Compare our inspection reports

We find defects.
We don’t write novels.

Clear photographs. Short descriptions. Practical next steps. See how GoInspect makes handover inspection reports easier to understand and multi-residential defect reporting easier to use.

Our focus is the work that needs attention: where it is, what it looks like and which trade needs to act.

New home handover & practical completion inspections

Clear reports help get defects fixed. When builders and trades can see the issue and understand what needs doing, they can get on with rectification. Compare the layouts below, then open a real GoInspect sample.

Three report styles. A clear difference.

The Novel

Other inspectors — illustrated report style
Long-form technical report

  • Lengthy technical explanations
  • Repair actions within paragraphs
  • More text to work through

The Photo Hunt

Other inspectors — illustrated report style
Separate defect list and photos

  • Photos on separate pages
  • Match numbers to descriptions
  • Flip back for locations and trades

The Complicated Way

Other systems — illustrated workflow
A generic example of a complicated process.

  • Repetitive entry and extra administration
  • Plan-heavy setup and awkward room changes
  • Photos and instructions scattered apart
  • Depending on portal access to view findings
  • Unrelated items for trades to sift through
  • Hard-to-follow rectification records

Illustrative workflow comparison. GoInspect preview: actual sample trade report.

One trade. Multiple dwellings. A focused worklist.

A cabinetmaker doesn’t need to sift through the painter’s work. We can group the relevant items across multiple apartments or townhouses into a trade-specific report, with the dwelling, room, item ID, photograph and repair description together.

Open our actual cabinetmaker sample to see how the work is organised across dwellings.

Our reporting workflow

Less administration.
More attention on the work.

GoInspect uses InspectaMate to capture findings on site and turn them into practical reports for owners, supervisors and trades.

Record on site

Log the finding, add photographs and select the location and trade. Add or change rooms as the inspection requires.

Share relevant work

Issue an individual dwelling report or a focused trade worklist across dwellings. PDFs can be saved, printed and shared.

Check rectification

Use the original item IDs, locations and photographs to compare repairs with the findings at an agreed re-inspection.

Do I need an app or account to read the reports?

No. Our sample reports are PDFs you can open in a standard PDF viewer. You can save, print or forward the file without a separate reporting-system account.

Does a longer report mean a better inspection?

Page count alone does not tell you how thorough an inspection was. Look at the recorded findings, photographs, locations and how clearly the report explains the work requiring attention.

Can reports guarantee that every defect will be fixed?

Reports provide a clear record to support rectification. The builder and trades carry out the repairs; the inspection scope and any re-inspection arrangements are agreed separately.
