Development Services
VuSpex Offline Field Reports

As of November 1, 2024
Development Services is now offering VuSpex, a virtual building inspections tool that provides inspection services to contractors remotely, with the use of any device.

Offline inspection (field report) How it works
Contractors perform an onsite self-inspection, using the app to submit photos, video and notes for review by our inspector. Complete the inspection before you leave the job site and without inconvenience to the home or business owner.

Scheduling
Offline Reports will be completed within the VuSpex App and scheduled to a Licensed Inspector for review (See instructions below)

Best for…
Contractors, Owner-Builders, and Field Agents.
