Description

This two-day, in-person class will help you take your commercial property inspection business to the next level. In a series of lectures and class discussions, students will learn about cost estimating and reporting through a deeper understanding of building maintenance. The student will walk away with a trained eye for identifying and communicating property conditions and the recommended methods for dealing with them. This class aims to help commercial property inspectors be both an immediate and ongoing asset to their clients by assisting them in planning sound capital management of their property assets. Cost estimating and a knowledge of building maintenance are great value-adds to your existing inspection services, as well as a powerful pathway to long-term client retention. Prior commercial property inspection experience is recommended. This class will focus on and hone the commercial property inspector’s skills through two main topics: cost estimating and building maintenance, and building systems and applications. Cost Estimating and Building Maintenance This first session will familiarize the student with practical methods for cost estimating and reporting on maintenance and repair issues. These methods help students go beyond defect recognition, applying them to their client’s transaction viability, capital management, and value preservation of a building. We will also review how to market your cost-estimating services and building maintenance expertise to gain clients and repeat business. Additional topics include reactive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and cost differentials. Note: Cost estimating is also referred to as “cost to cure” and “opinions of probable costs.” Building System and Component Applications This second session takes a look at common material defects and maintenance issues for the property grounds, exterior, roof, structure, plumbing, HVAC, and interior, in addition to specific building types, such as public access buildings, manufacturing facilities, multi-family properties, hotels and motels, newer buildings, older buildings, etc. This session will prepare the student for a variety of situations and conditions in found during a commercial inspection.
