The problem

Manual schedules of condition don't hold up.

A Word document here, a folder of phone photos there, and a different writing style from every surveyor. It works until someone disputes a dilapidation or a missing piece of equipment, and then the record isn't good enough.

Photos lose their context

Images saved separately from the notes are hard to match to the right room or item months later.

No two schedules alike

Free-text documents vary by surveyor, so reports are slower to read and harder to compare.

No history when it matters

Each inspection sits in its own file, so there's no clear picture of how a property has changed.

Hours spent formatting

Typing up and laying out a report back at the office can add hours after every visit.

How it works

Capture, check, report.

One consistent process from the first photo to the finished schedule, whoever carries out the inspection.

01

Capture on site

Work room by room or item by item on a phone or tablet. Every line gets its own condition, notes and photos, laid out by a template for that type of inspection.

02

AI photo analysis

One tap reviews the photos and flags anything visibly worth noting (damage, wear, missing parts) so nothing is overlooked before you leave.

AI review · 2 things to check

  • Grease build-up visible on the extraction canopy filters.
  • Chip to the door seal, lower left corner of fridge 1.

Factual observations only, shown to the surveyor on site alongside the photos. No guesswork about cause, no severity scores.

03

A report clients trust

The schedule becomes a clean, consistent report, marked Draft until it's signed off as Complete, and ready to print or save as a PDF.

What your client receives

A report that speaks for itself.

A cover page with the property and its photos, then every area or item with its condition clearly rated and its photos alongside. Nothing to reformat and nothing to chase.

  • Clear Good / Fair / Poor condition ratings
  • Photos placed beside the entry they relate to
  • AI observations shown as comments against each item
  • Draft and Complete status on the cover
