Facade Inspection App

Facade Inspection App runs structured facade inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each facade, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see facade compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.

What is Facade Inspection App?

Facade Inspection App runs a structured facade inspection covering sealant and gasket condition, panel alignment, fixing corrosion, glazing cracks, and drainage paths, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, facade findings live on paper and in chat. A facade fault such as failed sealant slips through. An audit then means rebuilding facade evidence from folders.

Facade Inspection App keeps one record per facade and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each facade finding is tracked to verified closure. Facade inspectors and building surveyors see facade completion and overdue actions across the facilities management portfolio. Every facade record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Facade Inspection App?

A comprehensive facade inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect facade with structured checks, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your inspection should include sections for sealant and gasket condition, panel alignment, and fixing corrosion, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.

How to Use Facade Inspection App

A consistent routine keeps facade inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:

  1. Open the assigned facade template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, facade, date, and inspector.
  2. Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the facade.
  3. Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially failed sealant, loose panels, spalled fixings, blocked weep holes.
  4. For every failed facade item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
  5. Sign off the facade form. The facade report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.

What Does a Facade Inspection Cover?

A facade inspection covers sealant and gasket condition, panel alignment, fixing corrosion, glazing cracks, and drainage paths. Facade inspectors and building surveyors capture photo evidence on each facade point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the facade round off. So every facade record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Gets Checked

  • Sealant and gasket condition
  • Panel alignment
  • Fixing corrosion
  • Glazing cracks
  • Drainage paths

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Failed sealant
  • Loose panels
  • Spalled fixings
  • Blocked weep holes

Evidence Captured

  • Elevation photo
  • Close-up of defect
  • Location mark-up

Templates align to CWCT Standard, BS 8298, local building regulations.

What Facade Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper

Facade work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Facade Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Facade Inspection App: The facade report is still being assembled by hand

The facade report is still being assembled by hand

Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting facade photos, notes, and inspection records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the facade data is days old and the next problem is already live.

Problem

  • Facade reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
  • Leadership reads facade data that is already days old
  • Every facade report looks slightly different

Solution

  • Branded facade reports generate automatically per site and period
  • Scheduled facade reports reach managers before the morning meeting
  • One consistent facade report format across the estate
Facade Inspection App: Facade checks signed off on paper with no proof the facade was actually checked

Facade checks signed off on paper with no proof the facade was actually checked

A facade inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the facade was actually checked, and whether failed sealant, loose panels, spalled fixings, blocked weep holes were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the facade passed.

Problem

  • Facade checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
  • No way to confirm failed sealant, loose panels, spalled fixings, blocked weep holes were actually inspected
  • Facade findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay

Solution

  • One digital facade form with required fields and validation
  • Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every facade check
  • Facade findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Facade Inspection App: Facade issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

Facade issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

A failed item is noted during a routine inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection finds the same problem on the same facade. The facade issue is logged, not closed.

Problem

  • Failed facade items noted but never assigned to anyone
  • No due date on a facade fix, so nothing is ever overdue
  • The facade fix is marked done with no proof it happened

Solution

  • Every failed facade item becomes an owned corrective action
  • Closure needs a facade verification photo before sign-off
  • Overdue actions escalate automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Facade Inspection App check on a facade inspection?

Facade Inspection App runs a structured facade inspection covering sealant and gasket condition, panel alignment, fixing corrosion, glazing cracks, and drainage paths. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so facade inspectors and building surveyors work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.

Which facade defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The inspection targets the facade failures that matter most: failed sealant, loose panels, spalled fixings, and blocked weep holes. Left unchecked, a fault such as failed sealant 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 facade inspectors and building surveyors 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 Facade Inspection App support for facade work?

Facade Inspection App keeps facade checks aligned to CWCT Standard, BS 8298, and local building regulations. The photos 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, facade inspectors and building surveyors 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 facade checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Facade Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete facade 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 facade inspectors and building surveyors get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a plant room or basement never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a facade inspection was completed?

Every completed facade inspection carries elevation photo, close-up of defect, and location mark-up, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, facade inspectors and building surveyors 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.
