Features
Read full description

The Property Manager Toolkit is designed specifically for estate and block managers who want an easy, reliable way to complete and manage site inspections while ensuring compliance with current regulations. Carry out recurring inspection activities like Block or Estate Inspections, directly from your phone, even in areas with poor or no internet connection. All data is securely saved on your phone and can be synced when you’re back online. Compliance checklists help ensure you and your team are meeting regulatory standards consistently, reducing risk and giving you peace of mind in an increasingly demanding environment. Checklists can be customised to match the property’s needs, supporting both standardisation across all your blocks and bespoke checklists for sites with unique requirements. You can create as many sections and prompts as necessary, from simple photo and comment captures to detailed multi-part inspections. The app works in conjunction with Blocks Online, where you can review, edit, reorder inspection data and generate professional PDF reports to share with clients or stakeholders. Whether you manage one building or many, this app streamlines and standardises your inspection process, helping you stay organised, compliant, and efficient.
