A-Pro

Hi Al - While I agree that Louisiana's licensing laws aren't the toughest out there, they're certainly not among the weakest. In fact (for what it's worth, anyway), ASHI's 2005 rankings of state regulations governing the home inspection industry places LA 2nd overall (just behind New Jersey at #1 and just in front of Texas at #3). Applicaton for an LA license requires 90 hours of classroom education through a state-approved provider and 30-40 hours of supervised field training with a LSBHI-approved provider. You must also pass the NHIE, abide by the LSHBI SOP/COE and carry a minimum of $300,000 in E&O/GL, as well as complete an Inspection Reporting Form at the end of each month for the Board and submit a state-mandated fee of $5 per inspection.

Thanks everybody for the great advice! I've shared the thread with our inspector in Biloxi (where the job is taking place) and found some "cookie cutter" proposal templates. He's got a lot of experience with multi-unit buildings sucvh as these, so I'm confident he can put together a well-versed and competitive bid for the client. Fingers crossed we get the job!!

I've been asked to bid (in writing) on a 344-unit condo inspection and would like to know if anyone has a template or past proposal for a similar project. If so, could you please share it with me via e-mail? Thanks in advance! Marilyn a-proinspection@comcast.net
