THE REPORT GUIDE
A clear record.
A useful next step.
Inspection reports should make the evidence easy to find and the limits of the visit easy to understand. This guide shows how Northline proposes to organize an assignment.
Illustrative format only. This is not a completed inspection, a client sample, or an underwriting recommendation. Required fields, photographs, measurements, and delivery formats are agreed for each program.
02 / PHOTO RECORD
Connect the evidence.
- Required property elevations and exterior views
- Relevant visible conditions with identifying context
- Photos organized to match the report
- Missing views or access limitations identified
03 / OBSERVATIONS
Say what was observed.
- Visible exterior property details within scope
- Condition notes linked to supporting photos
- Unknown or unverified information identified
- Observations separated from assumptions
04 / MEASUREMENTS
Document the footprint.
- Exterior measurements when ordered
- Building footprint sketch when required
- Measured and estimated information distinguished
- Inaccessible sections and uncertainties stated
05 / LIMITATIONS
Keep the limits visible.
- Areas that could not be accessed or observed
- Weather, visibility, or access constraints
- Outstanding information needed from the client
- Any follow-up work requiring agreement
06 / REVIEW
Check the handoff.
