The information presented on this website is provided for general informational purposes only.
Independent Documentation Authority provides independent property documentation and related consulting services. IDA’s documentation is intended to establish an organized record of observable property conditions at a specific point in time.
Documentation Is Not an Inspection
Unless expressly stated within a specific engagement, IDA documentation is not a home inspection, engineering evaluation, appraisal, environmental assessment, code inspection, legal opinion, insurance adjustment, or construction defect determination.
IDA does not represent that documentation establishes the cause, extent, severity, value, code compliance, or future performance of any observed condition.
Documentation Is Not Advocacy
IDA operates as an independent documentation authority.
IDA does not act as an advocate for an owner, contractor, builder, developer, insurer, attorney, lender, buyer, seller, or other interested party when performing documentation services.
Site Content
Information contained on this website does not constitute legal, engineering, architectural, insurance, financial, or other professional advice.
Specific circumstances should be evaluated by appropriately qualified professionals where such expertise is required.
No Guarantee of Outcome
The existence of an IDA Condition Record does not guarantee a particular insurance, legal, construction, financial, or transactional outcome.
The value of documentation is in establishing and preserving an independent record of the conditions observed and documented within the scope of the engagement.
Scope Controls
The scope, limitations, deliverables, and terms applicable to a specific IDA engagement are governed by the applicable engagement agreement or service terms.
IDA’s Role
IDA documents what is observable. It does not determine what should be done about it.
