CCPIA's Cost to Remedy Fast-Track Course (Past Event)

Learn how to calculate repair estimates, form opinions of costs, and build cost tables. In two-half day virtual sessions, this fast-track teaches how to evaluate property conditions from a new perspective. It moves beyond identifying issues and focuses on determining whether work should be performed to keep the property operating effectively based on client objectives.

You will learn to distinguish repair from replacement, proactive maintenance from deferred maintenance, and to assess the remaining useful life of building systems. You will then apply this knowledge to develop cost to remedy tables. The course reviews practical methods to gather cost data and includes examples using cost estimating platforms and tools.

• March 19-20, 2026 (from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. MST)
• Virtual Fast-Track on Zoom 
• $650 for two-half day sessions 

Students receive a certificate of completion along with a coursebook, cost calculator spreadsheet template, and cost to remedy report template.
