Government · Australian condition assessment firm doing multi-building portfolio inspections
Turning building inspection photos into priced defect reports automatically
Before
Their inspectors would spend a day walking a building with a tablet, capturing photos of every defect, every service room, every piece of gas and electrical equipment. Then the real work started. Back at the office, someone sat down with the export, hundreds of photos, and a blank spreadsheet — describing each defect, writing remediation steps, looking up current material and labour prices, and transcribing make-model-serial numbers off nameplate photos. A single portfolio could take weeks.
What we built
A tool where the inspector drops in their tablet export — spreadsheet plus photo folder, as-is — and the system does the write-up. It reads every defect photo, describes the problem, writes the fix, and looks up current local prices for materials, labour, and equipment to produce a line-item cost. It pulls equipment details straight off nameplate photos. When the job is done, it hands back the firm's standard client report, filled in.
The result
Reports that used to tie up staff for weeks now come back the same day. The firm can quote bigger portfolios without hiring, client deliverables land faster, and pricing is consistent across jobs instead of depending on whoever did the estimating that week. The inspectors get to inspect; the back office stops retyping photos into spreadsheets.
