Computer generated and hand-typed narrative reports often require reading through from front to back in order to determine whether the inspector found any significant defects. This is tedious and time consuming at best, although the narrative report does provide some liability protection and can be quite informative. Simple checklists show you the defects immediately but make no mention of the consequences of not making the repairs, never explain the meaning of construction terminology, and rarely help the buyer make informed decisions. The Uniform Building Inspection Report^TM provides the buyer with the best of both worlds. Ten "findings tables" are provided as a quick reference of defects, and over 200 pages of narratives for repair and maintenance tips, and obscure disclosures are provided for additional information. Agents are provided with copies of the "findings tables" alone, since most agents require only a sundry list of deficiencies and are rarely interested in reading narratives. Agents who are given a complimentary copy of the book find it invaluable in addressing their own client's questions and concerns.
