Home Inspection

Answer: D - Any of the above is an acceptable format for a home inspection report. Some clients want to be able to walk away with a report upon the conclusion of the inspection. In this situation, a checklist is the best option. However, many inspectors prefer narrative reports in order to provide details of their findings as a way to provide valuable information to clients and protect themselves against claims of negligence. Yet others prefer the combined approach. Whatever your preference, be sure to use the same reporting method with all of your clients.
