ASHI parallel inspections

ASHI - ENDORSED HOME INSPECTION TRAINING

This program was developed by the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) to provide an opportunity for ASHI Associates to participate in real inspections under the guidance of an ASHI Certified Inspector.

A Parallel Inspection is...

An ASHI Parallel Inspection is defined in ASHI Policy 3.14A as a fee-paid home inspection conducted by an ASHI Certified Inspector with no more than two (2) Associates or Associates with Logo Use also inspecting the property and generating a full report simultaneously.

Upon completion of the inspection, the ASHI Certified Inspector will be required to review each ASHI Associate's report and offer suggestions to move the report into substantial compliance with the ASHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics. A checklist provided by ASHI must be signed by both parties attesting to the details of the inspection.

Parallel Inspections will qualify as fee paid inspections for credit toward the required number of inspections for ASHI Associate with Logo Use Privileges or ASHI Certified Inspector status. Parallel Inspections will qualify for 1 CE per inspection (for both the ASHI Certified Inspector and Associate) for a maximum of 10 CEs per year. A fee may be negotiated between the ASHI Certified Inspector and the Associate(s) for this service, but is not required.
