01 / ASSESSMENT & REPORT

Understand visible conditions.

An inspection can help you organize observations and identify questions that need a qualified specialist.

  • Ask which areas and conditions are included
  • Confirm photos, video, and written observations
  • Agree the delivery date and report format

Your request starts a conversation. Availability, eligibility, price, report format and delivery timing must be confirmed before you authorize a visit.

02 / DOCUMENTATION ACCESS

Prepare records for your chosen team.

Keep original media, reports, and written questions organized so you can share the right information through a verified channel.

  • Keep dated original files and a backup
  • Confirm ownership, usage, and retention terms
  • Decide who needs access and to which records

The self-service workspace is free. Any professional visit or additional service needs a separate written scope, price and confirmation.

Before you authorize a visit

Ask four useful questions.

  1. Does the professional cover my location and property type?
  2. Who will visit, and which qualifications apply to this work?
  3. What will the inspection and report include?
  4. What will I pay, and when will I receive my records?

Documentation alone does not establish structural safety, insurance coverage, repair cost, or a claim outcome.

You don’t have to figure it all out at once.

Start with one useful step. Come back whenever you need the next one.
