Founded by Alan Carson and Bob Dunlop in 1978, our dedicated team at Carson Dunlop has been helping thousands of inspectors excel in property inspection for more than 40 years. Our education and report-writing solutions have helped set the gold standard for the industry at large. As the creators behind Canada’s most recognized training program, we’ve earned partnerships and endorsements from leading universities, colleges, and home inspection associations. With over 200,000 reports already completed across North America, we continue to innovate every aspect of inspection.
In 2022, Carson Dunlop acquired National Property Inspections, Inc., including their Canadian extension, Global Property Inspections. Combining more than 75 years of professional experience, our teams have joined together to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to not only grow a lucrative business, but make a lasting impact on your community.
At Carson Dunlop, diversification is key. We train you in more than 20 types of inspections, including an array of residential services, commercial property assessments, field service inspections, and more. Our franchise owners help keep families in their communities safe every day, arming clients with the information they need to make informed decisions.
