World's largest library of inspection narratives.
Thinking about how to say it?
We’re pleased to announce the release of the InterNACHI Inspection Narrative
Library.
In addition to the direct inspection experience of the author and various other
inspectors, these narratives were developed from a variety of sources including
the International Residential Code (IRC), technical data sheets and systems specifications from
various manufacturer's associations, installation manuals for a variety of building
products and various building science-related sites. Narratives are worded with
safety in mind, code is not quoted.
In many instances, an effort has been made to include both long and short narratives
describing the same condition in order to allow inspectors some choice in how
they present their reports. Where appropriate, narratives are included which give
the inspector a choice between recommending a structural engineer or a qualified
contractor for a particular condition.
Install these editable narratives into your inspection software and let them
save you time and make you money! In addition to reducing the amount of time you spend filling out reports, the
quality of your reports will improve and you’ll enjoy greater protection from
liability.
This library is the world’s largest collection of dedicated, industry-savvy General
Home Inspection narratives. With just a click of your mouse, you can describe
both proper and defective conditions and provide key component descriptions for all
the home systems and their accessible components in homes both old and new.
Designed to comply with the Standards of Practice of all major professional Home
Inspection organizations, these narratives are based on generally-accepted current
building standards, actual inspection experience and research from a wide variety
of sources. Authored by Certified Master Inspector/professional writer/NACHI.TV advanced education co-host Kenton Shepard, this library can save you years of writing and editing your own narratives!
"Other libraries have narratives that are way too short. Other's have narratives
that are way too long. Like Goldilocks once said... this one's just right! Many
thanks to Kenton for his years of work on this project." Nick Gromicko, Founder of InterNACHI.
Kenton also wrote this book for the ICC: http://www.iccsafe.org/e/prodsearch.html?stateInfo=JUXjjakkgzfjRBfb7537%7C13&words=9182S00 and InterNACHI's Green Building Course: http://www.nachi.org/greenbuildingcoursereleased2007.htm
