Hot Photos From A Draw Inspection

As real estate professionals probably everyone at Active Rain knows what a draw inspection is. The bank, often through a third party, wants a confirmation that the work is being completed as reported, and as money is requested, by the builder. I do a few of these, as do many home inspectors. Actually, I do very few of them but, depending on scheduling, they are something to schedule on an off day to make some coffee money for not much hassle. Basically you get to the site (which is often the biggest hassle depending on location) and shoot a few photos and see how far along, in your estimate, the work is. Take it back to the office and do the report online. The thing that I thought you might find amusing would be the types of photos they request. If you are in the early stages of the project, and even throughout the project, the two below are, in my experience, among the most requested. The first one is known as sanitary facility, porta-potty or outhouse. The second one is cleanup. Often, in fact, it is more a case of "not cleanup." There will be these little or big piles of debris all over. In the end they are hauled away.

Probably the most sought after photo

A close second

Thanks for looking.
