Existing building inspection and quality control tools do not provide a systematic way to catch interrelated installation defects (e.g., holes in siding above flashing) during construction.

App Concept

BuildSnap QC

A mobile app that guides construction trades through multi-point quality checks with photo evidence, flagging interrelated defects like siding holes above flashing. It generates a checklist per building area, allowing supervisors to verify correct installation sequences and catch issues before they are concealed.

Key Features

Customizable multi-step inspection checklists per building envelope component
Photo capture with automatic defect tagging and location mapping
Interrelation logic: flags when one defect (e.g., siding holes) compromises another (e.g., flashing)
Real-time report sharing with team and stakeholders

Target Users: General contractors and builders managing residential or commercial construction projects, especially those responsible for quality control of building envelopes.

Revenue Model: Subscription at $49/month per project for up to 3 users; $99/month for unlimited users.
