Inspection Services

Ethics & SOP

Inspection Services follow the Standards of Practice and Ethics of both ASHI & FABI.

  • Client Inspections benefit from both organizational Resources and Standards.

  • ASHI - Since 1976, has been dedicated to upholding the highest standards.

    American Society of Home Inspectors - ASHI

  • FABI - Since 1984, has formally helped by focusing in on FL structures and needs.

    Florida Association of Building Inspectors - FABI

  • ASHI and FABI Standards of Practice guide Inspections & set expectations.

  • ASHI and FABI SOP’s are mutually compatible.

  • The FABI Scope of Work extends beyond ASHI, to more specific FL structural concerns.

UPDATE: 1/8/26 - ASHI Standards of Practice Update - New Standards Approved‍ ‍

  • When the SOP is formally adopted by ASHI, it will be utilized for Inspections.

  • This website will be updated relatively soon after the adoption date is set.

  • Read the current and newly approved SOP here, with changes shown in red.

Scope of Work

  • Each Inspection Service corresponds with a particular Scope of Work.

  • The proposed SOP will be emailed to each Client during the Scheduling process.

Monitoring

  • Property maintenance unfortunately only begins with Inspections.

  • Ownership requires a watchful eye and ability to adapt.

  • As time passes, systems can require upkeep and concerns can arise.

  • Monitoring situations is paramount to success.
