Frequently asked questions
What is construction software for house builders?
It is one system for the plot record: stage inspections, photographs, snags, safety and the certificates that make up the handover pack. Insite captures each of those on a phone at the plot and holds them against the plot number, so every house on the development is built and evidenced the same way.
Can we use our own stage inspections?
Yes. Your foundation, superstructure, pre-plaster and pre-completion sheets are digitised once and issued to every plot on the development, so plot 4 and plot 44 are checked the same way. Updating a sheet pushes the change to every live plot immediately.
Does it handle warranty and building control inspections?
Yes. Warranty stages and building control hold points are evidenced as the plot is built, with photographs against each one and a name and time on the sign-off. When the inspector arrives, the visit confirms the record rather than starting a search for it, and the evidence exports in minutes.
How does it work across a development with many plots?
Every plot and every stage sits on one board, so you can see which plots are signed off, in progress or held without walking the site or ringing round. Progress, labour and hold-ups are captured daily, including the infrastructure works that gate the next release.
Can customer care use the same record?
Yes. The plot history is retained after completion, so when a customer reports an issue the build record is already there: who did the work, when, and what it looked like. The defect is assigned to the trade who owns it and closed out with a photograph.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. Everything is captured offline on the plot, including photographs and signatures, and syncs as soon as the device is back in range. Part-built houses and rural sites are the normal case, not the exception.
Will our trades and subcontractors use it?
They complete your checks on their own phones, with photographs attached line by line, and the evidence lands against the plot rather than arriving as paperwork at month end. The forms are the same on every plot, and training fits into a single toolbox talk.
How quickly can we roll it out?
Days rather than months. Your stage sheets are configured for you, the app runs on iOS, Android and web, and most house builders start on one phase before rolling out across the development.
