Post-works re-inspection report software

A return visit to record the result once repairs are done. Kaarr produces the report in your name as the visit ends, so the job can be closed with evidence.

Why re-inspect after works

A contractor saying a repair is finished is not the same as the repair being finished. A post-works re-inspection is the check that closes the loop: was the problem fixed, was the work done to a reasonable standard, and is the property left clean and safe.

For landlords it protects the spend. For tenants it confirms the problem has gone. For agents it is the evidence that the issue raised was resolved.

What a good report contains

  • The original issue, with a reference to the visit or report that raised it
  • What works were carried out, and by whom
  • Photographs showing the area now, dated at the visit
  • Whether the issue is resolved, partly resolved or not resolved
  • Anything new found while on site
  • Next steps if the job is not yet complete

How Kaarr runs it

  • Guided workflow in the mobile app for the return visit
  • Photographs, date, time and GPS recorded at the property, so the before and after can be set side by side
  • Works offline and syncs when you are back online
  • Report in your agency's name, generated as the visit ends

In social housing

Housing providers use the same step to close out remedial actions. A Category 1 hazard, an electrical defect or a damp and mould case is not finished until a re-inspection says so, and the record needs to show it. See Kaarr for housing associations.

Common questions

What is a post-works re-inspection?

A return visit after repairs or remedial works, to check the work was completed and the issue is resolved, and to record the result.

Who should carry it out?

Ideally someone independent of the contractor who did the work, such as the agent or a surveyor, so the check is genuine.

Can it be linked to the original issue?

The report should reference the visit that raised the issue. Dated photographs let the before and after be compared.

Closes the loop
Evidence the job is done

A dated re-inspection report is the record that the issue raised was actually put right.
