This is your opportunity to hear what’s generating leads in different markets, which marketing strategies are delivering results, what client expectations have shifted, and where opportunities are emerging. Whether you’re looking to refine your approach or plan strategically for Q2 and beyond, this peer-to-peer discussion will help you better understand where the industry is heading.

This two-day field training provides hands-on experience inspecting a commercial building and writing a report. Most of the training is spent performing a walkthrough, during which you’ll learn how systems operate and assess the current property conditions.
Classroom time is held briefly at the beginning for drafting a price and proposal for this mock inspection, and again at the end to compile your findings into a final report.
Key Topics
This class offers some advanced training opportunities, but all experience levels will gain valuable understanding of how buildings are constructed, designed, and operated. Join us in Phoenix to:

Draft a price or proposal for the mock inspection that reflects the real cost of showing up, completing the inspection, writing the report (and getting paid well for it)
Inspect various areas, including service bays, warehouse areas, a mezzanine with a deli, and common areas
Gain insights into the building’s construction, systems, and common issues provided by the building engineer and operations managers
Collaborate with property managers and operations personnel to supplement your walk-through and understanding of the building
Inspect building systems while learning how they operate and assessing their condition, including the:

Roof, along with the cooling tower and chiller installed on it
Exterior walls, façade, and fenestration
Parking garage, site drainage, and topography
Electrical, mechanical, and plumbing rooms
Fire riser room and life safety features throughout the property
Building structure

By following the ComSOP and reviewing insights from pre-inspection conversations with key property decision-makers and operations staff, we’ll break down advanced systems and the intimidation factor of inspecting large or complex buildings.

Begin drafting your final report, with one-on-one instructor review available for final draft at later date

Who Should Attend
Ideal for inspectors at all experience levels who want to build confidence with commercial buildings and the variety of systems found in restaurants and mixed-use properties.

Together with the instructor, you’ll review real inspection leads and walk through, step by step, how to price and respond using proposal templates and presentation strategies that clearly communicate your value.
