[QUOTE=Chuck Lambert;582475]If the only items in the report that are mentioned are items that are defective. No mention of any items that were ok or working properly.
Is this type of only reporting on what was defective ONLY a report that meets the NACHI Standards of Practice? Chuck[/QUOTE] "1.3. An Inspection Report shall describe and identify, in written format, the inspected systems, structures, and components of the dwelling, and shall identify material defects observed. Inspection reports may contain recommendations regarding conditions reported or recommendations for correction, monitoring or further evaluation by professionals, but this is not required." Directly from the INACHI SOP, it is quite clear, your report needs to have more than defects listed. Most inspectors are looking for compliance (in many industries), noting both properly working systems and noting system defects. |
