Built by a tradie, for tradies. Paperwork and clunky apps were slowing us down, so we built our own. Do the check, take the photos, sign it off and send a professional PDF before you leave the job. NEW: SHARE WITH CLIENTS AND PROPERTY MANAGERS Add a client's email to a property and they see every report you've done there at safetycheckpro.com.au/portfolio, any time. Free for them, no app needed. Properties sit in folders by client, with an Invite button. Once the works are done, mark them rectified and they see it. In a team, the owner or an admin approves every email. OVER 40 REPORTS, READY TO GO Every trade: Service Report, Callback and Warranty, Site Inspection, Safety Hazard and Incident, Maintenance Visit. Electrical: Electrical Safety Check (rentals), Smoke Alarm Check, Smoke Alarm Installation, RCD Test, Test & Tag, Emergency Lighting, Thermal Imaging, Solar, Pre-Purchase, Make Safe (insurance), New Build Verification, Cabling Compliance (TCA1).

Rename, add or remove fields on any report, build your own with the Form Builder, or add your own step-by-step procedures to any check. WHO USES IT Electricians, plumbers, gasfitters, air con techs, builders, carpenters, pest controllers, property managers and landlords, from sole traders to whole crews. YOUR LOGO, YOUR COLOURS Set your logo, brand colours and licence once. Every report comes out as a professional PDF with your name on it, photos and signature included. Long jobs can print compact, one line per item. PHOTOS THAT DO THE TALKING Take photos straight into the report and draw on them to circle a defect. Tag them Defect, Recommendation or Condition, or make your own, each with its own gallery. NEVER MISS A RE-CHECK Every report is tracked against when it's due again. You get a reminder on the day, an early heads-up if you want one, and a summary every Monday, so you book the next job first. THE WHOLE TEAM IN ONE PLACE See what's done, what's due and what needs action, with a map of every job, on your phone, tablet or the web dashboard. Every tech has their own login, and their name and licence go on their reports. No signal in the plant room? It saves as you go and syncs when you're back in range.
