Common Questions (FAQ)
Yes! Once you complete the 10-Hour Commercial Property Inspection course, you’ll leave with the certification and the knowledge necessary to provide best-in-class commercial inspections.
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International is a world-renowned technical standards organization. Their ASTM E2018-15 Standard is the set of guidelines used to evaluate all types of commercial properties. It also outlines the process for writing a comprehensive and reliable Property Condition Assessment (PCA). This standard aligns with industry best practices, so by learning it in this course, you can be the most thorough, transparent, and successful commercial property inspector from Day 1!
Top earners in commercial property inspection make over $100,000 per year. But how your yearly income is broken down by inspection depends on your pricing system. You can choose to charge per square foot, for example, or even charge a percentage of the total building sale price.
Commercial properties differ in uses, sizes, and price points, so your income per building will vary. Inspecting a cafe might make you $800, where inspecting just one shopping mall could bring in $10,000.
With a Commercial Property Inspection certification, you can inspect the following types of properties and more:
- Office Buildings
- Retail Properties
- Industrial Properties
- Luxury Properties
- Restaurants and Cafes
- Multi-Family Housing
- Hospitality Real Estate
- University Buildings
Commercial inspections are typically done before the purchase of a commercial property and are often also required as a form of regular maintenance in the lifecycle of that property — sometimes even annually. This is especially the case in high-traffic buildings, like hotels, which have safety standards to maintain.
