The Inspection Workflow
Here’s how a typical inspection flows inside InspectIQ, from the moment you arrive to the moment you wrap up:1
Open Your Work Order
From the Home screen, tap the work order for today’s inspection. Review the property details, client information, and any notes added during scheduling.
2
Start the Inspection
Tap Start Inspection to activate the inspection session. InspectIQ loads your template and sets up all the areas and sections for the property type.
3
Navigate Areas
Move through each area of the property — such as Roof, Foundation, Kitchen, or Electrical Panel — using the area list. Tap any area to open it and begin documenting.
4
Capture Photos
Use the in-app camera to photograph each area and any items you want to document. Add annotations to highlight specific concerns directly on the photo.
5
Record Findings
Add findings for defects, maintenance items, and observations. Assign a severity level, write a description, and attach photos to each finding.
6
Use AI-Generated Findings
Let InspectIQ’s AI analyze your photos and suggest findings automatically. Review the suggestions, edit as needed, and accept what’s accurate.
7
Review and Edit
When you’ve covered every area, do a final pass through your findings. Check descriptions, confirm severity ratings, and make sure every item is complete.
8

Tap Complete Inspection to finalize your session. InspectIQ compiles everything into your report, ready to review and deliver to your client.
