Experience a commercial building inspection from start to finish.
Fact: Commercial Property Inspections require specialized knowledge and a high degree of skill.
Although manuals, seminars, courses and experience in residential inspections or commercial construction are all useful when tackling commercial properties, the truth is most professionals find the process to be much more daunting than they expected. Even the most experienced professional can find themselves at a loss when faced with a 40,000 square foot behemoth that needs to be dissected, inspected and conquered. Questions arise which were not addressed in the manual, and previously unheard of problems have a nasty habit of appearing. The process would be much simpler if only a trained professional were present to act as a guide through this process.
CDW Engineering has done the next best thing to assigning one of their professional, full-time commercial property inspectors to act as your mentor as you take on the challenge of a commercial property.
In an exciting Instructional DVD, A Day in the Life of a Commercial Inspector, CDW fills in the gaps between the classroom and the electrical room. In this video series, join Richard Weldon, P.Eng,. as he demonstrates first-hand the commercial property inspection process. Our cameras follow Richard and the rest of the CDW team through an actual inspection, from the initial discussion with the client, through the actual inspection process, and finally to preparing the report. In this video you will feel like a member of the CDW team, see first-hand what to expect on the job and learn many inspection tips that take years to learn first hand.
In this DVD, you will learn:
– Pertinent questions to ask the client when calculating your fee and sending out a proposal, so you don’t need to visit the property.
– The proper way to determine the true size of an electrical service to a building. You would be amazed to learn how many inspectors are doing this incorrectly!
– The proper way to assess the fee for services rendered, those who charge too little are seriously shortchanging themselves, those who charge too much are destined to be consumed by the completion.

- Handling the initial inspection inquiry on the phone
- Quoting the fee
- Working with Specialists
- Preparing for the inspection

This DVD has been prepared specifically for those in the industry. Home inspectors getting into commercial inspections will find this experience invaluable. It’s like field training from the comfort of your home or office. Architects, Engineers and others who already do commercial inspections will be pleasantly surprised by the “tricks of the trade” revealed here that commercial inspectors tend to keep confidential.
