Inspect on iOS and Android with no internet required. Capture photos, let AI flag defects, and generate audit-ready reports in the field.

What Is Facade Inspection Software, and How Do FM Directors Use It Across Building Portfolios?

Facade Inspection Software 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. It covers Field Inspection, Digital Inspection Forms, Inspection Scheduling, Defect Reporting, and more.

Before and After InspectWrk

What changes once facade inspection software runs on one mobile-first platform.

Before InspectWrk

  • EWS1 forms exist as PDF files signed off by a single facade engineer.
  • Higher-Risk Building Gateway documentation lives in disconnected systems.
  • Cladding system identification depends on memory and original drawings.
  • IRATA rope-access surveys produce paper survey reports; drone surveys produce gigabytes of imagery the FM team never gets through.
  • Facade defect records live in PDF folders.

After InspectWrk

  • EWS1 assessments live as structured records with attached cladding system identification, BS 8414 fire-performance test certificates, photo evidence per panel, remediation history,…
  • On every facade inspection cycle, higher-Risk Building Gateway evidence trails carry across the construction phase with the Accountable Person assigned.
  • Every cladding panel ties to manufacturer, product code, batch, BS 8414 / BS 9414 fire test certificate, ACM grade if applicable, and…
  • IRATA rope-access survey findings capture on tablet during the descent; drone imagery from DJI and Skydio ingests via API as structured payloads…
  • Configurable retention per regulatory framework (30 years under Defective Premises Act 1972 as amended by Building Safety Act 2022, 15 years for…

How Does a Facade Inspection Programme Run from EWS1 Assessment to Gateway Review?

Facade Inspection Software runs as a short loop: configure the facade template, capture in the field, route findings to verified closure, then report performance to facade inspectors and building surveyors.

  1. 1

    Configure the Facade Inspection Template

    Your facade controls become a mobile template with required photos and readings on sealant and gasket condition, panel alignment, fixing corrosion, glazing cracks, and drainage paths, aligned to CWCT Standard, BS 8298, and local building regulations, so every site inspects to the same standard from day one.

  2. 2

    Capture the Facade Check in the Field

    Inspectors complete the facade inspection on iOS or Android, offline where signal is poor, recording elevation photo, close-up of defect, and location mark-up against each point before a named sign-off can close the round.

  3. 3

    Route Facade Findings to Verified Closure

    A failed item such as failed sealant becomes an owned task with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until photo proof of the fix is reviewed, so facade defects do not resurface unnoticed.

  4. 4

    Report Facade Performance

    Every facade inspection feeds live dashboards and branded exports, so facade inspectors and building surveyors see completion, overdue actions, and risk per site without assembling a report by hand.

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 a photo and a reading 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.

  • Panel alignment
  • Fixing corrosion
  • Glazing cracks
  • Drainage paths

Common Defects It Surfaces

Frequently Asked Questions About Facade Inspection Software

What does Facade Inspection Software check on a facade inspection?

Facade Inspection Software 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 a photo and a reading, 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.

How often should a facade inspection be done?

How often facade checks run depends on duty, risk, and the standard you follow. Some are daily or pre-use; others run weekly, monthly, or at a statutory interval. Facade Inspection Software sets the cadence per site, reminds facade inspectors and building surveyors before a round is due, and flags anything overdue automatically. Each completed round is timestamped and signed, so the schedule is provably kept rather than assumed, and you can show exactly when the last check happened for any asset.

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 Software support for facade work?

Facade Inspection Software keeps facade checks aligned to CWCT Standard, BS 8298, and local building regulations. 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, facade inspectors and building surveyors export a branded evidence pack built from elevation photo, close-up of defect, and location mark-up, ready to hand over on the spot. 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 Software is offline-first: teams complete facade checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing elevation photo, close-up of defect, and location mark-up 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.
