Building Inspection Report – This is how I can turnaround so quickly!
In the fast-paced world of real estate, time is often of the essence, especially when it comes to property inspections. Many of my clients and colleagues frequently ask how I manage to deliver comprehensive inspection reports so quickly – often in a few hours or before the end of day. Today, I want to share the journey that led to this efficient property inspection report turnaround.
The Challenge of Traditional Methods
In the early days of my inspection career, I, like many others, relied on Word templates to compile my reports. This process involved manually inserting photos and aligning text, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. The method was cumbersome and hardly efficient, especially when clients needed reports swiftly to make timely decisions.
Embracing Change for Efficiency
Determined to stay at the top of my game and enhance the services of my business, I realized that sticking to old methods wouldn’t cut it. The turning point came when I decided to invest in technology – specifically, an application tailored to my needs. This decision led to the creation of “Inspectah,” a software for property inspectors, designed from the ground up to cater to the specifics of property inspections.
How Inspectah Transformed My Workflow
Inspectah streamlined every aspect of the property inspection report process:
- Efficient Photo Integration: With Inspectah, I could take pictures directly through the app and automatically insert them into the report. This eliminated the need for manual adjustments and alignments.
- Customization Without Compromise: Despite the automation, I didn’t have to sacrifice the customization of each report. Inspectah allowed me to maintain the high standards and quality that my clients expect.
- Speed and Reliability: The app significantly cut down the time required to compile and deliver reports. My record time for a complete inspection and report delivery is now two hours.
A Real-Life Example of Efficiency
To illustrate, let me recount a recent experience: A client called me the night before, needing an urgent property inspection report in Auckland before an auction scheduled for 1 PM. By 8 AM, I was at the property conducting my inspection, and by 10:38 AM, the comprehensive inspection report was in their inbox – well in time for them to make an informed decision at the auction. This is after driving from the North Shore back to the office at East Tamaki!
