DefectPass
Read full descriptionHide full description
A defect report nobody can argue with. Photograph a problem โ the app describes it, numbers it and builds a PDF for your builder, landlord or contractor. New-construction walkthrough, rental move-in, a repair you're not happy with, an insurance claim: one list, one PDF, every item dated. Your first home is free, and you can try it without signing up. NEW: HOUSES AND CONTRACTORS Choose Flat or House when you add a property: a house walk-through adds the garage, the garden and the terrace or roof. On Pro and Team, give each contractor a QR sheet with only their defects: they scan it and mark items fixed. Export an Excel summary of every defect. Taking delivery of a new home โ a flat, condo or house โ accepting a renovation, or checking a tradesman's work? DefectPass turns what you see into a numbered defect report the developer or contractor has to answer. PHOTOGRAPH โ THE REST WRITES ITSELF Point the camera at the defect. The app describes it from the photo the way a defect report would and gives it a number, a room, a date and a severity. Tap the spot on the photo and a ring marks where the problem is. You keep walking. DICTATE IT Tap the mic and describe the defect in any language โ the app writes a short description and fills in the room and severity if you said them. You can edit everything before saving. THE WALK-THROUGH TELLS YOU WHAT TO CHECK 71 checks across 7 zones, from the front door to the balcony โ and for a house, the garage, the garden and the terrace or roof: what to look at, how, and which standard to cite. Run the water for a full minute. Look at the floor against the light. Tap the tiles. People hire an inspector not because they cannot describe a defect, but because they do not know what to check. A PDF IN A MINUTE โ FOR THE DEVELOPER Every defect lands in a PDF with its number, photo, room, severity and date. 13 languages โ or two on one sheet, yours and the developer's. A defect keeps its number, so "06 is fixed" means the same thing to everyone a month later. ASK ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY The assistant answers from your own list and photos: how serious a defect is, what to demand, how to fix it so it does not come back. It drafts a claim letter to the developer from your list. It is not legal advice โ check your contract and local law yourself or with a lawyer. WORKS WHERE THERE IS NO SIGNAL Shoot in the basement or on site; it syncs when the network is back. WHY NOT JUST AN AI CHAT A chat answers and forgets. A handover is a document that lives for months: numbers, statuses, the developer's replies. Here every defect keeps its number and status, the property shows its readiness, and the checklist asks the questions you would not think to ask. PLANS โ Free: 1 property, 20 defects, the checklist walk-through, a PDF with a watermark, 3 quick questions to the assistant. โ Property handover โ $9.99, one-off purchase per property, not a subscription: 1 property for 12 months, up to 150 defects โ more than a typical inspection finds. Clean PDF in 13 languages, 100 quick and 30 detailed assistant answers, a claim letter. โ Pro, for inspectors (monthly or yearly subscription, 7 days free): unlimited properties, your own checklists, contractors and QR sheets, Excel (XLSX) summary of all defects. โ Team, for developers and property managers (monthly or yearly subscription): buildings and floors, roles, the defect register, API and integrations. Built by a construction project manager who uses it on real handovers. Terms: https://defectpass.com/terms Privacy: https://defectpass.com/privacy Support: https://defectpass.com/support
