7. Report

7.1  Format

The report must be in writing.  This Standard does not require any one particular format.  It is the opinion of InterNACHI-CCPIA that the commercial inspection industry and consumer clients are best served when inspectors are free to compete through report-generation innovation.


7.2  Date

The report should be dated on the first page.


7.3  Inspection Firm Information

The report should include the name and contact information of the inspection firm on the first or second page.


7.4  Property Address

The report should include the address of the property inspected, or a description of the real estate sufficient for identification, on the first or second page.


7.5  Total Number of Pages

The report should indicate the total number of pages and attachments on the first page. 


7.6  Brevity

Reports should be concise, to-the-point, and avoid the inclusion of large amounts of pre-printed material.


7.7  Legibility

Reports should be typed or handwritten clearly.


7.8  Opinions of Shut-Down Systems

The inspector should still try to render an opinion of the condition of systems even if they were shut down or were not operational at the time of the walk-through survey.


7.9  Obsolescence

The client should only rely on the inspection report at the point in time that the inspector's observations were being made and research was being conducted.  The client should deem the report as obsolete to some extent, even while it is being prepared.


7.10  Site-Specific

The client should understand that an inspection performed in accordance with this Standard only relates to the observations made and research conducted.  Consequently, this Standard does not address issues such as business operations at the subject property, deed encumbrances, neighborhood conditions, etc.


7.11  Multiple Buildings

An inspection report produced in accordance with this Standard may encompass more than one building within a single report.


7.12  Cost to Remedy

The inspector is not required to provide repair estimates or opinions of costs to remedy.  The inspector may offer opinions about such costs as a courtesy, but the offering of these opinions is outside the scope of a commercial inspection.
