Isn't it standard procedure to have a clause in the report stating that estimates cannot be relied upon and that independent estimates from licensed contractors must be obtained? Also... who is to say that the rapper didn't get taken advantage of by a construction company that underbid the job and then kept adding costs until they made enough money? I see that happening all the time. It sounds like 2.7 million dollars worth of repairs would also include aesthetic and functional options that were desired by the rapper, but not necessary to make the house livable. It's not the inspectors fault that he didn't write down the 500k dollar diamond encrusted chandelier that should be hanging in the foyer.

I use pocket word on my ipaq handheld to take my notes during the inspection; however, I do not use an inspection program. My reports are narrative and are emailed out to my clients in the evening. Pictures are emailed with the report in a separate .zip file. I should embed the pictures within the report; however, my clients usually know what I am referring to since I give them a verbal report as well as point out the noted problems at the end of the inspection. I typically only edit the photos and label them if there are additional questions after the report is read.
