How do I document site conditions before construction work begins?

To document site conditions before construction begins, you use SiteSurvey to deploy a condition survey form that your team completes on mobile devices as they inspect the site, recording defects, material states, and any features that require protection during works.

The form captures photographs alongside structured data for each item, so there is a clear visual record that matches the written description. GPS tagging or floor plan pin-drops place each finding in its precise location, making it straightforward to reference specific areas when reviewing the report.

All submissions are automatically compiled into the project record in the dashboard. There is no need to collate photographs from multiple phones or transcribe notes taken on paper; everything is already in one place, attributed to the surveyor who recorded it.

The condition survey can be exported as a PDF report for issue to the client or retained internally as a baseline record. If a dispute arises during or after the project regarding pre-existing damage, the timestamped report provides a clear and verifiable account of site conditions at the start.
