How long does a home inspection report take?

With a traditional inspector, the on-site visit takes a few hours and the written report usually arrives within a day or two, depending on the inspector's workload and the size of the house. A photo-based AI inspection removes the scheduling step: Askitect returns a property condition report within one hour of upload.

The traditional timeline

Three things add up: waiting for an appointment, the inspection itself, and the time the inspector needs to write and send the report. In a busy market the appointment can be the longest part. Most buyers plan around the inspection contingency period in their contract, which sets the real deadline.

What changes with an AI report

An AI inspection starts when you have photos, not when an inspector is available. With Askitect you photograph the areas you want inspected, upload them, and receive a professional AI property condition report within one hour. That makes it practical to check a property before a showing, to re-check one area after a repair, or to review a house you cannot easily visit again.

Photos, then report

Two steps: collect clear photos of any area you want inspected, then access the report. The report covers every major system visible in your photos and is delivered as a PDF you can save and share.
