The State's form, done before you leave the driveway.
For licensed Texas home inspectors. Narrate what you see and photograph it as you go, and Doxvora writes the report. Each observation lands in its section of the TREC REI 7-6, and of the SPCS T-5 if you hold the license, with the right photo attached.
The inspection is one job. The report is another.
The hours on the property are the work you are licensed to do, and they are where your value shows up. The write-up afterward is a second job, and it is administrative.
The way it goes now
You spend two or three hours on the property looking, testing, photographing and making notes. Then you sit down and do it a second time as paperwork, section by section, until what you already knew in the driveway exists in the form the State requires.
The way it goes with Doxvora
You describe what you find the way you would say it to a partner standing next to you. It lands in the right section, with the photo you just took, written the way the report needs it written. The hours the second job was taking are yours again.
Capture, clarify, deliver.
Capture
Talk through the house in whatever order the property calls for: the exterior first, the attic while it is still cool. Photos attach to what you were saying.
Clarify
Each observation lands in its section of the REI 7-6. One sentence about soil above the weep line is a grading item on the 7-6 and a conducive condition on the T-5.
Deliver
The State's form, page for page, with your cover and your signature, on your client's page before you leave.
One inspection. Every report.
A home inspection and a termite inspection are separate services and separate reports. They are not separate jobs.
You note that the soil in the back flowerbeds is piled above the weep line. That is a grading and drainage item on the REI 7-6 and a conducive condition on the SPCS T-5. You describe the property once, and each report takes what belongs to it.
Wrap up makes sure the form is complete.
An opinion on the foundation, the roof covering, a static water pressure reading: one question per screen, and only the ones you have not answered.
The services you offer.
Property inspection
The promulgated TREC REI 7-6, each section carrying the four marks the Commission defines, with the deficiency summary your client reads first.
Wood destroying insect
The SPCS T-5, structure diagram included, from the same narration as the property inspection rather than a second pass through the house.
The Standards are in your pocket.
TREC's and the SPCS T-5's, searchable while you are standing in front of the thing you are unsure about, one tap from every section of the form.
