Introduction
In today's fast-paced world, efficiency and accuracy in property inspections are more critical than ever. While traditional onsite inspections have been the industry standard for years, virtual inspections are gaining traction due to their flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and integration with advanced technologies like AI. However, we understand that some customers are hesitant to transition to virtual inspections, fearing that they might not meet the same rigorous standards as onsite inspections.
This case study was conducted to directly address these concerns by comparing the performance of virtual and onsite inspections side-by-side, with a special focus on the additional insights provided by AI analysis in addition to an AI
Objective
The objective of this case study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of virtual inspections with traditional onsite inspections. Our goal is to demonstrate that virtual inspections, enhanced by AI analysis, can match or exceed the accuracy, thoroughness, and overall value provided by onsite inspections.
Methodology
Inspection Selection
For this study, we selected a diverse range of properties, ensuring a mix of residential, commercial, and multifamily units to represent the various types of inspections we conduct.
