Trade Inspection and Report Software in New Zealand

Maritime weather, wind-driven rain, seismic movement and large regional differences make moisture entry, subfloor ventilation and envelope condition important parts of a survey.

A workflow for tradespeople, contractors and specialist installers

Capture the initial defect, work area, limitations, proposed repair and completion evidence in a client-ready report.

Before-and-after records support clearer scopes, variations and handovers while leaving technical certification to the relevant competent person. Reports are generated on the device, so field capture and PDF production can continue without a reliable signal; cloud sync can resume later.

Homestar and Healthy Homes context

Homestar can provide a residential sustainability reference, while the Healthy Homes Standards address heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping in rental homes. A certificate or rating can inform the property record, but it does not replace an inspection of current physical condition.

The Healthy Homes Standards set requirements for rental properties, including ventilation and moisture ingress and drainage. The inspection should state what was observed and avoid presenting a visual survey as a statutory certification.

Scheme reference: Homestar and Healthy Homes.

Configuration for New Zealand

• Use NZD for cost schedules and repair allowances.
• Use “mould” in condition descriptions.
• Reference Homestar and Healthy Homes only where it is relevant to the property and instruction.
• Use EXIF-verified capture timestamps for photographic evidence.
