Cost to Remedy Hands-on Field Training (Past Event)

Thursday, July 9th from 9:00am to 4:00pm CDT
Chicago, IL, USA

Gain hands-on experience inspecting a commercial building and drafting a cost to remedy report from your own findings. 

You’ll complete a cost to remedy service from start to finish, including:

  • Perform an inspection
  • Gather key information during the inspection for the cost to remedy report
  • Classify observed conditions as repair, replacement, or maintenance items
  • Determine suggested remedies for observed deficiencies
  • Use cost data sources to estimate repair and replacement costs
  • Draft a cost to remedy report

You'll inspect an event venue with two banquet halls and two commercial kitchens, and walk away with the final cost to remedy report, including immediate costs and a reserve table projecting short-, mid-, and long-term costs. Report templates, cost estimating spreadsheets, sample cost data sources, and workflow guides are included. 

You’ll also learn how to set the service scope with the client, market and communicate this service to potential clients, and update proposals and agreements for liability protection. Altogether, this gives you the step-by-step process to expand your commercial property inspection services and start offering cost to remedy with confidence.

Ask questions throughout the training and get answers to situations you may encounter when offering this service on your own.
