- Photographs and graphics for clarification
- Links to pertinent websites for additional information
- Free 400-page home manual
- Information about a free on-line home maintenance service
NEW CONSTRUCTION: Typically, builders do not want to read through a full inspection report because there is too much detail, some boiler-plate discussion, discussion of items for the buyer only, etc. Therefore, in addition to the Internet-based report discussed above, we provide a separate punch-list that is submitted to the builder. The punch-list contains items we believe are the responsibility of the builder. The punch-list is a format the builder is comfortable with because it is a list with only the details needed. It is much more likely the builder will address items that are provided in a list form as opposed to a report with paragraphs of information. The punch-list is included at no extra charge.
