## What is BalconySheet?

BalconySheet is an offline-first field inspection tool for balcony, walkway, deck, landing, and  
  stair safety assessments. Built for building inspectors, property managers, HOAs, and structural 
  engineers running SB-326 / SB-721 exterior elevated element (EEE) surveys in California, and
  general field inspections anywhere.

  FORMS THAT MATCH THE JOB
  • Dedicated forms for Walkways, Private Decks, Decks, Landings, Balconies, and Stairs
  • Unit-level entries with condition ratings for rails, surfaces, framing, drainage, lids, stucco,
   joists, beams, rim joists, posts, and piers
  • Fractional-inch measurement capture paired with location pins (DP style, hose spigot, gas
  meter, common gas rail, main water line, post at driveway, curb)
  • In-form photo capture for ZIP FAR, ZIP ZEROED, ZIP HOLD, and ZIP RESULTS moisture meter
  readings
  • 16 preset photo types for site documentation (stucco, railing, sweep, push, spray, IR, drill,
  boroscope, long poke, zip level, plugs, and more)
  • MAIN property form with address, client, unit/building counts, manager contacts, and gate codes
  • E3 repeater for tracking balcony types by quantity and surface

  OFFLINE-FIRST
  Every field is auto-saved the moment you type. The whole app runs with no network — perfect for
  basements, parking structures, and sites where cell service drops out.

  EXPORT HOW YOU WANT
  • Google Sheets — create a new spreadsheet in your own Google Drive with MAIN, PICS, and every
  inspection tab pre-formatted, plus tappable links to every photo
  • Excel XLSX — a real .xlsx file with no account required
  • Photos ZIP — every captured photo bundled into one archive, automatically re-encoded under 2 MB
   per image

  PRIVACY FIRST
  No analytics. No tracking. No ads. All inspection data and photos stay on your device. Google
  sign-in is completely optional and is only used for the "Export to Google Sheets" feature. The
  app requests the drive.file scope, which restricts it to files the app itself creates — it cannot
   read your existing Google Drive files, emails, or contacts.

  Built by inspectors, for inspectors.
