Add an inspection

Create a new inspection, enter the property and client details, and pick a template.

Creating an inspection captures the property, clients, recipients, fee, and the template(s) you'll fill out. You can start from the sidebar at any time.

Start a new inspection

Click Add Inspection near the top of the sidebar. A four-step form opens.

Step 1 — Property address

Enter the street, optional second line, city, state, and zip code for the property being inspected.

Step 2 — Clients

Add at least one client with their name, email, and phone. You can add more than one client (for example, a couple buying a home).

Client email addresses matter later: only clients with an email can be sent a signable report when you publish. See Publishing & sharing reports.

Step 3 — Agents & recipients (optional)

Add the buyer agent (name, email, phone, company) and any additional recipient emails. Recipients receive a view-only copy of the published report — they can read it but can't sign it.

Step 4 — Template, date & fee

  • Inspection Templates — select one or more templates to fill out. This defaults to your (or your organization's) default template. See Using templates.
  • Date Scheduled — pick the inspection date.
  • Inspection Fee — enter the fee. If you've saved a default fee, it fills in automatically; selecting a single template can also pull in that template's default fee. See Set a default inspection fee.

Review the summary card, then click Add Inspection. You'll land on the inspection's Details page.

Editing details later

On the inspection's Details page you can update the address, clients, recipients, fee, and date, and set a headline photo for the report cover. These details lock once the report is published — unpublish to edit them again.

Free accounts can create up to 5 inspections. After that you'll be prompted to subscribe. Deleting an inspection does not free up a slot. See Subscriptions & billing.
