It is therefore better to do business with a building inspector who will give you a clear, complete, and informative report. The purpose of this article is to answer the question, \u201cWhat does a building inspection report look like?\u201d It will help you to <\/span><b>better understand the importance of a good inspection report<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by highlighting the elements it should contain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clearly written report can serve to avoid litigation by facilitating amicable settlements in case of problems or disputes. For example, in the case of a leaky roof or a crack in the foundation, a detailed inspection report can confirm whether the problem was visible before the purchase of the building. In This way, a clearly written report protects both parties to the transaction \u2013 the buyer and the seller \u2013 because it leaves no doubt concerning their respective responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The narrative report is written following analysis of the results of the visual inspection of the building by the building inspector who must sign it and indicate the date of the inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, then, is what a good building inspection report looks like.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inspection report should give information on what was or was not visible <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report must <\/span><b>clearly indicate the parts of the building which were accessible and visible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the inspector\u2019s visit \u2013 and it must do so in a precise and detailed way. It would not be sufficient for the inspector to write that \u201cpart of the foundation was no invisible.\u201d It would be much more explicit to write that \u201cthe foundation at the front of the building was not visible on the left\u201d and to include why this part of the foundation was not completely accessible. For example, the inspector could specify that \u201ca section of siding prevented the foundation from being seen at that point.\u201d The goal is to <\/span><b>leave no doubt<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about which elements were inspected and evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report should contain a description of each inspected component<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For each component inspected, the inspection report should cite the component type and <\/span><b>describe the component in detail as well as indicate its current condition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Any anomaly must duly be noted. When a component is in excellent condition, this should also be noted. The goal is to provide an accurate picture of the actual condition of the building at the time of the inspection in order to <\/span><b>protect both the buyer and the seller<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report should include images of inspected components<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photographs are used to illustrate the descriptions of the components inspected and evaluated. To do so, the images should be marked with arrows indicating the components and accompanied by written clarifications and explanations. The goal is to <\/span><b>provide as much detail as possible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in order to fully understand the condition of the building.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report should indicate the temperature at the time of the inspection<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Weather conditions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at the time of the the visit <\/span><b>can affect inspection procedures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, an inspection at the end of a prolonged drought may distort the results, while a winter inspection may not provide an in-depth assessment of the risk of soil subsidence. For these reasons, the inspection report should detail all weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report should be clearly written using plain language<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><b>building inspection<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report needs to be understandable. The goal is to have a document that establishes the condition of the building at the time of sale. That is why it is better to avoid ambiguous language as well as any obscure jargon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report must meet the standards of the AIBQ <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Qu\u00e9bec Association of Building Inspectors (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aibq.qc.ca\/aibqeng\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AIBQ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) protects the public by supervising building inspectors active in Quebec. Its Standard of Practice is a document that informs the general public of the nature and scope of an inspection prior to the purchase of a property. You can consult it (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aibq.qc.ca\/aibq\/outils\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Norme de pratique<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in French) to learn about the association\u2019s inspection guidelines for both the inspection itself and production of the report. In addition, you will find definitions of the most important terms related to building inspection. Finally, the <\/span><b>AIBQ Standard of Practice is recognized by the courts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as the definition of best practices for the profession. This means that only a report meeting these standards can be used in a court decision in the case of a dispute.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits of a good quality inspection report<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quality <\/span><b>building inspection<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report provides you with complete, clear, and accurate information on the condition of the building you wish to purchase. Because the report is based on the inspector\u2019s knowledge and expertise, it is essential to making an informed decision on your purchase. By the same token, the report provides useful information on the maintenance work to plan or the repairs that need to be done. Whether litigation becomes necessary or not, you will be protected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conclude, do not hesitate to ask for an example of an inspection report before hiring your building inspector.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, it is advisable to hire a building inspection professional who is a member of the Ordre des ing\u00e9nieurs du Qu\u00e9bec (OIQ).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We invite you to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/genispec.com\/en\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
