NexGenSpec
Home & Commercial Inspections
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scan a room with LiDAR to auto-generate a floor plan. Mark up defects, capture e-signatures, and deliver a tamper-evident PDF — all on your device, before you leave.
Professional inspection reports for home AND commercial property, built on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. NexGenSpec lets residential and building inspectors capture a job, document every defect with photos, and hand the client a signed, polished PDF before leaving the site. One workflow for single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial assets.
Walk the property, snap photos, mark up findings, tag defects by severity, and finalize a tamper-evident report your clients and their agents can trust.
KEY FEATURES
- LiDAR room capture: scan a space in 3D and auto-generate a top-down floor plan plus a USDZ model. LiDAR scanning requires a compatible device.
- Photo annotation: draw freehand, add arrows and circles, pick red/yellow/green, with full undo/redo — Apple Pencil or finger. Marks stay editable and never overwrite the original photo.
- Structured findings: rate each item's status (Inspected / Not Inspected / Not Present) and severity, write up Location, Observed, Implication, Recommendation, and comments, add a contractor referral tag, or omit any item from the client report.
- Add custom items to any section on the fly, beyond your template.
- Attach it all: in-app photos and walk-through video, plus drone and thermal imagery you import from your photo library, organized right on the inspection.
- Reminders and to-dos: set per-inspection reminders with optional due dates and checkable task lists so nothing gets missed on site.
- Custom templates: duplicate the built-in template or create your own sections and items, reorder, and reuse across jobs.
- Severity-rated reports: cover page, a dedicated severity-sorted defect summary table with safety/major/marginal/minor badges, and per-item photo cards with annotations baked in.
- Your branding: import your company logo and add name, license number, and contact details to auto-fill every report and replace the NexGenSpec logo on PDFs.
- Real estate agents: capture buyer's and listing agent details for the report and CC them when you send.
- Private by design: your inspections stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud — never our servers. Works fully offline, with a Local-Only mode.
- Tamper-evident: each finalized report is sealed with a unique Report ID and SHA-256 integrity hash, so any change to the sealed data is flagged.
- Locked signatures: capture inspector and client signatures on a signature pad, each stamped with a timestamp and device ID, for a defensible record.
- Inspection timer: time on site is tracked automatically, pausing when you switch away and resuming when you return.
- Invoicing: build a price/services/total invoice, email the report and invoice to your client, CC agents, and track sent/paid status.
- Export anywhere: paginated US-Letter PDF, a Pro plain-text quick summary, or a full ZIP backup (report, photos, actual video files, manifest, integrity file). Reports auto-file by property address and a built-in browser lets you re-share past PDFs and backups.
- Scheduling: add inspections to your device calendar with reminders, view an in-app month calendar, and see conflicts with your other events.
- Weather logged automatically; current-location address auto-fill.
- Sign in with Apple or email, with a recovery email, secure account management, and account deletion with a receipt.
