Introduction

Dilapidation reports are essential for documenting property conditions before, during, and after construction or maintenance projects. However, traditional methods of manual note-taking and photography can be time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. The Dashpivot's Dilapidation Photos App revolutionises this process by enabling streamlined digital documentation, standardised reporting, and real-time updates, ensuring accurate and transparent records for all stakeholders.

This app provides an efficient and collaborative approach to capturing, organising, and sharing property condition data, making it easier to monitor changes and make informed decisions.

How it works

Key Features

  • Capture high-resolution photos and annotate them directly within the app to document property conditions in detail, eliminating the need for paper-based methods.

  • Use standardised templates to ensure consistency in all reports, making it easier for stakeholders to review and compare data.

  • All dilapidation records are stored securely in a centralised database, enabling easy retrieval and analysis of historical data for informed decision-making.

  • Document and access property condition records from the field with a mobile or tablet, ensuring seamless workflows regardless of location.

  • Share reports and updates directly with team members, contractors, or clients to enhance communication and foster collaboration.

Best Practices

  • Take well-lit, high-resolution photos that clearly depict property conditions, and use markup tools to highlight key details.

  • Customise and standardise dilapidation report templates across projects to ensure consistent and professional documentation.

  • Turn on photo stamp preferences for a more professional output.

  • Use photo tags to define defect type, location, and severity which enable easy filtering.
