Checklists with the photo attached

An inspection is only worth anything if it’s evidenced. Toolie runs inspection checklists on the phone — pick a template for the job type, then mark each item pass, concern or fail with a photo and a note against it. It rolls up into a tidy PDF report you can hand to the client, the owner or the file, so the state of the job on the day is on the record, not in your memory.

A snag list that actually gets closed out

A per-job snag / punch list — log the defect with a photo, assign it, and tick it off when it’s fixed
Reusable checklist templates per inspection type, that you can customise
Every item carries a status, a note and a photo — the paper trail for a handover or a dispute

Know what the council inspector needs ready

A failed council inspection means a re-inspection fee and a delay, and the number-one cause is work not ready or not accessible. For a consented job, Toolie lays out what must be ready for each inspection stage — pre-pour, pre-line and the rest — so the inspector passes it first time. It’s a preparation aid, not a substitute for your BCA’s requirements.

Inspections tie into construction management and your site diary, and the readiness stages come off the consent. See the full feature guide.

Common questions

What does a building inspection app do?

It lets you run inspection checklists on the phone - marking each item pass, concern or fail with a photo and a note - and produce a PDF report. Toolie also keeps a per-job snag/punch list and shows what must be ready for each council inspection stage.

Is there a snag or punch list?

Yes - Toolie keeps a per-job snag (punch) list: log each defect with a photo, assign it and tick it off when it's fixed, so nothing falls through the cracks at handover.

Can it help pass council inspections?

For a consented job, Toolie lays out what must be ready and accessible for each inspection stage - the main reason inspections fail and trigger a re-inspection fee. It's a preparation aid; always confirm the exact requirements with your BCA.

Do inspection items keep the photo?

Yes - each checklist item carries its status, a note and a photo, and the whole inspection rolls up into a PDF report, so the state of the work on the day is evidenced for handover or a dispute.
