This is a sample, not a customer report. The property, the documents and every quotation below are fictional — written to show you what a Deal Report looks like before you upload anything of your own.
This is not an inspection, engineering, legal or appraisal opinion.
Every Finding quotes the sentence behind it. Clicking a Source in a real report opens the original page with the passage highlighted; here, the quoted passage is shown beside each Finding.

Each line of work carries a cost range and, just as important, where that range came from. A number with no source is a guess; PropertyScope tells you which kind it is.
