Inspect and Protect was written as a protocol for avoiding litigation, for building inspectors. It is comprised of dozens of essays that were written and published in various magazines, in which inspectors were warned about the threat that litigation poses to their livelihoods. If all litigation was fair and honest there would be no need for concern, but it is not, as this book documents with actual case histories. And, unfortunately, the threat is growing. The good news is that it takes very little effort for inspectors to protect themselves; it is simply a matter of understanding the threat, and then making a few fundamental changes in the way they inspect and report on properties.
Writing can be difficult for people who have had little use for it, and particularly people who grew up working with their hands, like many inspectors, which is why check- sheets have featured so prominently in our industry, but thanks to the threat of litigation check-sheets are on the decline. For this reason, I’ve published a twenty-one page booklet on the subject written specifically for inspectors, which summarizes the best that has been taught on the subject and, thereby, simplifies the learning process as much as is possible.
