One advantage of the reporting language is that each line is a negative comment. This prevents "doctoring" of the report by outside parties as adding a check anywhere makes the report read worse.

A commercial fire door inspection can be performed as a separate, stand-alone inspection service.

We are developing swinging door inspection stickers and rolling and sliding door inspection tags for member use.

I commend the document, however, I suggest that Canadian inspectors be careful when using the "International Standard" and assuming it verbatim.
Review fire protection and means of egress from the National or applicable provincial code. When it comes to fire protection - the potential liability and risk is greatly increased. - Simply a word of caution from a Ministry of Housing/OBOA Code Course Facilitator.

This could be a real money maker for members and the inspections come around every year. Note the expiration date in the sample report form:

Hey Nick...
Will you be asking Russell to update the InterNACHI ComSOP template for HomeGauge to reflect this new addition? If so, will it be available as a free upgrade for those of us who purchased the template?

BTW: This isn't a building code (which is of little direct use to inspectors). It is a Standards of Practice for performing annual inspections of the readiness of existing commercial fire doors in the U.S. and Canada.
It's for inspectors, not builders. Nick Gromicko, CMI Founder World's biggest, best inspection association "Planet InterNACHI... resistance is futile" |

I think selling these inspections would be in the same category as pre-sale residential "ZERO"...but that is just my opinion---

If it works as good as our pre-listing inspections do in Denver, I'll be thrilled.... and it has the added incentives of being required by NFPA.... and being commercial.... and being annual.

Since my 1000 Letters to Home Sellers (pre-listing, sellers inspections) got me a return of 0 for 1000, I'll write up some sort of letter to building owners and property management companies and see what my return is.

Yeah, we had poor results with letter writing to sellers too. We found only one way to capture the attention of the big listing agents... we walk into the office carrying a MIC sign. One look at the sign and they finally get their head around what we are trying to do. From there it rolls smoothly.
