Features that set you apart from the pack

Here are a few features that set us apart from the competition:

1. Print/Format: At any time in the report writing process you can generate the report using one of many different formats and styles. You can choose a Grid, Checklist, or Narrative format with several different variations and color choices, add icons at sections, and more. You can choose a special cover page or create your own. You can include just the sections of the report you want, and remove anything you don't need.
2. Customizable reporting your way! With HomeGauge you can make templates yourself or edit an existing one to create/modify the report to fit your style. Easily add new sections, items, rename, etc.
3. Pictures, Thermal Imaging and Line Drawings: HomeGauge automatically compresses pictures for the web. Add arrows, circles, text, grids, etc. to pictures easily. By far the quickest and easiest in picture editing and multiple picture features.
4. Use Video in your report! Easily add video clips at any item in the report! Watch our video tour to see how to make your report standout as an Inspection Presentation!
5. NEW! 360° images make it an immersive experience! Set yourself apart by offering homebuyers and agents a tour that no other provider can deliver. One quick snapshot lets your clients explore 360° panoramic views right within the report. It’s the next best thing to being there in person. See a sample.
6. Attach Documents, PDFs, MS Docs, and html docs to any report: Easily attach any type of document to a report and set it to automatically attach in the future if it is a regularly attached document. You can attach as many documents as you need..
7. Upload Report or send by PDF: Use our HG Services to authenticate and manage report delivery or email your report as an attachment.
8. Auto-Attach Line Drawings and documents to an auto-comment. Set up an auto-comment to automatically include a line drawing or a document when used. This works well to show a diagram and specs of a proper component's condition compared alongside a picture of the home's component, or to include information about a particular brand or component regarding a hazard or potential hazard.
9. Auto-include comments in the report at start up. Have comments automatically load in your report (great for limitation clauses, check the smoke detector and filter recommendations etc.)
10. Merge Reports from multiple inspectors into one report: This can be done on different devices such as a mobile phone or Windows computer.
11. Report Auto Fill: Save time by saving sections of a report (or all sections of a report) that can be applied to future inspections. For example, subdivisions where the exterior is identical or start off with a completed report selecting various report fills based on the type of home and its materials.
12. Auto-Comments and Smart Sentences: Add or edit auto-comments on the fly. Use standard drop down comments or use smart words that represent multiple replacement text choices for speedy reporting.
13. Re-Inspection feature: This feature makes re-inspections profitable again. Now you can automatically create a copy of the original report, hide all items but summary items and Pass or Fail the item using your own auto-comment time stamp.
14. Estimates and Work Scope: From basic estimates displayed at the summary items to a full estimate/quote with multiple project options and work write-ups with estimate totals.
15. Duplicate Sections of the report: Use this feature while you inspect to duplicate rooms, bathrooms, heat systems, units, or suites.
16. Quick Click Sections: Finish fast when checking off all the good or inspected items with a quick double click!
17. Inspector Tips at each item: You can store your own tips at each inspection item for clearances, code/safety related info, etc. that is just for you to see, or use it to train a new inspector.
