All About The Report


 
Your Home Inspection report is generated with the use of a laptop computer, 2 hand-held computers and digital imagery. The report gives recommendations to repair, replace or monitor components as well as all observations of major concerns, possible non-compliance with present standards, functionality or safety issues. Digital photographs used in the report may also be used to show the client a condition they cannot otherwise view due to their limited access to the roof, attic, basement or other restricted areas.

  During the inspection all pertinent information is collected and stored on a hand held "Pocket PC". With the use of voice recordings, the report is then thoroughly customized to disclose the exact nature of each observation, functionality and/or non-compliance found by the inspector and when possible, observations are accompanied by digital photography.

  The inspection and report are performed and prepared for the sole, confidential and exclusive use and possession of our clients only. Our service does not end when you receive the written report. We will be happy to discuss your questions and concerns at any time in the future at no extra charge. The length of an average report is 35+ pages and includes 20+ digital images and is usually completed within 1-2 business days.

  Although we do take you through an extensive 'on-the-site' narrative during the actual inspection, we take particular pride in our computer generated narrative reports which are thorough and detailed. Not only does the report note any problems found, but also lists systems and components which are unsafe, non-functional or likely to become so in the future. Although created mostly on-site, the report is not completed 100% because it may involve more extensive research and reflection, which can be better performed in an office setting.

  Receiving the Report: The most efficient and expeditious way to obtain the report is via email. This is NOT a bulky attachment but an email with a link to our server where you may download the report in .pdf format and open it using Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is installed on most computers. You can also download Reader free here. The average report is 35-40 pages in pdf format when printed out.

  The written report can also be mailed the next business day after the inspection. However, if special arrangements are made prior to the inspection or extenuating circumstances exist, the report may be available within 24 hours and be available for client pick-up or drop-off if in the Cape Ann area.
