Construction Inspection Software: Complete, Legally Compliant Approvals
Once the acceptance protocol is signed, the burden of proof shifts to the client, making a detailed inspection protocol essential.
With BauMaster as your construction inspection software and app, you can document your inspections and final acceptances in a legally compliant and thorough manner.

Using Our Construction Site Inspection Software
BauMaster documents your construction acceptances quickly and in a legally secure method. With our construction and building inspection software, you can create a complete protocol in no time at all, during the inspection on-site. If a snagging list or defects report from a previous construction inspection is already available, the process is even faster: You can simply adopt existing entries.
This means that you are not only well-prepared for your meeting with clients, but you also save a lot of time on follow-up work!
1. Preparing for Final Inspection and Acceptance
The flexible protocol templates help to thoroughly prepare for the official acceptance. This speeds up the on-site appointment:
- Select the protocol template and customise as needed.
- Customize header and footer for each protocol
- Simply transfer known defects/open points.
- For partial acceptances: directly copy existing protocols.
Thanks to the construction inspection app, you are fully prepared for this important appointment.
2. Complete the Construction Acceptance Report
During the acceptance, snags, new tasks, objections from the construction company, etc. are documented via mobile app.
- Describe snags in detail, including photos, company, trade and residential unit.
- Clarify further details via sub-entries (e.g. if a task affects different companies).
- The comment feature for each entry creates transparent communication.
- Assign tasks for remedying defects to the relevant trade and set a deadline. The traffic light function can be used to monitor these tasks.
A detailed construction acceptance report prevents misunderstandings at a later stage.
3. Complete Documentation and Tracking
Your acceptance report is stored securely in the digital construction file and can be accessed at any time with just a few taps. After completion and digital signature, all parties involved receive the PDF report by email.
- The task overview shows all open points.
- The start of the warranty period is clearly documented.
- All work is recorded in detail thanks to the practical photo documentation.
- Not only the acceptance of the construction work, but the entire construction documentation can be handed over to the client on request.
Even years later, all stored site protocols, photos and documents can be quickly retrieved.

Benefits of Construction Inspection Software
The acceptance of construction work has far-reaching consequences. If you don’t document everything, you’ll be confronted with numerous complaints and disputes later on. However, since proper documentation requires a lot of effort, it’s particularly worthwhile to use a construction inspection software & app.
What are the Warranty Implications of Building Acceptance?
The client must immediately prove that the contractor is responsible for any faults that occur later. The normal warranty period in Austria is 3 years, in Germany 5 years.
A construction site inspection app provides you with legally secure evidence for the notice of defect.
The special case of property developers
If there is a general contractor or property developer, then about 2 to 4 weeks before the final acceptance, there is usually a preliminary acceptance with the client and the executing trades. This leaves time to rectify any faults.
As a property developer, you often have to deal with numerous acceptances at the same time. A construction inspection software saves a lot of duplicate work!
Benefits of Construction Inspection Software & Apps
The construction acceptance protocol documents the formal acceptance, records significant defects and includes relevant information. If necessary, a new acceptance date will be arranged if further defects have occurred or have not yet been satisfactorily remedied. Time is of the essence on the construction site, so everything has to happen quickly.
This is where the advantages of a construction inspection software come into play:
- Perfect preparation: record open points in advance in the acceptance protocol.
- Fast and thorough documentation: record all agreements directly during the inspection with photos, notes or voice recordings.
- Easy post-processing: complete protocol entries and send PDF protocol to all parties involved.
- Fast retrieval: create a well-organised digital project folder with a global search and filter function.
- Access at any time: even years later, you can retrieve all details at the push of a button.
Complete documentation helps prevent disputes and legal issues. Use BauMaster’s construction inspection app to ensure your documentation is legally compliant.
PRACTICE TIP: All participants in the construction inspection should be named in the protocol. Under no circumstances should you create different protocols (on the part of the client and the contractor). This could lead to misunderstandings.
