Summer 2005
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce the next session of our award-winning Commercial Building Inspection Course, scheduled for Nov. 10-12, 2005 , in Atlanta, Georgia at the IUSA Training Institute. The fee for the session, including the course textbook and lunches, is $US 1,895. That’s approximately what you may earn on your first two commercial inspections!
If you ever thought you would like to inspect commercial buildings, there has never been a better time than now.
§ A commercial building inspection lands about 40-80% more money than a residential inspection for the same amount of time!
§ A home inspection company that does commercial inspections is more highly respected than a company that does residential alone!
§ Commercial clients are typically more professional and “bottom line” oriented.
The Carson Dunlop Weldon Commercial Inspection Building Course is hot. It’s three action-packed days and covers all you need to know to get your Commercial Inspection Division up and running. Our instructors are professional engineers, with over ten years of commercial building inspection experience.
You must be an experienced home inspector in the residential sector. Without a good grasp of inspecting single-family residential houses, this course will be too advanced for you.v
We will provide our comprehensive commercial inspection textbook. You will leave with a wealth of information including sample inspection reports, consultants’ reports, and information on quoting inspections, report writing, costing and relevant business issues.
You’ll learn how to get into the commercial inspection business. We will cover everything from business practices to technical inspection, with special emphasis on the “the team approach” to commercial inspections. You will learn where and when a consultant is required and how to find and work with consultants. The course is also approved for 20 cahpi(bc) and ashi® Membership Renewal Credits, 16 creiasm Continuing Education Credits and 24 NAHI CEUs.
Coffee breaks and full lunches are also included in your fee.
Please let us know what your needs are and we will put you in touch with the right hotel.
Call 1-770-552-1224 and ask for Carita Ferrell (or email iai@mindsprint.com). Full payment must be received by May 23, 2005, to receive the Early Bird Offer. Visa and MasterCard accepted at a slightly higher rate. Class size is limited to the first 25 participants.
Sincerely,
Richard Weldon, P.Eng. Carson Dunlop

Caution: The main road in front of our building has a reversible lane. Please make sure you check the arrow in the centre lane so that you do not end up in this lane when you should not be there. If you wish to make a left turn when turning out of our parking lot we would recommend a right turn and then go up a few yards and turn around to head south. It is easier and safer.
When entering into our driveway we have two speed bumps so go slowly. Feel free to call us at any time if you have any questions.

400 north to exit 6 Northridge Rd.

Turn right and head north on Roswell Rd. You are 3 minutes away. You will cross the Chattahoochee River and go through the light. You are now in Roswell heading up a hill. At the top of the hill at the curve in the road you need to make a right turn into our driveway.
As soon as you see the limo service on your right put your right turn signal on and start to slow down. The next business is Peach State Pool Service. We are the first driveway past their office and you will need to make an immediate right turn. Across the street is the Atlanta Baptist Church. Park anywhere in the back of the building.

There is the Atlanta Baptist church directly across the street from us and we both sit on the curve. Right next to us is Peach State Pool Service.
