TOPIC: Ratings, Yes or No?

Did you want the HIP report format to get the template?

No, but you could always share that here if you want with others. I just wanted to check out how your report looks. It helps as I'm thinking of the new design to see how people are trying to accomplish it now. Thanks!

I am still trying to refine things.

I get a lot of redundancy in the sections (too much electrical issues in different locations; bath, kitchen, outdoors, basement, main electrical, hvac electrical...).This adds to the photo caption problem. I had 13 photos that I had to move after I generated my first report draft today.

My goal is to have brief comments that would end up in a summary page that I pick-n-choose. Then dictate the specifics in the photo caption.

I have been working more on marketing than my report lately!

It is a bit too confusing at this point (even to me).

Hi Dave,

I think it looks pretty sharp. I can see a few areas where it can be cleaned up, but a good job overall.

I have a question for Dave A.

Lets say you have an inspection were the kitchen faucet/sink/trap/supply was defective.

Where do you note this in your report?

I am trying to edit my bath/plumbing/kitchen areas for using in the field.

I like to keep pluming within the section but I need to add some areas for the bathrooms as I have toilets as one panel. If three toilets are serviceable and one is damaged I need to be able to report on with a better set up.

Thanks, You sample is very good. It looks like it would work well in the field.

I use the "component" type report. I could never get the room-by-room straight.

I just put all plumbing in the plumbing.
I find this useful as the client has a list of plumbing issues from the plumbing section and that section can all go to the plumber.

When There are three bathrooms and you have a loose toilet; I select "You have a loose toilet". Put it in the "Red Section". Then double click it and add "in the master bathroom".

Also if you have six plumbing issues and that is all that is really wrong with the house, it is obvious that they just need a plumber and be on their way to closing. When It is scattered through the report, it seem a much bigger issue than it really is.
