Set common fields without flattening property differences
Owners can compare findings more easily when each building record uses consistent fields: address, roof area, observed material, drainage and perimeter details, photographs, examination date, reported concern and recommended next step. Each entry should also identify what was not accessible or remains concealed. Use the same fields to compare reports, then keep each building’s photos, roof assembly, access limits and repair recommendation attached to its own record.
Installation plans and prior work records can help explain a roof, but a portfolio spreadsheet does not confirm present condition. We distinguish details taken from records from what an examination shows now, then keep each property's authorized representative and roof history attached to its own entry. Located condition findings can support a comparison, while a survey for a specific property decision answers a distinct scope.
Use consistent portfolio fields for system, roof section, repair date, material, warranty, and open condition, while keeping each inspection’s photos and scope unique to that roof. Comparisons then remain useful without averaging out different building risks.
