1. Digital Report Link

A QR on the printed executive summary links to the full interactive inspection report with annotated photos, severity ratings, and standards references. Buyers review detail on their phone or computer.

2. Defect Navigation

The digital report links each defect item to the photo taken at that location. Buyers can also scan a QR left on-site at a defect location to jump directly to that item in the report.

3. Repair Contractor Links

Each defect item in the digital report optionally links to a recommended contractor pre-vetted by the inspector. Buyers get repair quotes without a separate search.

4. Standards References

A QR beside a defect description links to the relevant building code or standards paragraph. Buyers understand why something is flagged without needing technical knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should home inspection QR reports require a login?

Usually yes. The report contains sensitive property data. Require a buyer-specific login link emailed by the inspector.

Can QR codes remain on the property after inspection?

Defect QR stickers placed at inspection are intended to be removed. Confirm the protocol with the inspector and seller.
