The Report

You will receive a comprehensive computer generated narrative report.  (no check list style reports) Included in the report is an in-depth description of the building and its condition.  Every report contains cost estimates to repair or  replace defective components that may be discovered during the inspection.

Also included, as part of the report, is an extensive maintenance manual, cost projections tables for future repairs or remodeling, and life expectancy charts for various elements of the building.
