What's in the build

Six pieces, one workflow.

Survey, defect, photo, plan-pin, report — all on the inspector's phone.

01 · Survey templates

Per inspection type, configurable, audit-ready.

Pre-built templates: pre-purchase, dilapidations, fire safety, EPC, building control. Items mandatory, optional, conditional. The inspector follows the schedule; nothing missed.

  • Pre-built UK templates
  • Conditional logic
  • Mandatory item gate
  • Custom template builder
02 · Defect capture

Photo, plan-pin, severity, recommendation.

Defect captured with photos (multiple angles), pinned on the floor plan, severity rated (1-5), recommendation written or selected. Voice-to-text where typing on site is hard.

  • Multi-photo capture
  • Plan-pin location
  • Severity scoring
  • Voice-to-text notes
03 · Branded report

PDF in your colours, in their inbox.

Auto-generated report: cover, executive summary, defect schedule with photos, recommendations, costs (where appropriate). Branded as your firm. Delivered same day.

  • Auto-generated PDF
  • Brand-consistent design
  • Photo gallery in-line
  • Cost-band recommendations
04 · Cost-band library

Recommendations with a price range.

Optional cost library by defect type. Recommendations come with indicative price ranges from your supplier feed. Client gets actionable, not vague.

  • Defect-type cost library
  • Indicative ranges
  • Local-supplier sourcing
  • Maintainable by your team
05 · Re-inspection cycle

Defects tracked through to closure.

Each defect has a status: open, in-progress, closed, deferred. Re-inspection triggered after a configured period. Closure photo gates 'closed' status. The schedule survives staff change.

  • Per-defect status
  • Re-inspection scheduling
  • Closure-photo gate
  • Deferred-defect register
06 · Reporting

Portfolio defects, by site, by category.

For asset managers: live dashboard of defects across portfolio. By site, by category, by severity, by age. Capex prioritisation grounded in data.

  • Portfolio defect dashboard
  • Capex prioritisation view
  • Site comparison
  • Trend over time
Sample engagement

The surveying firm that delivered reports on the day.

Six surveyors. 25 inspections a week. A laptop and a memory.

A residential surveying firm typed reports up after each inspection, often days later. Average report turnaround: 4.7 days. We shipped an inspection app with templates, plan-pin, and PDF auto-gen. Three months in: average report turnaround 4 hours, surveyors' on-site time productive (no double-handling), client NPS up materially.

How we measure: Report turnaround measured from inspection-end to PDF-delivered (n = 280 inspections pre/post), surveyor productive-hours measured by app-time vs typing-time, NPS via post-delivery 5-point survey.
