Inspection Narratives?

[jwelker]

I am a new inspector just getting into the field and wanted to know if anyone has a master list of narratives that I could look at? (free) Not nessasaraly to copy but to look at and get an idea on how to write professional sounding narratives.

You get what you pay for.

Writing narratives take time. Lot's of time. And constant updating to address various conditions.

Most inspectors are simply not willing to share their hard work just to be "borrowed".

I suspect the "free" versions you will find are in the version of "sample reports" on inspectors websites. Even then, many inspectors do not display sample reports for this reason.

Good luck.

Here's an old thread that has a link to some examples.

People pay for water and air to Linus.
I will be starting my new narrative Live "help hotline" at $19.00@month with one year contract beginning next week, so please stop writing and asking for help till then all of you as I know excitement is in the air over this new service.

Joe,in all seriousness I doubt you got what you needed.

The only real way to have a good narrative collection is in your own words that you save as you do reports.

Strange that canned collections are called narratives ,when they are anything but.

Be present where you are and write what you see.(pretty simple)
If you are not sure about what you see then all the canned comments in the world will not help you.

Study and learn how to find answers on your own is the real secret.
