Questions

What goes in a home inspection report?

A visual, non-invasive review of a home's major systems and components, with each item rated and every defect paired with a clear recommendation. ReportDraft lays it out in 12 sections: roof, exterior, structure and foundation, heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, fireplaces and chimneys, attic, insulation and ventilation, interior, built-in appliances, garage.

Do my province or territory's rules change the report?

Pick your province or territory when you start. Where we have checked a local requirement against official sources, it is added to your completeness list with a link to the source.

Can I edit the draft?

Yes. Every finding, rating and sentence is editable before you sign. Your own entries always win over anything drafted from your notes.

What do I get at the end?

A signed, locked PDF for your client and an editable Word file, both with your company details. Signed reports keep a fingerprint so later changes are visible.

Which plan covers it?

ReportDraft Inspection covers a home inspection report along with roof inspections. Home Inspections is also sold on its own.
