Commercial inspection software discount.
Dear InterNACHI members:
InspectVue Commercial has been released. It’s a remarkable program that has all
of
the
virtues of our residential program, but is based on ASTM standards and facilitates
cost estimating and inspections on buildings ranging from apartments, condominiums and strip-malls to skyscrapers.
For those of you who’ve never thought about doing commercial inspections, you
might want to think about it now. First of all, commercial inspections offer you
more work and greater revenue. And, let’s face it, you probably already have
the
expertise, experience, and necessary tools to do
the
job, and commercial clients are so much easier to work with. Residential clients
usually develop a personal attachment to a property and can become quite emotional
over truly insignificant defects, whereas commercial clients are really only interested
in
the
bottom-line, or in knowing
the
cost of essential repairs, necessary upgrades, and that of maintenance. Interestingly,
commercial and residential inspections tend to be remarkably similar, except that
commercial systems are somewhat larger and typically more complicated than residential
ones. And for this reason, many new commercial inspectors often elect to subcontract
aspects of
the
inspection to specialists, such as structural and mechanical engineers, plumbers,
and electricians. However, inspectors also tend to learn quickly, and usually
end up becoming sufficiently qualified to evaluate
the
vast majority of systems for
the
mselves, and
the
reby reduce
the
ir costs and increase
the
ir revenue. Naturally, marketing techniques for commercial properties are different
from residential ones, and have to be restructured somewhat, but
the
profit is usually worth
the
effort. Think about it, more work, more money, more prestige as an inspector,
and a less stressful enterprise! And, all you really need that you don’t already
have is a truly sophisticated software program like InspectVue Commercial, which
would make
the
whole endeavor worthwhile!
As always, InterNACHI members and only InterNACHI members get an exclusive $100 discount.
