I've got one in Word, but can't figure out how to post it. It's the same as what icisic7. Just email me if you want it.

Greg,

That is a nice layout for a field inspection.

Thanks
Steve

I buy the letter sized ten grid graph paper at either Staples or Office Max, around $10 for a package of six. I like the dark lines every ten spaces, easier to sketch to scale that way. Then I scribble notes all over the page, noting flooring, plumbing fixtures, etc within each room as I do a detailed floor plan sketch. That double checks my exterior measurements. If the rooms don't fit I must have made an error outside so then I go remeasure.

Starting Out

For those starting out, this system is great.

The Acculine™ design system gives you the ability to create and perfect draw plans, diagrams, patterns, geometrics — without using a ruler or straight edge. The perfect tool for contractors, appraisers, engineers, architects…etc.

Accu-Line

Actually, if you getting old and shaky and can't draw straight lines anymore, this is the ticket!

Field Inspection Form

Great Form Greg!

Here is another Field Inspection Form particularly useful for trainees. Based on the old 1004, it has lots of reminders.

I run it through the copier and put the sketch grid on the back.

Sorry I don't have the attribution. This was posted years ago.

This is an Excel spreadhseet. Modify as you like. The 5 x 5 block grid lines are graduated, use as 1 or 2 ft. The smaller increment lines will print lighter that the 5 x 5 boxes. Very easy on eyes when doing field sketch. This is legal size sheet.

The "feature checklist" works from outside the home in. Grid is 15 x 20 squares (150 x 200, or 75 x 100 ft)

There is plenty of room at top for clipboard, and plenty at bottom for additional notes, or add more boiler plate.

Hope this helps.

(Sorry - can only upload the pdf....if you really want in Excel, e-mail jandreas888@yahoo.com with "Spreadhsheet Request" in subject line, I check this every few days and will return an Excel file. The pdf view is a bit fuzzy even at 144dpi, but prints well in about 4 seconds on my Canon Pixma at super-draft-low-quality-ink-saving-mode.)

Sketch Forms

Any others? I really like Greg's form layout. But the grid layout lines are really dark and it would be hard to see your drawing. Hopefully he has another format with a differant sketch layout with lighter lines. I've pmed him to ask if he does. To me you have everything there on one page, I'm using two pages for field inspections now.

This is how my field sketch looks when it is printed. You can use a color printer to get the light blue lines with the black text at the top. It will cost more per sheet due to color printing. Some color printers may not be able to resolve the fine lines in a light blue color.

Edit... I'll post a version later that can be printed in "light gray" on a black and white laser printer.
