The inspection takes forty minutes. The report costs the evening. You sort photos off a phone, decipher notes, match measurements to positions, assemble boilerplate and fill in a template. The expert judgement was delivered on site. Everything after that is transcription.
The report assembles during the assessment
Every photo hangs on a position rather than in a folder. Time and location come with it automatically. Measurements, cause and immediate action are recorded where they are established. What results is a structured report, not a pile of attachments waiting for someone to impose an order on it.
Speak instead of typing
On site, dictation is faster than a keyboard, and with gloves on it is often the only input that works at all. Recording, transcription and placing the result on the correct position is not an experiment here: I run exactly that chain in production in DokuAI, my own site-documentation app. I built that technology once, at my own expense.
Enforce completeness instead of hoping for it
The most expensive error is the observation nobody recorded, discovered when everyone has left the site. A capture flow that knows the sequence asks before it lets you close. That isn't bureaucracy. It saves you a second visit.
The deal
- First Version (MVP) from $27,800 in two to four weeks
- Offline-capable; there is no signal in a basement or an unfinished building
- Export as a defensible PDF, fixed once generated
- Interface to your existing claims system clarified before the build
- Data model planned with GDPR in mind and documented for your review, because with claims data it is not a footnote
