    • Capture clear photos of any issues or deficiencies he finds (e.g., cracks in the foundation, faulty wiring).
    • Record voice notes for detailed observations or explanations.
  3. Seamless Report Generation:
    • After the inspection: David uses the FormConnect app to: Automatically generate a professional-looking inspection report based on the completed checklist, photos, and notes.
    • Customize the report with the client’s information, property details, and his company logo.
  4. Client Communication & Delivery:
    • David can then: Email the completed report directly to the client from the app.

Why inspectors outgrow paper and generic notes

  • Room-by-room observations need photos and notes tied to the same report section.
  • Clients expect a polished PDF the same day — not a retyped Word document overnight.
  • Inspectors work in attics, crawlspaces, and homes with weak connectivity.
