Why going cheap is a really bad idea and what you should expect to pay. 

Modern inspection techniques not everyone is using: drones, camera poles, thermal imaging. 

Why damp meters aren’t damp meters. 

Difference between a good and bad report. What to look out for. 

Why have one in the first place: some examples of defects not obvious to a lay person.
