We give engineering inspectors checklists built on their state's permits, automatically attach every photo to the closest project, and can send reports to contractors before they even leave the site.
One visit to Ridgeview Estates: photo at 10:52, failure recorded at 10:55, contractor signed at 11:04, report sent at 11:06.
Built for site development, stormwater (SWPPP and MS4), sanitary sewer, and capital projects, and designed to work alongside the permitting and GIS systems you already run.
In the field
A lot of inspection apps are desktop forms squeezed onto a phone. inspectorjay was designed for the phone from the start, with big buttons, plain words, and as few taps as we could manage. Install it straight from the browser without waiting on an app store!
Every photo is stamped with where you stood, when, and who took it. Inspectorjay uses the location to automatically select the right project, so on most days you never need to pick a project from a list. Notes can be dictated with your phone's built-in speech-to-text dictation, which is a lot easier than typing with gloves on.
An item can't fail without a note saying why, and adding a reinspect-by date puts the follow-up straight onto your schedule. When the contractor fixes it, you mark it Fixed and the reinspection closes, so nothing gets lost between visits.
Open a project and the first thing you see is every deficiency that's still open and when each one is due, which is usually exactly what you came out to check. The full checklist, photos, and history are one tap away.
Coverage has a way of vanishing at the bottom of a trench or out at the far edge of the county. Inspectorjay saves everything to the phone first and uploads it once the signal comes back. The bar at the top of the screen always shows whether anything is still waiting to send, so you never have to wonder whether your work made it.
In the office
Results, notes, and photos show up on the workspace website as soon as an inspector saves them, so supervisors, engineers, and admin staff can answer questions about a site without calling the inspector or waiting for a report to be filed.
Did anyone make it out to the culvert job today? The Today map answers that at a glance, showing every site each inspector has visited since midnight along with the results and photos. Visits you schedule from the office show up on the inspector's phone.
Inspections and daily diaries live in the same app, so there's no second system to sign into at the end of the day. Inspectors record each day's crews, equipment, materials delivered, and pay-item quantities along with how each was measured, and the weather fills itself in from the National Weather Service.
When the month closes, the quantity report has already been added up, showing each pay item's quantity this period, quantity to date, and percent of contract, ready to export to CSV for the pay estimate.
Have the contractor sign right on your phone, then email the report to them and the owner while you're still standing there. Each report includes the checklist results, open deficiencies, a site map, and every photo with its coordinates, and it prints cleanly to PDF for anyone who still wants paper.
Generic forms apps give you a blank template and leave the rest to you. Our template library already has construction site and post-storm checklists written for every state's construction general permit, plus a wastewater pack covering mains, laterals, acceptance testing, and FOG, so you can start inspecting on day one.
From there you can check them against your current permit, adjust items to match your agency's standards, and share them with neighboring agencies as a single file.
Browse every state's checklists, free to read, print, or download.
Records
Sooner or later a contractor disputes a fail or a public records request lands on your desk, and when that happens the answer is already on file, showing who recorded what, when, and where.
Fits your shop
inspectorjay doesn't ask you to replace your permitting system, your GIS, or your email. It handles the field inspection work those systems weren't built for and sends the results back to them, which also makes it a much smaller purchase than a new platform.
Contractors can check their own results and request inspections on open dates without calling the office. For low-risk items they can send photos instead of waiting on a visit, and you review them from your desk.
Connect ArcGIS to a live feed or export GeoJSON, so inspection results appear on the maps your agency already uses. Upload your site boundaries as GeoJSON and photos are matched to the exact site, not just the nearest one.
Results are sent to your permitting or asset management system as soon as they're saved, using signed webhooks your IT staff can verify.
Everyone signs in with a six-digit code sent to their work email, so there are no passwords to forget, reset, or steal. If a phone goes missing, an admin can sign it out from the office.
Our public Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5, WCAG 2.1 AA) is ready to attach to your purchase and covers the ADA Title II requirement.
Each agency gets its own workspace with its own database, storage, and keys, and our security packet answers the questions your IT department will ask.
Tell us your agency, your state, and what you inspect, and we'll reply within one business day. Your workspace comes with your state's checklists already loaded, and since there's only one plan with every feature, the whole price is on our pricing page before you ever talk to us.
Thanks, we have it. We'll email you within one business day. In the meantime, try the live demo.
