Module 2 – Preparing for and Conducting the Inventory | National Inventory Certification Association

Question #1: Hazards you could face when providing structure inventory services can include no heat, air condition, or running water.

Question #2: Always provide a detailed, signed contract (or agreement) with both your and your client’s signatures.

Question #3: A Statement of Work is not necessary to define the scope of your project. Just taking notes during a conversation will be sufficient.

Question #4: There is no set format or manner to compile a structure inventory, but it is suggested to establish a set process.

Question #5: Very few photographs are needed since you aren’t taking photos of details – only the structure.

Question #6: Templates of checklists are readily available on the internet.

Question #7: The written report should be sorted alphabetically by defects rather than room-by-room.

Question #8: Driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping are not listed since they are not part of the structure.

Question #9: Sometimes you will need to include contents as part of your structure inventory service.

Question #10: Extra batteries and a charger are essential pieces of equipment you should have with you when doing a structure inventory.
