Home Inspection Software

[Andrew Pacan]

I hope this is the right place to post this message...

Hello,

I though that this forum might be a good place to do some inital research. My name is Andrew and my primary background is software architecure/design/development (over 10 years experience working at a large Bank). I have always had an intertest in home inspection and am fairly well versed in the basics of electrical, plumbing, structure, etc. and have a fair amount of exposure to contruction/renovations. I am from Ontario, Canada and am also registered as a Certified Engineering Technologist with OACETT.

My main question is what type of market is there for new home inspection software? I am considering starting to gather requirements in order design and build a fully customizable suite of home inspection tools. I know that there are others on the market but do they do everything inspectors want them to do? Any input/thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated. I also have every intention of becoming an InterNACHI member over the next few months.

Thanks,

Andrew

This should get interesting in a hurry.

Well Andrew, you've come to the right place. You might want to consider trying a few free trials before you decide which one suits your needs.

If it fully customizable, come with starter templates, flexible, work with any computer, PDAs, support remote storage, have great customer service and cheap, throw in hosting of web services including: scheduling, credit card processing, SEO and reports. You would then be equal to some of the competition. Sorry I could not help myself. Tell us what you got and we will all look at it.

You'll have to forgive Bob, you see, the age is getting to him. First the memory goes, then the incessant use of Viagra. It's sad to watch really.

The men in my family have a habit of dating young women for a reason

Bobby that thread just proves it is the biggest selling of all.
