Re: Why do my inspections seem to take so long?
I just write down what I find wrong, I trust my memory to recall the other details. I take a great number of pictures and refer back to the pictures if I can't recall something or I have a question. This saves a tremendous amount of time. Like Jack, my report has a good amount already filled in. So all I have to do is fill in the details for the property and the problems I find. Average time to inspect a 2000-3000sf home is 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Report production time is around 30 minutes or less, if it has only a few issues. I use 3D for my reporting software.
