• Photo Capture: Include photo capture fields throughout the checklist to allow inspectors to visually document damage or hazards under the floor.
• Automatic Report Generation: After completion, eAuditor Audits & Inspections can generate a professional report that can be shared with stakeholders, including photos and notes from the inspection.

This checklist helps ensure that all necessary checks are performed and any potential issues are documented, enhancing the safety and maintenance of the underfloor area. Would you like help with setting up a specific feature in eAuditor Audits & Inspections?
