ILLUSTRATIVE PICTURE REPORTBuilding framingExample report · Toggle details
Visible unfilled holes in a joist connector need comparison with the required fastener pattern.
- Location context
- Fictional building project · Floor framing
- Detailed observation
- The connection has an inconsistent visible fastener pattern that warrants checking against the exact hanger model and approved framing detail. Empty holes alone do not prove incorrect installation: required holes, fastener type, length and pattern depend on the connector and design. The picture cannot establish embedment, concealed fasteners, bearing adequacy, design loads or structural capacity.
- What the assessor should look for
- Identify the connector model, approved framing detail and manufacturer’s required fastener schedule.
- Compare required holes with installed fasteners; verify type, diameter, length and compatible materials.
- Check bearing, timber condition and any split or damaged connection with the responsible building professional.
- Recommendation
- 1. Identify the location on the framing plan and record the connector model before concealment. 2. Have the authorized reviewer compare the installed pattern with the approved design and manufacturer’s listed installation. 3. If a deficiency is confirmed, arrange a qualified installer and any necessary engineer-directed support before disturbing the connection. 4. Use only the specified connector fasteners and compatible replacement hardware; do not substitute general-purpose screws or assume every unused hole requires a nail. 5. Recheck the completed connection and document the approved disposition before the work is covered.
- Closeout
- Record the model, approved detail, installed fastener specification, reviewer disposition and clear close-up and overview photos before concealment.

YOUR DOCUMENTS. YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
Bring your checklist.
Check the visible work.
Upload customer directions, guidelines, standards or contract requirements as PDF or Excel files. TruInspector Ai uses the relevant requirements alongside your photos and recorded videos to support a focused assessment.
2. Add the evidence
Identify the site, location and relevant area. Add photos or recorded video, select the assessment type, and attach your requirements for any specific priorities.
3. Review a traceable report
Relevant findings identify the customer document and available page, section or worksheet reference, explain the visible concern, and list corrective actions and missing field checks. Download the report as PDF or Excel.
Customer requirements are identified separately from official regulations. Confirm the applicable edition and scope; an upload does not establish legal applicability or certify compliance. Attachments stay within your signed-in workspace and are not included in public picture links.
Document-reading limits
Excel review uses up to the first 1,000 rows per worksheet and may summarize the content; embedded pictures and charts are not read. Export important diagrams and longer requirements sections as PDF. Use clear, unlocked documents and check source references in the report. Unreadable content, missing measurements, concealed conditions and requirements outside the evidence remain unverified. This is an assisted visual review, not a complete contract audit.

Torn weather barrier and lifted window flashingThe white weather-resistant wrap is torn beside the lower corner of the window, exposing brown sheathing. Black flashing at the corner appears wrinkled and lifted away from the surface.Read picture report
Torn weather barrier and lifted window flashingIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The visible tear and loose flashing interrupt the apparent continuity of the exterior water-control layers at a sensitive window corner. This creates a condition needing review before cladding covers it. The picture does not reveal the concealed sill pan, drainage path, substrate moisture, adhesion strength or whether the installation is still in progress; it does not prove an active leak.
What the inspector should look for
- Confirm installation stage, approved window detail and compatibility of the wrap, tape, primer and sealants.
- Inspect the full sill, jamb and head sequence, overlaps, adhesion and intended drainage openings.
- Check substrate condition and any moisture through appropriate field methods before closing the assembly.
Recommendation and work plan
1. Mark the affected corner and review the approved window and weather-barrier detail before installing cladding. 2. Remove or rework damaged and loose material as directed by the product manufacturer and responsible building professional. 3. Prepare a clean, dry, suitable substrate and install compatible replacement wrap patches, flashing tape and specified primer or sealant in the correct drainage sequence. 4. Preserve required drainage openings; do not cover the defect with an arbitrary bead of sealant. 5. Verify adhesion, laps and continuity, perform any required field test, and obtain the required review before concealment.
Closeout documentation
Keep before-and-after images of sill, jamb and head transitions, product compatibility information, completed field checks and the reviewer’s release for concealment.
Applicable requirement: Apply the governing state/local adopted building or residential code, permit conditions and approved exterior-wall details together with the relevant product installation instructions. Verify required flashing and drainage details; no leak or compliance result is established from this image. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
Open gap around a service penetrationA grey service passes through an oversized opening in a white board partition. A dark, irregular annular gap is visible between the service and cut edge, with no seal visible from this side.Read picture report
Open gap around a service penetrationIllustrative item image · Preliminary example
Detailed observation
The open perimeter needs comparison with the required partition assembly and construction stage. It may need an approved penetration treatment, but the image does not establish whether this partition is fire- or smoke-rated, the exact service type, assembly thickness, concealed treatment or the permitted opening size. An unsealed opening cannot be labeled a fire-code violation without that context.
What the inspector should look for
- Confirm the partition’s required rating, approved assembly and the purpose and material of the service.
- Measure the opening and annular space and compare with the applicable listed system or approved nonrated detail.
- Check both accessible sides, support, installation stage and required inspection before concealment.
Recommendation and work plan
1. Locate the penetration on the approved plans and establish the assembly rating and intended service. 2. Have the responsible trade and reviewer select the appropriate approved detail; where a rated assembly applies, identify a listed system matching the assembly, service and measured opening. 3. Prepare the opening and install the specified backing, sealant, collar or other system components only when that selected detail requires them. Do not use generic foam or caulk as an assumed firestop. 4. Follow the approved depth, support and installation requirements and complete the required inspection. 5. Photograph the completed work and retain the system/detail identification and reviewer disposition.
Closeout documentation
Record assembly and service identification, measured opening, approved detail or listed system, installed components and before-and-after evidence with the required review.
Applicable requirement: Verify the state/local adopted building and fire provisions, approved assembly and applicable tested/listed penetration system. A rating, required firestop system or compliance decision cannot be inferred from the photograph alone. An illustrative image does not establish a field measurement or compliance result.
All images and findings are illustrative. They show report structure and inspection topics, not actual field evidence or a compliance decision.
