Shuttering Audit App turns shuttering audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each shuttering against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare shuttering audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Shuttering Audit App runs a scored shuttering audit covering props, spacing, and bracing, bearers, joists, and decking, verticality, line, and level, release agent and cleanliness, and edge protection and access, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, shuttering findings live on paper and in chat. A shuttering fault such as undersized or missing props slips through. An audit then means rebuilding shuttering evidence from folders.
Shuttering Audit App keeps one record per shuttering and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each shuttering finding is tracked to verified closure. Site engineers and temporary-works coordinators see shuttering completion and overdue actions across the construction portfolio. Every shuttering record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Shuttering Audit App?
A comprehensive shuttering audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit shuttering programmes with structured findings, weighted scoring, and verified closure across project sites. Your audit should include sections for props, spacing, and bracing; bearers, joists, and decking; and verticality, line, and level, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Shuttering Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a shuttering audit:
Open the shuttering audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each shuttering against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall shuttering score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed shuttering criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the shuttering audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Shuttering Audit Cover?
A shuttering audit scores condition against BS 5975 and OSHA 1926 subpart Q, checking props, spacing, and bracing, bearers, joists, and decking, verticality, line, and level, release agent and cleanliness, and edge protection and access. Each shuttering finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the shuttering audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Shuttering Audit App Scores a Shuttering Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the shuttering audit template.

Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each shuttering non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed shuttering criteria become corrective actions.

What Shuttering Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Shuttering work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Shuttering Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
The same shuttering defect comes back every cycle
Undersized or missing props, inadequate bracing, out-of-level decking, grout loss at joints on the shuttering are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each shuttering defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The shuttering root cause is never addressed.
Problem
Repeat shuttering defects treated as new every time
No history tying findings to the same shuttering
Budget spent re-fixing the same shuttering problem
Root-cause shuttering work prioritised by evidence
You find out about a shuttering problem from a complaint
There is no live view of shuttering status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the shuttering is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of shuttering status across sites
Shuttering problems surface as complaints, not as data
Shuttering risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of shuttering completion and open issues
Shuttering risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter shuttering results by site and date
Every auditor scores the shuttering audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The shuttering audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Shuttering scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Shuttering sections get skipped with no record
Shuttering scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted shuttering criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory shuttering sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable shuttering scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Shuttering Audit App check on a shuttering audit?
Shuttering Audit App runs a scored shuttering audit against BS 5975 and OSHA 1926 subpart Q, checking props, spacing, and bracing, bearers, joists, and decking, verticality, line, and level, release agent and cleanliness, and edge protection and access. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for site engineers and temporary-works coordinators rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which shuttering defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the shuttering failures that matter most: undersized or missing props, inadequate bracing, out-of-level decking, and grout loss at joints. Left unchecked, a fault such as undersized or missing props can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so site engineers and temporary-works coordinators fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Shuttering Audit App support for shuttering work?
Shuttering Audit App keeps shuttering checks aligned to BS 5975 and OSHA 1926 subpart Q. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, site engineers and temporary-works coordinators pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run shuttering checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Shuttering Audit App is offline-first: teams complete shuttering checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So site engineers and temporary-works coordinators get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a shuttering audit was completed?
Every completed shuttering audit carries prop layout photo, level check note, and pre-pour permit, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, site engineers and temporary-works coordinators can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
