Im sure with all the inspectors that post to this site we could really get some good tips. It would be handy to have them in a single forum.
Heres some of mine:
1. Put some blue painters tape on the back side of your ladder (the side that goes against the house). This will help protect gutters and help you remember which side of the ladder to climb on (important if you have a little giant type ladder). Just remember to make sure that you dont have any slick spots as a result of the tape.
2. Print out your draft copies of reports using the draft black and white setting of your printer. Sure makes cartridges last a lot longer.
3. Know your report program well. I was using an MS word based report writing program. I struggled for quite a while sizing photos to add to it (I was sizing them with my mouse). After a while, I got smart and figured out how to size the photos through the program, saving me at least 20 minutes per report.
4. Make a checklist of all the tools you require and use it each time you go out to a job. That way your assured not to forget anything.
5. Always follow up with your clients after you have issued the report. They wont forget it
