TOPIC: My Sample Report - Opinions Wanted

One of the cool things about the program John is that inspectors can customize the template to their own special design

Some have a bedroom section for each bedroom. Some have one section for all the bedrooms, and some like David, now have no bedroom section! Some vary it depending on the house and how many problems it has as well. A very old , larger house with lots of problems will be easier to do room by room. A half way decent house can be condensed using a system by system style.

Nice, sensible explanations!  I stayed up for a while last night checking out the tutorials, wish I woulda done that first!!  Now I can't wait till I get home from my day job to really explore HIP!

I do not do a room by room report. This is why no bedrooms.

I do a narrative report. You can find all the components of the bedroom in my interior, electrical and heating sections.

Windows, doors, walls, ceilings, ceiling fans are in interior. Ceiling fans can also be in electrical along with the lights, switches and outlets. Supply and return is in the heating section.

I used to do a room by room report and I now do a narrative.

The template you have of mine is older and I have updated it many times. It is getting there.
I update on a daily basis.

If I had a specific issue with a bedroom I would note the location in that section of the report.

Like if I only had one broken receptacle and it was in a bedroom the report would specify the location.

Dave, I failed to mention that it is a great looking template, I may use it for another practice inspection and post the results for critique.
Thanks for making it available!
