Also, they have been compiled by leading experts in the field of building inspections\u201d says David Hutchison of Property Inspect.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>SAHITA has also negotiated a significant discount for the Property Inspect software.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>John Graham, Principal of SAHITA, has welcomed the partnership with Property Inspect which will enable SAHITA-trained home inspectors to quickly, comprehensively and accurately produce inspection reports on existing buildings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The first SAHITA-designed templates to launch on the Property Inspect platform are:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The SAHITA Detailed Template for Existing Buildings<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The SAHITA Short Template for Existing Buildings<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Both of these templates provide inspectors with a practical software tool to inspect existing buildings in accordance with the content of the detailed SAHITA online building inspector course. The curriculum for this course aligns with the QCTO-approved curriculum for a National Building Inspector Qualification.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The SAHITA templates are available exclusively to SAHITA graduates.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Features of this new inspection tool include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The ability to quickly capture data onsite, using a smartphone or other handheld device. \u00a0 This data includes images, \u201csmart text\u201d and custom remarks regarding any component, or installation in almost any South African building.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>The smart text dictionary, which is built-into the software, contains virtually all materials and conditions which the inspector may find during the inspection.\u00a0 This smart-text dictionary covers more than 1\u00a0500 brief descriptions of materials and typical conditions (defects). \u00a0 The dictionary is organised systematically so the inspector can quickly and easily select relevant text on the inspector\u2019s device.\u00a0 Graham explains that this unique smart text dictionary acts both as a \u201cchecklist\u201d for the inspector to ensure that the inspection covers every required aspect of the building and also provides accurate references to SANS 10400 and other national building standards. \u00a0 The smart text facility also reduces the possibility of spelling and grammar errors and facilitates the production of a comprehensive, accurate and professional report in the shortest time.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>With every inspected item, the inspector also has the opportunity to input customised comments so as to address any unusual or unique feature of the item being inspected.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Graham says the Property Inspect software is exceptionally user-friendly. \u201cIt allows the inspector to \u201cswipe away\u201d items not relevant to the particular inspection, to copy additional rooms or areas of the property, and to review and edit the inspection data on a PC if the inspector wishes\u201d.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Invoice clients for completed jobs directly from the Property Inspect system.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The SAHITA-Property Inspect software is available now to SAHITA graduates by monthly subscription for only R950 pm.
