Home inspection photography in Kenya: Delivery Planning and Acceptance Checks
Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Plan delivery around observable acceptance
Plan the handover and acceptance record for home inspection photography, using the specific checkpoints for the example offer.
This is a planning reference for home inspection photography. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional sample order: A non-invasive photographic condition record of one two-bedroom apartment: approximately forty selected images plus a room-indexed PDF/contact sheet and original image files. Owner or authorised tenant consents to access and recipients. No structural, electrical, pest, valuation or legal opinion is supplied. The record shows visible condition at the visit, not proof that concealed defects do not exist.
This page is a work-control sheet. It does not teach a qualified trade, prescribe a food process, approve equipment or replace the appropriate technical procedure. Confirm who has the competence and authority for any specialist task.
Prepare the control record
| Stage to schedule | Checkpoint from the scoped example | Actual record to complete |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The delivery recipient and retention period are written before shooting. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| 2 | Metadata is preserved but never represented as tamper-proof evidence. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| 3 | A close-up can be located in its room without guessing; no dangerous access for a better angle. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| 4 | No retouch removes stains, cracks or damage from the condition record. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
| 5 | Open sample files and check forty-image target against actual usable count; identify inaccessible areas. | Responsible person; evidence/reference; measured result; pass/hold decision; correction owner |
Keep accepted and unresolved work separate
| Issue to watch for | Evidence question |
|---|---|
| Close-up cannot be located | Compare image sequence with room overview and index. |
| Camera time is wrong | Check independent visit notes and original metadata. |
| Private document appears in an image | Review agreed exclusions and whether a safe viewing copy can omit the private detail. |
The issues above are prompts to investigate, not a diagnosis of a real defect. Record what was observed, isolate the affected output where appropriate, and refer the technical decision to the competent person or approved process. Do not copy a hypothetical response into a real incident without assessment.
Reconcile the handover
Use the agreed charging basis: photo report. Record ordered, completed, accepted, held and rejected output separately. Track rework time, changed scope, credits and collection dates against the same order reference. Open sample files and check forty-image target against actual usable count; identify inaccessible areas.
Proceed within a defined trial limit only after the buyer's acceptance, actual full costs and collections are recorded, and the guide's unresolved checks are addressed. The final business-specific checkpoint is: Open sample files and check forty-image target against actual usable count; identify inaccessible areas. Otherwise record a hold, revision or stop decision in file 10.
References and their limits
Canon file numbering and date
Manufacturer explains numbering and camera-clock dependence. A file timestamp is not proof of legal authenticity. Reference check recorded 2026-10-26.
NCA functions and contractor register
Official route for construction competence and contractor information; photographic observations are not structural or statutory certification. Reference check recorded 2026-10-26.
Recorded references support only the scope stated beside them. They do not prove current supplier stock, a local quotation, actual buyer demand, operator competence or the feasibility of this particular business. Later editorial changes do not refresh earlier source-check dates.
Prepared by Business Starter Guides using AI-assisted drafting and desk editorial checks. Independent operator trials and specialist certification are not claimed. See the editorial method for the review scope.
