Are commercial inspections as easy to perform and as profitable as some would lead you to believe? Yes and no! The following claims about commercial inspections are true: A commercial inspection lands about 40%-80% more money than a residential inspection for the same amount of time. A home inspection company that does commercial inspections is more respected than a company that does residential only. Commercial clients are typically more professional and “bottom line” oriented. However, a lot of planning is involved before promoting yourself as a commercial property inspector. There are significant differences between home inspections and commercial inspections. For starters, to what standard is the inspection (or Property Condition Assessment) carried out? How do I assess large, complex buildings without a staff of engineers? Who are my clients and when do they require my services? What type of report is required? Before you’ve decided it’s too complex to jump into this game, find out answers to these questions and more. This presentation offers a foundation for a home inspector’s evolution into commercial property condition assessments.
