Some sample home inspection reports:
don’t just take our word for it.
ScribeWare Narrative Template
Built by ScribeWare founder and long-time inspector Dylan Chalk, this is a longer narrative-style report. It uses bulleted observations to handle multiple defects with the same system, and smaller comments for simple systems. Note the use of the all-caps blue titles to make the summary page easy to glance through. This template can be used for almost any job, from consults to commercial inspections, and is included with ScribeWare for those who want a detailed northern climate zone template.
ScribeWare Standard Photo Captions Workflow Template
This report by Scriber Mike Lagana shows a warm climate zone sample that has been customized from the ScribeWare default template designed around a photo caption-driven workflow. The idea is to boil your workflow down to clicking boxes to describe a building, and taking pictures and captioning them for your narrative comments. This template shows how quickly one can move over to ScribeWare using this template.
ScribeWare Standard Checkbox Template
This is based on a checkbox template but includes short narratives. This will work in any climate zone, and we offer a room-by-room or system-by-system version. It’s the quickest and easiest template to get started with.

Why ScribeWare shines for multi-inspector firms
We’ve always been laser-focused on making the best reports on the market. But we’re also really great for multi-inspector firms, too.
Built for teamwork
Just turn your team loose on a large project; all the data will sync together seamlessly into one easy-to-read report. With Wi-Fi or a decent cell connection, it will sync in real time. With poor or no service, just turn syncing off and have everything meld together when you return to the office.
Required items review
Our required fields feature and flagging functionality allows you to set specific data that each inspector needs to gather while on site. This helps you ensure consistent quality. Comments can also be flagged for review by senior staff; senior staff can see if required fields require review with just a quick glance.
Template and library syncing
When an admin saves a template or library change, that change becomes instantly available across your whole team. This feature makes template updating a breeze—and ensures the consistency and quality of every report.
Unlimited customization
With ScribeWare, you have unlimited modifier, boilerplate, and summary page customization, but that’s just the beginning. We also offer custom CSS to change the overall look of your HTML reports, and support custom URLs so your reports look like they come from your own email server.
