Fill it in on a phone or tablet
Your team completes the masonry installation inspection on site in the SiteSurvey app on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. The project name and address fill in for them, it works without signal, and it syncs when the device is back online with photos kept against the question they answer.
Customers and subcontractors do not need the app: send them a link and they can fill it in from any browser.
Every question in the masonry installation inspection template
A masonry installation record linking approved details, materials, setting out, ties, cavity observations, concealed work, defects and inspection hold points. 5 sections and 42 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.
Make it your own: every question is editable
This is a starting point, not a fixed form. Once it is in your SiteSurvey account you can reword any question, add or remove questions, sections and answer options, and add your own logo, so it fits the way your team works and the jobs you do.
Details you only enter once

Masonry Installation Inspection FAQs
How should I record “Dimensional observation”?
Record the location, measurement, units and specified criterion. Link evidence to the drawing revision used for the check.
Does this give a standard tie spacing?
No. Record the approved design and actual evidence for the wall system.
Can photographs prove concealed compliance?
They support review but cannot establish matters outside the recorded view and inspection scope.
What if the wall appears unstable?
Record the concern and refer immediately through site safety and temporary works arrangements.
What are the limits of this template?
This records construction quality observations, not structural design approval, a wall-load assessment, temporary support design or a guarantee of concealed workmanship.
Can I complete this form on site and share the record?
In the SiteSurvey app the form works offline, with photos and signatures recorded against the questions. Share the completed record as a PDF or a link. Dates and action owners are recorded fields; this form does not send reminders or update other systems.
