TOPIC: Home Layout Drawing / Pest Inspection Drawing Feature

There are some Home Inspector Pro users that have created Termite Inspection templates or combo Home Inspection / Termite Inspection templates. One of the items on my to do list is to create a way to drawing page that had a grid that you could use to draw out a home and add comments.

I need to know from you guys, what features you want to be part of this whether you were to use it for pest inspections, or even for part of your home inspection (like to point out where on the layout theirs a crack in the wall).

If you can attach images of any current drawings you may have, that would be extremely helpful. Let me know what you would want to see as part of this feature.

Dominic, in Oregon/Washington we combine the full home inspection with a WDO inspection. Ideally it would nice to be able to flag WDO items in the home inspection report and have go to a WDO report/diagram. At this time I am using an old program which I believe uses Microsoft paint for the diagram, I will email you a report when I can so you can see it.

Hi Bill,

That would be great. Visuals are very helpful. Would you just include one diagram in the report, or would you have multiple diagrams for different problems?

I use a diagram for the WDO report only at this time. I include pictures in the main report. I am planning with staying the same and only using one diagram for WDO items.

Do you make the diagram a full page? Do you lay text over it or have any special markings to denote different problems? If you can attach a sample to a post (click Advanced Options), that would be great.

OK I'm techincally challenged--how do I get to advanced options to attach a report?
