HOW to WRITE a HOME INSPECTION REPORT
The purpose of this guide is to enlighten you as to how you write reports. Not the report format but the observations and recommendations you write.
As you read through this guide you’ll be briefly exposed to many procedures, which have been used by both successful and unsuccessful inspection professionals.
Limit your liability!
Most consumer complaints can be eliminated with a properly written report.
Included within this publication are universal “Dos and Don’ts”, misunderstandings of descriptions, definitions and corrective recommendations. You will read how Court Judges, Arbitrators and Attorneys act and respond.
Within this guide you will find many real world examples.
We show you how to write a home inspection report.
Inspectors shall be objective in their reporting and not knowingly understate or overstate the significance of reported conditions. A component is not defective unless it is failing to perform its intended function. Not because you would have constructed it another way. An example is roof to sidewall flashing. The flashing is continuous although you would have preferred step flashing.
Included in this guide are chapters on;
- Your industry expected responsibility
- Common Report Writing Mistakes
- Preparing and Delivering Reports
- Dos and Don'ts
- Report Writing Rules to use everyday.
