HOME INSPECTION REPORTS

HABITEC Home and Building Inspections, LLC offers one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-read Inspection reports in the industry!

Using the latest Home Inspection report software combined with informative and embedded digital photographs, HABITEC Inspectors will prepare an Inspection Report that is a virtual walk-through of your home.  Reports are emailed or, for a small fee, delivered in a printed and bound form to the Client. 

 

To view a sample Home Inspection Report, simply click here. 

 

(These reports are in Adobe PDF format and require a PDF reader. To download a free Adobe PDF reader go to this link: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)


OUR HOME INSPECTION REPORT COMPONENTS
There are several components to the Home Inspection Report. The first component is where the field notes and digital pictures are found. In the printed presentation this component is identified with the tab “Inspection Report”.  Within this component are different categories of a home such as the following:

General Information, Lots and Grounds, Exterior Surface and Components, Roof, Attic, Kitchen, Living Spaces, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Laundry Room, Utility or Janitor’s Room, Garage/Carport, Fireplaces, Air Conditioning, Heating System, Electrical System, Plumbing, Crawl Space or Basement, Structural Components, Radon Mitigation System

 
In these categories each item that is inspected is graded Acceptable, Functional, Marginal or Defective. Definitions of each grade are provided on the first page of the report. If applicable, an item may be identified as Not Inspected, Not Applicable or Not Present.  Following the Inspection Report is an Inspection Summary.  The Inspection Summary recaps all the items that were graded as Functional, Marginal, or Defective and are color-coded as such.  Although this section may be helpful as a quick review, it is important that you read the entire report.
 
 
 
 
 
The next tab in the printed presentation is labeled Home Care and Repair.  It contains a manual entitled "Basic Home Systems, How to Operate Your Home."  This manual offers helpful information to better understand and maintain your home.  The final tab is for Additional Information.  This is a location to store your copy of the contract and where Environmental Service reports may be located. 
 
 
 
 
Inside the front cover of the bound presentation is a list of additional services you may find helpful.  From Environmental Services to an annual Home Inspector Review, HABITEC is available to help you maintain your home in the future. 
 
 
 
 
 
Finally, inside the back cover is a coupon for $25 for each referral you provide that results in a residential or commercial building inspection, or environmental sampling services.   We thank you for your referral!
 
Coupons are limited to one per inspection event and coupons cannot be used in conjunction with other promotional offers.
 
 
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE REPORTS
 
Environmental service reports for mold, radon and water quality are normally presented in narrative format.  If done separate from a Home or Commercial Building Inspection report, these environmental reports are emailed to the client within 48 hours of completion.  If part of a Home or Commercial Inspection, the environmental service reports are attached to the appropriate inspection report.  Please see the section entitled Environmental Services for additional information.
 

 
 
COMMERCIAL BUILDING INSPECTION REPORTS
 
Commercial Building Inspection Reports are tailored to meet the needs of individual clients.  While it is possible to forward abbreviated Commercial Reports to a client using email, most Commercial Reports are delivered in a bound hard-copy format.
 
The end result of a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) will be a Property Condition Report (PCR) that indicates the information obtained during the PCA.  The PCR is an easy to read document that includes the following components:
 
  • Executive Summary
  • Field Notes and Photographs
  • Key Personnel Interviews
  • PCA Questionaire
  • PCR Document Review
  • ADA Survey
  • Opinion of Probable Costs (Estimate)
  • Environmental Services
 
Please see the section entitled Commercial Inspections for a complete explanation of each component.
 

 
 
Unique to the Commercial Building Inspection Report is the Executive Summary.  This component brings together all the information contained in the other components of the Commercial Building Inspection Report.  The Executive Summary is presented in narrative format with digital pictures included as appropriate.
 
 
 
 
Our customers tell us that they LOVE our reports and that our reports are the BEST in the INDUSTRY!!!
