What to include in your brief

Choosing the right professional
Ask the provider to define what can be assessed and what needs another specialist. A catch-all inspection title should never substitute for a clear commission or imply authority to certify matters outside the provider's role.
Important considerations
- An undefined inspection can fail to answer the real question
- Specialist concerns may be routed to the wrong professional
