Perform every building inspection with one smart app

Whether it’s daily checks or annual audits, the Building Inspector makes every type of building inspection fast, clear and professional.

Regular inspections are essential for sustainable and efficient property management. The app helps you plan, execute and follow up inspections at your own pace, whether daily, weekly or monthly. This way, you detect issues early and prevent costly repairs.

With the Building Inspector, you have one powerful tool for:

Walk-through/Maintenance Inventory inspections for maintenance tasks
Compliance, safety, security and maintenance checks
Reporting and documentation for all building stakeholders

The professional yet user-friendly tool is designed for maximum flexibility, whether you manage a single property or an entire real estate portfolio. Set everything up effortlessly through the app or via the Building Manager, the intuitive online back office.

Here’s how simple it is:

Add a building with just one click

Within minutes, you’re ready to inspect, with no hassle and no technical expertise required.

Work together in one system

With the Building Inspector, your company or organisation gains a standardised and streamlined way of working.

Not everyone in your team has the same responsibilities. That’s why the app uses clear roles and access rights. As an administrator, you decide who can access which features or parts of the app.

Give inspectors access only to their assigned tasks, allow technical staff to follow up on work orders and keep full oversight yourself. This way, everyone works efficiently and securely within one shared tool.

Plan and manage your inspections with ease

Get a clear overview of all your scheduled inspections for yourself and your team in just one glance. With the smart tool, you don’t just receive inspection jobs; you can also schedule them effortlessly and keep full control of your team’s workload in the Building Manager.

You decide who does what, when and where. This way, you streamline the entire inspection process and keep everything perfectly balanced.

Easily link work orders to your issues

Notice an issue during an inspection? Instantly create a work order or maintenance task right in the app.

Specify exactly what needs to be done, set a deadline and assign the task to the right person or team. Add extra instructions or comments if needed, so everyone knows exactly what’s expected.

This ensures smooth follow-up and guarantees that no issue goes unresolved.

Organise your maintenance from A to Z

With the integrated Maintenance Organizer (Premium version), you have complete control over all your work orders, centralised, clear and efficient.

Through the Building Manager, you can schedule maintenance tasks per building and assign them to the right contractors, whether internal or external. This keeps you in control of every job, prevents duplicate work and ensures all maintenance processes run smoothly and on schedule.

Internal and external service providers can follow up on their tasks through a web app and provide feedback, complete with photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Building Inspector for?

Designed for everyone who manages buildings

The Building Inspector App is built for anyone responsible for one or more buildings. From professional property managers overseeing multiple sites to facility managers within companies and organisations — this tool delivers the power and flexibility you need to manage every building efficiently.

Although it’s a professional-grade solution, we’ve designed it so that every team member can use it easily and confidently.

Which device do I need?

Available for smartphone and tablet

The Building Inspector app runs smoothly on both smartphones and tablets, and is available for iOS and Android.

Use the same login across multiple devices: perform quick inspections or record issues on the go with your smartphone, and use your tablet for more detailed on-site checks. Work flexibly — wherever you are.

The Building Manager runs entirely online: all you need is a modern browser like Chrome or Safari to access it anytime, anywhere.

What types of reports can I generate?

Choose the report that fits your needs

You don’t always need a full report — and we understand that. That’s why, after every inspection, you decide which type of report to generate, tailored to your purpose or audience.

For each inspection, you can choose from three report types:

Full report: provides a complete overview of all evaluations and findings — both positive and negative.
Compact report: shows only the negative assessments, such as damages, defects, or other issues.
Issue report: focuses exclusively on the identified problems during the inspection, enabling fast follow-up.
