Building Inspection Software for Engineers, Inspectors & Facility Teams
Inspect commercial, residential, and industrial buildings faster. Capture photo evidence, generate signed reports, and stay compliant with structural, fire safety, and dilapidation standards.
What is Building Inspection Software?
Building inspection software is a digital platform used by structural engineers, building inspectors, and facility management teams to document the condition of existing buildings. It standardizes structural surveys, facade and cladding inspections, fire-safety checks, dilapidation reports, and ongoing maintenance inspections — replacing paper forms and Excel trackers with a single mobile-first system.
Built for the Realities of Building Inspection
Whether you are inspecting a high-rise facade, a single-family home before sale, or a fire-safety system on a quarterly cadence, SpaceCapture adapts to your workflow. The platform supports multi-inspector teams, geo-tagged photo evidence, AI-assisted defect detection on photos, and signed PDF reports in under a minute.

How It Works
- Pick a template: Choose from structural, facade, fire-safety, dilapidation, or build your own with the visual form builder.
- Inspect on-site: Walk the building with the mobile app, attaching photos, voice notes, and condition ratings as you go.
- Auto-detect defects: AI flags cracks, corrosion, moisture, and other common defects from your photos — accelerating the review.
- Generate signed reports: Output a branded, signed PDF report in minutes. Multi-party e-signature included.
