Measurable results our trades & construction clients achieve with quality control automation.

70% improvement

Defect Detection Rate

Structured digital checklists with mandatory photo evidence catch issues that were previously missed or glossed over on paper inspection forms.

40% reduction

Rework Costs

Catching defects at the correct project stage prevents the compounding cost of discovering issues after they have been concealed by subsequent trades.

60% faster

Defect Closure Time

Automated corrective action notifications with photo evidence and deadlines ensure subcontractors address defects promptly rather than deferring them.

The Challenge

Common quality control automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.

Quality inspections are inconsistent because they rely on paper checklists that different supervisors interpret differently, with some skipping items entirely.

Defects discovered after lock-up require expensive demolition and rework because they were missed at the stage when they were easily accessible.

Subcontractors dispute defect claims because there is no photographic evidence from the time of inspection, just handwritten notes that are difficult to interpret.

The builder has no data on which subcontractors consistently produce quality work versus those who generate repeated defect callbacks.

Implementation

How we implement quality control automation for your trades & construction business.

Digitise Inspection Checklists

Paper-based quality checklists for each trade and project stage are converted to digital forms with conditional logic, mandatory photo capture, measurement fields, and pass/fail criteria aligned to Australian Standards.

✓ Tools: iAuditor, Google Forms, Make

Schedule Inspections at Project Milestones

Quality inspections are triggered automatically at key construction milestones including pre-pour, frame stage, lock-up, and practical completion. Inspectors are assigned based on trade and availability.

✓ Tools: Make, ServiceM8, Google Calendar

Track Defects and Corrective Actions

Failed inspection items are logged as defects with photos, location, and severity rating. Corrective action requests are sent automatically to the responsible subcontractor or crew with a response deadline.

✓ Tools: Airtable, Slack, Make

Generate Quality Reports and Trend Analysis

Project quality scorecards, defect trend analysis by trade and subcontractor, and compliance reports are generated automatically for project managers and clients.

✓ Tools: Google Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Make
