Apartment on top, bar and restaurant in the middle, basement below. Classic mixed-use. Join us to inspect your neighborhood sports bar.
During this one-day field training, you’ll gain hands-on experience inspecting a mixed-use building. This begins as the bread-and-butter inspection for most commercial property inspectors. After a few, it becomes second nature and a reliable revenue stream when you’re charging commercial-level fees.
You’ll complete the full inspection process, practicing each step of a professional workflow. We’ll start with a real-world scenario: the client call, the property research, setting a fee, and drafting a proposal that reflects the true value of your expertise. Then, you’ll gain hands-on experience inspecting the property inside and out.
What to Expect On-Site

Work through the client intake process, including a mock client call and creating an inspection fee and proposal
Identify property conditions, discuss approaches, and understand buildings and their systems in real-time with the instructor
See firsthand common issues in commercial building systems
Key considerations when booking restaurant and mixed-use property inspections
Inspect hood systems, exhaust ventilation, and other cooking area elements
Inspect plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and roofing systems
Inspect building structure and balcony
Inspect exterior and shared elements affecting both the commercial space and upstairs apartment (life safety, fire safety elements, safe egress, drainage, etc.)
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. You’ll go behind the scenes of an operating sports bar to see firsthand the inspection points that matter most, and what your clients need to know when buying or leasing one.

Introduction to Multi-Family Housing Inspections for Commercial Inspectors Workshop Summary
CE Credit Hours: TREC-Approved for 2 Hours of Continuing Education Credit
Course Number: 50854

This type of property is a great stepping-stone for residential inspectors getting into the commercial sector.
We’ll review processes and procedures for devising an organized plan. Many of these buildings have similar systems, like the HVAC and electrical, so organization is vital. We’ll perform a mock inspection and review an actual inspection report.

Want to inspect a 12-story office building with us? From the building envelope to the systems and components that keep operations running and safe, you’ll complete the full inspection and report. 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

Your inspection report is the final deliverable that defines your professional value, and choosing the right platform can streamline your workflow and increase client confidence. As an early adopter of the ComSOP forward inspection report format, ScribeWare has developed templates that closely adhere to ComSOP standards, helping inspectors produce reliable reports their clients can trust. Bring your questions about reporting software, report writing efficiency, and transitioning to platforms that better meet your specific needs.

Special Guest: Dylan Chalk, Experienced Inspector and ScribeWare Developer
First Half of Roundtable: Live Q&A on inspection reporting best practices and how ScribeWare addresses common inspector pain points.

P³ Profitable Pricing Fast-Track Course
2026-05-08 08:00 - 16:00 (America/Denver) | Online Training:, Zoom
Walk away knowing exactly what to charge, why it works, and how to profit on every job. This course helps commercial property inspectors understand their true costs and price strategically. You’ll learn the CCPIA® P³ Profitable Pricing Framework and customize the included pricing spreadsheet to calculate profitable fees for every commercial inspection.
Common pricing methods like hourly rate and square-footage-based pricing are a starting point, but on their own they leave out the key metrics needed to know whether a job is actually profitable. The P³ framework fills that gap. The spreadsheet does the calculations. The framework is what makes it work. You’ll know the profit potential of every job before you quote it. No more guesswork.
This Fast-Track course is held live on Zoom on May 8, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. MST. Registration unlocks the course portal with prep materials, templates, and demo videos. Prep is optional, the live session covers everything. After the session, you’ll have unlimited access to the portal anytime you need a refresher, plus a course certificate.
Key Topics
Register for the one-day session on Zoom to learn the key metrics for setting profitable inspection fees and how to use the included pricing spreadsheet template to:

Price any commercial property type
Price strategically based on your break-even point and target margin
Handle inspection fee conversations with confidence because you know your numbers
Customize the included pricing spreadsheet for your business and practice using it
Use the pricing spreadsheet for a single inspector or a multi-inspector firm
Apply inspection efficiency rates and reporting time factors for accurate fees across all commercial property types

How This Course Helps You
Pricing every job for profit means planning ahead for the job and for the investments that grow your business. That includes marketing, new hires, expanded services, and better equipment. The P³ Profitable Pricing Framework guides you through three phases: Plan, Price, and Profit.
The framework applies your inspection efficiency and reporting time across commercial property types so your fees are accurate. No scrambling to justify your fee or send a revised invoice after the fact. You’ll know your real profit margin and break-even point for every job — and how to adjust from there.
You get an hourly rate, but that’s one piece of a larger system. The P³ framework gives you a repeatable process for every job so you always have the numbers to back up your pricing and hit your growth goals.
Need to adjust a fee to build a relationship or add a buffer for an unpredictable job? You can do both knowing your margins. Want to buy new tools or equipment, or a specialty contractors, lodging, or drive time to a specific job? It all lives in one place. The framework puts you in control of every job, every time.
