Inspections are built into the ClickHome Construction module and processes. It is used to guide you or other personnel through specific areas and check for potential issues.

Initiating Inspections

An inspection can be initiated in 4 different ways.

Mandatory Task Inspection

This is configured against a specific task for the callsheet and is used to conduct a specific type of inspection before certain work is completed in the construction process. eg a Frame inspection after the frame is installed, or a quality inspection after fixing carpenter has finished.

Trade/Supplier Inspection

This is designed to enforce WHS (OH&S) with your trades. A specific Frequency will be set for this is usually a long one such as every 3 months or 6 months. Every time a resource (trade or supplier) for a task matching the inspection type is scheduled or called up, the system checks to see when the last inspection for that resource was done and if it exceeds the frequency. This is like Just in Time inspections for WHS. If you don’t use a trade for 6 months due to workload, the supervisor will be prompted to conduct the inspection such as make sure his insurance and certificates are still current etc.

AdHoc Inspection

This is generated by you on the iPad whenever it is required.

Job or Safety Inspection

This is a recurring inspection that needs to happen for each job on a timed Frequency. An example would be routine site safety inspection For every 2 weeks. When the two weeks are up a new task will pop up in your callsheet asking you to do a site safety inspection.

Different Inspection Types

There are different types of inspections that can appear on the iPad.

• Normal Inspection – Every question and area must be responded to – areas can be skipped, but you will be guided through each question. This is suited to a process where the company wants to capture every possible issue, for management of the construction team and better manage the risks and potential rework.
• PCI Inspection Phase 1 – PCI presents a list of possible questions and areas that you can raise issues with, but it starts with a blank list, and only the questions you choose to address will be captured. This is ideally suited to conducting the Practical Completion Inspection where the aim is to capture the clients issues, and to not present them with long list of issues to ponder.
• PCI Inspection Phase 2 – This can only be used to follow on from the PCI Phase 1 – and only generates a prompt to address and inspect those issues raised in the corresponding phase 1.

Inspection Process

The inspection process can be initiated in a number of ways as described above, but the questions and the types of valid answers are what the Supervisor sees, and what can be reported on.

Questions can be repeated for a number of areas, or can be configured to a single area such as Internal, External or simply Site. Areas must be setup separately. Each question can be configured to accept one of the following range values.

• Yes, No
• Zero to Ten (0 to 10)
• Zero to One Thousand (0 to 1000)
• Yes, No, NA

For each question we can also specify specific actions.

• Fail Below – If the answer to the question is not sufficient, then the entire inspection fails. This can lead to escalation actions (eg notify Construction Manager, Mark trade as inactive, redo work etc)
• Comment Below – If the answer to the question is not sufficient, then force to enter comments why.
• Photo Below – If the answer to the question is not sufficient, then force to take a photo as proof.
