window seal failures are all common — and the inspection plus a document review tells you about building-wide problems that hit your wallet through special assessments.
What's the difference between an apartment and townhouse condo inspection?›
Townhouse condos often have private roofs, foundations and exterior walls that we inspect fully. Apartment condos focus on in-suite systems plus visible common areas. Both are priced in the condo tier.
Do you review condo documents?›
Yes, on request. We review the reserve fund study, engineering reports, minutes and bylaws and flag financial and building-envelope concerns in plain language.
How long does a condo inspection take?›
Typically 1.5–2.5 hours depending on the unit size and building access. You're welcome to attend.
When will I get the report?›
Same day — a digital report with photos and prioritized findings you can forward straight to your realtor.
