Read the scope and limitations first

Confirm the property, inspection date, standards followed, areas inspected, and access restrictions. A report can only address the work actually performed within its scope.

Connect photographs with descriptions

Photographs support findings but do not tell the whole story. Read the associated description and ask what was observed, what remains uncertain, and whether further evaluation is recommended.

Review follow-up recommendations

Some findings call for maintenance; others may require repair evaluation or a qualified specialist. Ask the inspector to clarify significance rather than treating every observation as the same kind of issue.

Keep the report for future reference
