About Us
Carson Dunlop is a consulting engineering firm that has been dedicated to home inspection since it was founded in 1978. Starting from a time when home inspection was an unknown quantity in Canada, we have grown to become Canada’s oldest and largest independent home inspection company. We have also diversified to become a uniquely integrated company, creating a number of related businesses all built on our home inspection foundation. We have added:
- Commercial inspections
- Energy audits
- Home inspection training
- Continuing education for home inspectors and allied professions
- Report writing systems.
We take pride in our role as leaders of this young profession, and have been active in the home inspection community since its inception. Carson Dunlop were founding members of the Canadian Association of Home Inspectors in 1982. This organization has evolved to become the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors (CAHPI). We have also been active in the US home inspection community, and Alan Carson was the President of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) in 1994.
