REPORT WRITING
FOR
HOME INSPECTORS





 Report Writing for Home Inspectors is the most comprehensive text on this topic ever compiled for home inspectors. Author Bob Mulloy (ASHI® #561 report writing instructor at Northeastern University) has spent years gathering and reviewing reports and developing quality report writing skills. The book is full of practical report writing information and illustrations that will guide you in developing a professional report writing format.

Hundreds of sample reports were donated with permission to reprint after contacting ASHI® inspectors nationwide. See how your report compares with others. The book explains that the best defense is a good contract and a good final report. Each report writing format is described with a goal of compliance with the ASHI Standards of Practice. This 398-page book is a must for a home inspector's library.

                "A home inspector has two lines of defense, a good contract and a
                    good report.  Report writing starts with the systematic observation
                    of the facts in the field, following the construction practice and the
                    ASHI Standards of Practice.  Facts are then recorded in a format
                    that presents pure, objective and unbiased evidence for the reader."

ASHI REPORTER, January 2000:  A review by Michael Holcomb:

"Observe, analyze and recommend" is the recurring theme in Bob Mulloy's book, Report Writing for Home Inspectors.  The author takes a practical approach in teaching novice and experienced inspectors the fine art of report writing.  Whether you're a veteran home inspector or simply debating the issue of joining the profession, this book has something of value for you.  Following the principles outlined in this book, the reader is taken on a page-by-page journey into the importance of quality report writing.  The author adheres to the same standards he proposes in writing reports - observation, analysis and recommendation.  Written in easy to understand language that is both entertaining and educational, this book is filled with hundreds of examples and illustrations.  The author is an experienced home inspector with a clear understanding of the hazards involved in reporting, and failing to report, conditions as they exist during the inspection process...."
