Effective inspection report writing requires finding the perfect balance between thoroughness and client accessibility, with strategic organization making all the difference in client satisfaction and efficiency.
• Report summaries should be placed at the beginning, not the end, of inspection reports for maximum client usability
• Common industry fear that front-loaded summaries create liability has little evidence to support it
• Consolidating report sections (like combining all bedrooms under "Living Spaces") streamlines reports without compromising quality
• Separate bathroom and kitchen sections from general living spaces for clarity and client expectations
• Limit canned comments to 5 primary options per item to avoid wasting time scrolling through excessive choices
• A streamlined report takes less time to create and is far more useful to clients and contractors
• The Einstein principle applies: if you can't explain something simply, you simply don't understand it
