How to Write a Visit Report

Whether you’re a student or a professional, a visit report helps you document the procedures and processes at an industrial or corporate location. These reports are fairly straightforward. Describe the site first and explain what you did while you were there. If required, reflect on what you learned during your visit. No additional research or information is needed.

Things You Should Know

  • Check the report requirements before writing down general information about the visit. Explain the site’s purpose, operations, and what happened during the visit.
  • Identify the site’s strengths and weaknesses. Add recommendations for improvement and describe what you learned there if you’re a student.
  • Give your report a title page, write clearly and objectively, and include relevant pictures in the report. Proofread it carefully before submitting it.

Describing the Site

Step 1 Look over the requirements of your visit report.

  • Reports are usually only 2-3 pages long, but in some cases, these reports may be much longer.
  • In some cases, you may be asked to give recommendations or opinions about the site. In other cases, you will be asked only to describe the site.
  • Ask your boss or instructor for models of other visit reports. If you can't get a model, look up samples online.

Step 2 Start the paper with general information about the visit.

  • If you visited a factory, explain what it is producing and what equipment it uses.
  • If you visited a construction site, describe what is being constructed and how far along the construction is. You should also describe the terrain of the site and the layout.
  • If you’re visiting a business, describe what the business does. State which department or part of the business you visited.
  • If you’re visiting a school, identify which grades they teach. Note how many students attend the school. Name the teachers whose classes you observed.

Step 4 Explain what happened during the visit in chronological order.

  • Who did you talk to? What did they tell you?
  • What did you see at the site?
  • What events took place? Did you attend a seminar, Q&A session, or interview?
  • Did you see any demonstrations of equipment or techniques?

Step 5 Summarize the operations at the site.

  • For example, at a car factory, describe whether the cars are made by robots or humans. Describe each step of the assembly line.
  • If you're visiting a business, talk about different departments within the business. Describe their corporate structure and identify what programs they use to conduct their business.

Reflecting on Your Visit

Step 1 Describe what you learned at the site if you’re a student.

  • Is there something you didn’t realize before that you learned while at the site?
  • Who at the site provided helpful information?
  • What was your favorite part of the visit and why?

Step 2 Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the site.

  • For example, you might state that the factory uses the latest technology but point out that employees need more training to work with the new equipment.
  • If there was anything important left out of the visit, state what it was. For example, maybe you were hoping to see the main factory floor or to talk to the manager.

Step 3 Provide recommendations for improvement if required.

  • Tailor your recommendations to the organization or institution that owns the site. What is practical and reasonable for them to do to improve their site?
  • Be specific. Don’t just say they need to improve infrastructure. State what type of equipment they need or give advice on how to improve employee morale.

Formatting Your Report

Step 1 Add a title page to the beginning of your report.

  • If you are following a certain style guideline, like APA or Chicago style, make sure to format the title page according to the rules of the handbook.

Step 2 Write in clear and objective language.

  • Don’t just say “the visit was interesting” or “I was bored.” Be specific when describing what you learned or saw.

Step 3 Include any relevant pictures if desired.

Once you have the introduction written out, take 1 to 2 paragraphs to describe the purpose of the site you visited, including details like the size and layout. If you visited a business, talk about what the business does and describe any specific departments you went to. Then, summarize what happened during your visit in chronological order. Make sure to include people you met and what they told you. Toward the end of your report, reflect on your visit by identifying any strengths and weaknesses in how the site operates and provide any recommendations for improvement.

Site visit reports

Key stages of conducting a site visit outside the university and reporting your observations and findings.

When you visit a site, company, institution, plant or other location outside the university to observe how your field of study operates in practice, you are often required to write about what you saw. Whether you have to write a standalone report or record your observations for a larger piece of assessment, following the stages below will help you get the most out of your site visit.

Before your visit

Your visit might be the only chance you have to collect information about the site that is not available from other sources.

To prepare for your site visit:

  • Review your subject material in the LMS and your notes, and brainstorm what you already know about the site.
  • Do some preliminary research about the site in relevant library databases and online, so you know what information is already available in published sources.
  • Make a list of the information you think you need to collect at the site.
  • Prepare questions to ask staff at the site, if they will be available.

Collate the materials you will need to refer to at the site, e.g. your task brief, list of information to collect and questions, in a format you can access easily while on the move. Ensure that you have a reliable way to take notes, and that your phone has plenty of charge for taking photos.

A notebook or document with prepared headings makes it easy to record the information you need. You should also make sure you:

  • Complete any forms or health and safety requirements for your subject.
  • Know how to get to the site, and who to contact if you are delayed.
  • Wear clothing that is appropriate to the site conditions and the weather.

During your visit

To maximise the information you gather:

  • Take notes of any impressions or observations you have, of all aspects of the visit, under subheadings. Extra notes can help you recall important details you may not have realised were relevant at the time.
  • Record voice messages or memos of insights as they happen to avoid having to rely on your memory.
  • Take photos from different perspectives. If you need to include images in your assessment, you will be glad you have a range to choose from. You may not have a chance to return to the site to take more photos if you missed something important on the day.
  • Ask questions when you have the opportunity. If you meet any staff at the site, they are likely to expect you to ask questions and are usually happy to answer.

Gathering as much information as possible during the site visit will give you a wider range of material to draw from when you are preparing your report or assessment, and you will be able to produce a more accurate and polished piece of work.

Sections of a site visit report

Site visit reports may vary from subject to subject, so you should always check the information you’ve been given in your assessment brief or in other subject material. If your site visit report contains the following features, these explanations may help you gain a sense of the purpose of various sections:

Include the title of the visit or project, name of the site, the date of the site visit, and your name and student number. You may also need to include your tutor’s name, your tutorial group, or your team members for group assignments.

An executive summary is a condensed version of the whole report. It typically contains a few sentences on the background and location of the site, the purpose of the report, a statement about what was observed, and a few sentences that offer a conclusion or recommendations.

The introduction of the report should set the context for the level of observation conducted on the site visit. Include the importance of what is being observed and what you can learn from those observations. This might be, for example, to address a problem or provide a solution in another location.

This section is highly dependent on your context. It may involve explaining procedures and processes, such as chemical processes, construction, or commercial operations of a plant, or how certain features of the site are arranged.

In the final section, you should sum up the key findings from the site visit and comment on the implications of these findings, and you may also give recommendations if that is appropriate to the task.  If you are required to reflect on your experience, try and make connections between what you have observed at the site and what you have learned in your subject.

Provide references to literature and published sources if you are required to integrate these into your site visit report.

Write up your findings as soon as possible after your site visit. The sooner you write your report, the more you’ll remember.

Reflection / Observation

If you are asked to write a reflection of your visit, try to:

  • Make links between theory and practice, i.e. what you’ve been doing in your subject, what you’ve read, any previous professional experience you have in the field and the practices you observed at the site.
  • Demonstrate in your reflection that you understood the most important features of the site.
  • Evaluate and discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of the processes and procedures you observed (e.g. technology, efficiency).

A site visit is far more than an excursion or trip. It is an excellent opportunity to gain insights into how your area of study operates in practice, and if you adequately prepare to collect extensive information during your visit, you will be able to produce a higher quality report or assessment as well.

For businesses, the contents of your visit report can affect and influence potential mergers, partnerships, as well as financial negotiations. This is why it is important for you to create an organized and accurate report for your business. To help you create your own visit report, we have provided in this article the steps for writing a report , as well as other important information that will guide you in effectively developing one.

Importance of a Visit Report

A visit report is a document that outlines information regarding an individual’s visit to a specific site, whether it is for business or for students in a particular field required to observe and collect information. To help you further understand the importance of a visit report, the reasons why a visit report is essential are as follows:

  • The information contained in a visit report can be used to evaluate a specific location or site. Through a visit report, you will be able to observe and gather information may it be for the purpose of examining the physical condition of a site, the performance of workers and employees, or basically the overall status of the location. You can also like company reports .
  • A visit report can also provide you with a clear and detailed information that will be useful if you want to improve certain aspects of a particular site.
  • A visit report can also help you determine if a specific site is exposed to certain risks based on how they operate on a daily basis. Through this, you will be able to properly manage these risks to prevent accidents or injuries in the site or location.
  • The information included in a visit report can help provide you with the right data and information so you can effectively create an action plan that will not only benefit the business but also the condition of the site.

Steps for Writing a Visit Report

There are certain steps that you need to take in order to effectively create and develop your own visit report. As we have mentioned above, it is important that you collect as much information from the site as possible based on your observation. In order for you to be able to write your own visit report, we have listed below the steps for writing a visit report.

The essential steps are as follows:

  • Before you start your site visit, ensure that you have all the necessary materials that you will need. This is an important step in order for you to be able to craft an effective and highly usable visit report. You may also like job fair reports .
  • Observe and gather data by taking notes during your site visit. You can collect data by asking questions from the individuals present on the site and you can also request for documents such as chart templates , reports, graphs, and so on. With this, the data that you will collect is accurate.
  • Create a draft of your visit report based on the information and data that you have gathered during your site visit. Doing this as soon as possible is essential since the details are still new. This ensures that all the information from your visit is collected and presented in the document. You can create a draft using your company’s site visit form or you can download from the templates available on our website. You may also like  trip report samples .
  • After you have created a draft of your visit report, start writing your visit report by detailing the basic information. This includes the name of the site that you have visited, the address, the contact information, your arrival, as well as your departure dates, and the purpose and performance objective of your visit to the site. You can also include other structural information in the document.
  • Create an introduction that contains a description of the entity or site that you have visited. For example, you can write in detail the products and the services offered by the entity or business that you have visited. Also, include the names of the individuals that you have interacted with during your site visit. You may also like construction report samples .
  • List down all the things that you have learned from your visit to the site and include all the necessary information that you may want to include in your document.
  • Attach the documents that you have collected from your site visit. This is useful to support the information and data that you have laid out in your visit report. Ensure that you file these documents in the order based on how the information is organized in your report.

Important Guidelines to Remember When Creating a Visit Report

There are certain guidelines that you need to take into account when crafting a visit report. Since a visit report is a formal document , you need to make sure that you will properly format and outline every visit report that you will create. Here are some of the important guidelines that you need to remember when developing your own visit report:

  • Keep your visit report to a maximum of five pages. A visit report that contains more than five pages is not only unnecessary but will also make the reader/s skip certain parts of the document.
  • Since a visit report is a formal document , the most ideal and appropriate font style to use is Times New Roman.
  • Avoid using a small font size. To ensure that your visit report can be easily read by readers, ensure that you keep your font size not less than 12 points.
  • Incorporate bullet points, subtitles, and other elements when creating your visit report. This will allow the readers of your report to easily navigate the pages and topics presented in your document.
  • Always proofread your visit report before finalizing the document. Check for any typographical errors, misspellings, and ensure that the punctuations used are correct. You can also like inspection reports .

Just like any formal document, ensuring that the information presented in your visit report is accurate and organized is important. Ensure that you follow the guides that we have presented in this article.

Additionally, should you need other types of reports, you can browse through our selection of different report samples and templates, as well as other types of documents available on our website. A few of the samples available include a sample performance report , project proposal report , and more.

How to Write a Visit Report

by Kimberlee Leonard

Published on 22 Jan 2019

One of the most reliable ways to determine how well a business is faring is by using a visit report. Are your external operations doing as well as they should? Is your preschool or care facility up to code and ready for licensing? By writing a comprehensive visit report, you can determine whether a wide variety of business objectives are being met. Visit reports, sometimes called trip reports, are a great way to find out whether your business standards are being carried out on site in the way you planned.

Format the Report

Visit reports are business documents. Depending on the organization or industry, the report may follow a memorandum format or a business template. Generally, choose a memo format if the visit report is going to a group of internal leadership members. Choose a more formal business report template if the visit report will be provided to external sources. Use standard business formatting that includes professional type fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial. Maintain 1-inch margins.

State the Objectives

Explain the reason for the visit. The objectives include the frequency of the visit, along with primary metrics or areas of review. For example, the visit might be the first in a series of four conducted over the course of a year to review the implementation of new policies or production metrics. Clearly state what you were looking for in the visit, including previous visits, recommendations or plans of action.

This report is to determine whether Plainview School has met all licensing requirements for after-school daycare.

Discuss Feedback and Key Insights

Note the identity of key individuals interviewed during the visit. Visits might include meetings with key leadership personnel at the location, such as managers or directors of operations. It is also common practice to meet with lower level staff that are more familiar with operations processes.

Individuals interviewed included Sarah Winters, school principal, school nurse Emily Thorn, Rick Marden, elementary teacher and Carol Hathaway, nutritionist and dietician.

Discuss key feedback provided by leadership and staff. It isn't essential to quote those interviewed but to instead look for key insights and common areas of concern. Include any standardized surveys that were used or a specific series of questions asked during the visit.

List Key Insights and Observations

Observations are based on what is personally seen and not conveyed based on interviews. For example, visitors might visually note that the operation seems to have too many workers that are not being kept busy. Anything from cleanliness to general organization is subject to observations. Include these insights in the visit report.

During a mid-day visit, the lunch offerings included a vegetable and a fruit choice, but there was no alternative offered for those with special dietary needs.

Summarize Conclusions

Determine if the organization is meeting objectives based on the provided feedback and observations. Use details and quantifiable information where possible to support conclusions. For example, if the objective of a visit to a new factory is to determine if it was 60 percent staffed in the first quarter, provide the actual human resource numbers with turnover, existing recruiting efforts and departments where deficiencies exist.

Provide Future Action Plans 

State when future visits are scheduled if any, and whether these are predetermined or a result of the recent visit. For example, this may have been the third annual visit on a quarterly schedule. Provide recommendations for improvements. If certain action plans are defined, state these in detail. This provides a success metric for the next visit.

Tourism industry events are gaining more and more importance due to their vital role in the success of many economies around the world. People now take part in more activities of all types, and as a result, they will travel great distances to attend activities that interest them more. This project will include trip photographs and their information, as well as some basic and enhanced facilities. This project's objective was to create a website called "Travels And Tourism" that would provide the basic details about various locations. Where visitors can visit, view their favourite destinations, and choose to travel wherever they like. Users can also get in touch with us by sending an email or phoning us directly if they are having any problems or have any questions or recommendations. The project is designed with HTML-PHP as front end and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 as backend which works in any browser. The coding languages used are HTML, CSS, Bootsrap, and PHP. Travel and tourism management system is used to book a tour from anywhere in the world by a single dynamic website which will help the user to know all about the places and tour details in a single website. By creating a tour page, the administrator can add packages to the website from certain hotels and travel agencies. Then, after logging in, users can book each project, which the admin can then confirm on the page where they handle bookings. The user's "book" page will display the confirmation. It is the most userfriendly tool for booking travel arrangements and getting complete information.

Site Visit Report Template (PDF For Business)

Free site visit reports templates are hard to come by. Intelligent, well-thought-out site visit report templates are a rarity online. Most of the time, you’re stuck with either a) not enough information about a download someone wants you to pay for or b) something so bleak, so bland, that you will need to change half of it to make it reasonably worth its salt.

To lend a mower to this proverbial thicket, we thought we’d do what no one else seems to endeavor to deliver a free site visit report template you can download and start using today . And you won’t get sent to some screen asking for a credit card either. This one is on us.

Before you dive into the download, let’s take a few points and unravel their mystery to ensure we’re on the same page. After all, we were hoping you could make the best use of your site visit reports templates, so it makes sense to communicate how best you might utilize this site reporting tool. Let’s dive in.

Included In The Site Visit Report Template

The watermarked Site Visit Report by 1stReporting.com

Site visits are a common practice in many industries. Some of these industries include:

  • Construction
  • Project Management
  • Property Management

We’ve done our research to set the template, so you’ll find the template valuable and efficient no matter the function. It should work great in Construction, site project management, and also property management endeavors.

Diving into the template, you may notice three primary sections:

  • Administrative
  • On-Site Report Information

These sections are all very standard and should require no further explanation, save for the central data collection section.

The on-site report information or central data collection section of the site visit report template has five areas:

  • Site Conditions – From safety to functionality, the site conditions section allows notation of your findings of the site.
  • Current Work In Progress – It holds the details about the work taking place at the time of the site visit, whether on temporary shut down to accommodate for the visit or not.
  • Scheduled Work Preparation – It includes the details and information about the following stages and the pre-development on-site to accommodate upcoming steps and processes.
  • Observations – Your reporters will include any overall observations, points requiring notes, or other information.
  • Additional Report Details – An information overflow section allows you or the reporter to include any other pertinent details about the site visit that were not included in the report. The section can also be used as a supplemental data capture section.

How To Use The Site Visit Report Template

The Site Visit Report Template is an organized slate for your site reporting needs. It is purposefully organized, with room to write observations and details for each of the vital fundamental metrics you’re likely to explore on your site visit.

Step 1 – Download the template.

Step 2 – Print the template.

Step 3 – Complete your report.

It doesn’t get much simpler than that. However, you know that your site visit report will be complex in comparison. We thought sharing six essential tips for a successful site visit process would be of use to aid you in your quest. And without further ado, here are the tips to use with your Site Visit Reports Templates.

6 Essential Tips For Site Visiting and Reporting Success

  • Get Tooled Up

One of the best things you can do pre-inspection is to ensure you have the best tools to aid you in your site visit reporting. Now, you could easily download and print the Site Visit Reports Template we’ve provided here; or you could look at using a fully digital solution.

At the very least, you or your appointed reporting staff will likely carry a smartphone with them. Using a digital solution, you can use this device we all carry regardless for the reporting process itself. With digital solutions like what you’re going to find with 1st Incident Reporting’s mobile and customizable app, you can do a lot more than fill out a report on your phone or tablet. We’ll get more to that later. 

  • Plan It Out

One of the most essential lessons to learn in business management is that appropriate planning saves time, money, and headaches. Preventing disaster is wise by having a well-thought-out plan of attack for your site visit inspection and subsequent reporting.

Break down your site visit into notable segments, and you’ll find you can quickly investigate a segment at a time, then cross it off your list. Segmentation for inspections tends to allow for a more straightforward determination of process faults at the micro-level rather than the macro. It’s also a great way to formulate your plan to complete the site visit efficiently and effectively.

  • Watch The Weather

If your operations or those of the site you or your reporter will attend are outside, watching the weather might be as crucial as it would on a day run to take the family to the beach. The weather might play an even more critical role if the site visit itself will hamper outdoor operations.

Similarly, if you are in Canada or one of the Northern United States, where harsh winters are an annual reality, accounting for weather in your plans is something every intelligent manager will do.

  • Communicate Intent

Depending on the nature of your site visit, it’s typically a wise and polite idea to communicate your intent to perform a site inspection. It’s essential when you’re looking at a sudden shutdown of operations to accommodate for reporting staff to perform their site visit.

Whether you’re letting the team lead for building materials coordination know or the foundation construction foreman, communicating your intent to perform a site visit is a professional way to move forward. It’s also a great way to build up the people around you by including them instead of excluding them. ( source )

  • Coordinate With Teams

You need to coordinate with relevant teams rather than just communicating that you’ll have an on-site inspection site visit completed on a particular date and time. It’s one thing to drop an email or a phone call to let someone know; it’s another thing to invite their active support.

When you coordinate with teams on-site for your site visit, you communicate a powerful message – that teams are stronger when they work together. Consider the ramifications of an unannounced site visit. Staff would be paranoid, on edge, and looking over their shoulder. Although you might increase specific workforce metrics by instilling a culture of fear, you likely won’t get anyone’s best work.

The moral of this short thought was that it usually pays more significant dividends to work with people than against them.

In order to look at things from another perspective, there are cases where you need to communicate your intent to do a site visit for your own safety. Here’s an interesting fact: In 2019, 33% of worker fatalities in road construction sites involved a commercial motor vehicle. There were 250 such deaths that year. ( source )

Sometimes coordinating to shut down a busy vehicular area to allow pedestrian inspectors or management to do a site visit is for everyone’s best interest and safety.

  • Don’t Be Afraid

Okay, we aren’t saying you’re a child in a dark room at night during a thunderstorm, not at all. This last tip is perhaps the most essential tip of all because it challenges you to step outside your comfort zone. When we say don’t be afraid, we mean don’t be afraid to ask for help.

The best leaders are those who recognize the limitations of not only the team but of themselves. In placing limitations on our workloads, we limit stress from pushing us to a breaking point. 

Given the complexity of many construction projects and other projects that might incur a need for regular site visits and reports, it’s obvious why some companies utilize entire teams for their site and project management. 

Never feel afraid to ask for the help of another professional. Managing big projects isn’t easy. It’s okay to ask someone for assistance to help you complete a big or prolonged site visit.

Next Steps: Digitizing Your Site Visit

Okay, so you’ve got your template printed and ready to go, a viable solution to documenting a site visit report. However, would it be easier to carry a tablet you could complete the report on directly, including photos or even video? Or perhaps customizing a report to include a checklist you can check off right on your smartphone as you walk around the site?

With a digital, mobile solution, you have the freedom to come and go into the report as you please. And when the report is complete, the custom notifications can let the right people know the report is complete and ready for sharing.

Automated processes take the guesswork out of remembering to hand in a report. They allow management to immediately take action rather than wait to see a paper report to determine what happened.

Like the 1st Reporting app, a digital solution allows for instant collaboration, so if you need to have one, two, or even several other staff assist in a group site visit, each could contribute on their own device.

Saving you time and money while offering you a secure platform for customizable site reporting is the name of the game here. Find out how turning your site visit reports templates digital can move your business forward.
