Conducting Inspections
Step 1: Open & Review Assignment
Before you start recording findings, read everything about the assignment.
Opening an assignment loads the inspection brief — a summary of everything the administrator has provided for this job. Take a few minutes to review it fully before beginning.
What to Review
- Property address — Confirm this matches the location you plan to visit.
- Inspection type — Annual, Move-In, Move-Out, Special, or other. The type determines which checklist sections appear.
- Scheduled date & time — The window during which access has been arranged.
- Scope of inspection — Which units, floors, or areas are included.
- Special instructions — Notes from the administrator, such as contact persons on site, access codes, or items to pay particular attention to.
- Attached documents — Prior reports, floor plans, or lease documents the administrator may have attached.
Starting the Inspection
Once you have reviewed the brief, click Begin Inspection. The status changes from Assigned to In Progress and your timer begins. You can now navigate to Step 2.
Do not click Begin Inspection until you are on site and ready to start. The inspection timestamp recorded in the report reflects when you clicked this button.
