Repair guidance
BuildStack Analysis built on UK building pathology
Add your site observation and photos. BuildStack identifies the materials present, considers differential diagnoses, and generates a probable cause and NBS-style repair scope - contextual to your specific defect, not a generic template. You review, edit, and approve before anything reaches the client.
BuildStack works from your notes, not generic templates. Your professional judgement stays in control throughout.
Photo defect analysis
Attach a photo. Get BuildStack-assisted analysis.
Upload site photos directly against each logged defect. BuildStack uses the photo evidence alongside your notes to generate BuildStack-assisted probable cause and repair guidance. You review, edit, and approve - nothing reaches the client without your sign-off.
Attach photos from your site visit to each defect. They appear in your inspection report and schedule of works automatically - no re-captioning, no file transfers.
BuildStack draws on the attached photos and your site notes to generate contextual guidance - not generic templates. Fully editable before saving to the defect record.
Photos are embedded directly into your inspection report. Every photo you attach appears alongside the relevant defect entry in the exported Word document - no re-captioning, no copying files between tools, no manual insertion.
The problem
Still losing hours to admin after every site visit?
Most property professionals are doing this job twice. Once on site. Once back at the desk. BuildStack fixes the second half.
- ✗Site notes on your phone, defect photos in WhatsApp, repair scope in a Word draft - all disconnected
- ✗Rebuilding the same report template from scratch on every single instruction
- ✗Spending your evening writing up a site visit you finished at lunchtime
- ✗AI tools that give generic advice that could apply to any building anywhere
- ✗Reports that look different every time - because they depend on who is doing the typing
- ✓Every defect, photo, and note in one place from the moment you start logging back at your desk
- ✓Inspection report and schedule of works generated automatically - same data, zero reformatting
- ✓Back from site, run Analysis, issue a client-ready Word document the same day

There is a better way.
BuildStack gives you a single workflow - from first site note to issued deliverable. Log your defects and photos, run Analysis, review and refine the drafts, then export client-ready Word documents. No template rebuilding, no reformatting, no starting from scratch.

Site visit to signed-off deliverable, start to finish
Create a project
Set up a project with the property address and client details. Every defect, photo, and note goes into one place from day one - nothing to reconstruct later.
Log your site findings
Log each defect with severity, location, and site notes. Attach photos from your camera roll. Back at your desk, everything is already structured and waiting.
Run Analysis
Generate probable cause and repair scope for each defect. BuildStack draws on UK building pathology knowledge and your specific site notes - not generic templates.
Export and issue
Export to Word or Excel. Review and refine before you issue - BuildStack gives you the time to reflect on your notes and the document before it goes to the client. No template rebuilding, no reformatting.
Built for professionals
Built around your professional judgement
Most inspection apps capture your data and generate a report automatically. BuildStack gives you analysis drafts you review, refine, and issue as your own work. The time between logging and issuing is yours - for reflection, for quality, for professional judgement.

Repair Guidance
Repair scope written for you, per defect
Run Analysis on any logged defect to get professionally worded probable cause and recommended remediation - based on your site notes, severity, and location. Saves the time you'd otherwise spend writing repair scope from scratch. Edit, refine, issue.

Every issue logged back at your desk with severity, location, trade, photos, and status. Structured from the start - nothing to reformat later.
Run Analysis on any logged defect. Get professionally worded guidance based on your site notes and UK building pathology - not a generic template.
All defects, observations, probable causes, recommendations, and photos in a structured, formatted Word document. Ready to review, finalise, and send to the client.

The maths: A construction professional saving 2 hours per instruction at £150/hour covers the cost of Solo in under 20 minutes of billable time recovered. Most users save far more than that.
Built on UK building pathology
BuildStack identified MgO board from site photos - without being told what material it was.
Most AI gives you the same answer regardless of what material is in the photo. BuildStack identifies UK-specific materials, applies differential diagnosis, flags regulatory obligations, and writes repair scopes to specification standard.
The MgO identification, fire stopping flag, and removal recommendation were all generated from the site note alone. No material was specified in the input.
Material identification from photos
Identifies MgO board, cavity tie failure, EIFS defects, and other UK-specific material failures directly from site photographs - without being told what to look for.
NBS-style repair scopes
Repair specifications written with materials named, standards referenced, and trades sequenced in the correct order - ready to issue to a contractor.
Building Regulations compliance flags
Automatically identifies fire stopping, structural stability, party wall, and other regulatory compliance obligations relevant to the defect.
Professional liability protection
All outputs use appropriately hedged professional language - presenting findings as observations for the named surveyor to review and approve.
Every Analysis output is a professional first draft - you review, edit, and approve before anything reaches your client.
Try it on a real job. If it does not save you time, you have lost nothing.
Set up a real project, log your defects, run Analysis, and export a client-ready Word document. If it does not save you time, walk away. It costs you nothing to find out.

FAQ
Common questions
How does the free trial work?
You get 7 days of full access with no credit card required. At the end of the trial you can upgrade to a paid plan, or let it lapse - no commitments, no automatic charges.
Can I produce actual Word documents from BuildStack?
Yes. BuildStack exports both inspection reports and schedules of works as formatted .docx files, ready to send to clients or continue editing in Microsoft Word.
How does BuildStack Analysis work?
When you log a defect, you can run BuildStack Analysis to get contextual guidance on likely causes and recommended remediation approaches. BuildStack uses your defect description, severity, and site notes - it is there to support your professional judgement, not replace it.
Who is responsible for the generated content?
You are. BuildStack is an assistant tool - it drafts probable cause and repair guidance based on your site notes. You review, edit, and approve everything before it reaches a client. BuildStack accepts no liability for outputs used without professional review.
Do I need to be RICS-qualified to use BuildStack?
No. BuildStack is designed for any property professional producing defect reports, schedules of works, or inspection documentation. RICS qualification is not required - but the outputs are written to the standard expected of one.
Can I upgrade or cancel at any time?
Yes. Solo and Professional plans are monthly subscriptions with no minimum term. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from your billing settings at any time. Single Project is a one-off payment.
Does BuildStack include pricing data or rate libraries?
We're building integrations with pricing data sources - this is coming soon. For now, the priced schedule uses your own rates which you can enter and adjust per item.
You did not qualify to spend your evenings reformatting Word documents.
BuildStack handles the admin. You handle the professional judgement. 7 days free - no card required.
