Turn an inspection report into a repair plan
An inspection report identifies findings within the inspector’s scope. A useful next step is to turn those findings into clear questions, repair priorities and work that can be verified and priced.
Separate findings from your wish list
Keep reported concerns distinct from the design changes you want. That makes it easier to discuss urgent investigation, maintenance, repairs and optional customization without losing sight of your budget.
Clarify the scope before treating an allowance as a bid
Ask what needs a specialist, what can be checked on site and what remains concealed. A repair allowance is a planning figure; a construction proposal should describe the verified work and exclusions.
Bring the report you already have
Send your existing inspection report for staff review and repair planning. Keep reported findings separate from your improvement goals. A new licensed home inspection is a separate service.
Questions to bring to your next conversation
- Which findings need investigation before a repair is priced?
- What do you want to repair, maintain or customize?
- What access and information are needed for a written scope?
