🌏The Narrative Template

ScribeWare's default Narrative Template produces a narrative style report that can be used for residential, light commercial, full condo, interior condo, and consultation inspections.

This is a narrative-style template that includes all of the needed pull-downs to describe the building. This includes a well-flushed-out library with thousands of comments, as well as gunnysack comments and parent-type comments that can be used with photo and caption techniques. This template can be used for residential inspections, light commercial inspections, condo inspections, interior-only inspections, one-item inspections, consultations, and more. It is designed as a report that you can get 50-90% done on-site and finish the report back in the office.
