Repair inspection or re-inspection

[Eric Coates]

Occasionally, but not very often, I get asked to back to a home and check the repairs.  The recently switched to HIP from a Word-based document.  In the Word report, I could easily open the report and modify the summary pages to indicate if an item had been repaired or had not been repaired.  How can I do that in HIP?  Do you do repair inspections?  How do you produce a "report" of the repairs?  Thanks for your help.

There are a few ways to accomplish this.

Ask for the list of repairs requested for re inspection.

You are able to open up the original report at document your findings that way.

I usually start a blank report, enter clients info and then just note the areas of the re inspection. (you can select form options)

I even just use an email for the re inspection if there are only a few areas.

I hope you found this helpful, be glad to assist further.

What David said. Just open the inspection, edit and generate a new report. It's best to save it as a new file too so you have both copies.

Is there a way to keep the original summary statements in read and make the new/additions a different color?  Thanks.

Never go back and change the original report.  Simply issue a one page document stating the repairs to...xxxx were completed.  NEVER EVER change your original report.  It is for your protection
