Certified Construction Site Inspections: Digital Evidence for Building Sites
Every construction site inspection, survey and progress verification generates data that must be authentic, traceable and defensible: photos of site conditions, videos of critical work phases, safety coordinator reports and non-conformity records.

Needs
What a construction site inspection report must contain
A construction site inspection report must contain the elements that tie the observation to a specific time and place: who was present and in what role, what was found, when and where. The minimum content considered complete in professional practice is the following.
- Date, time and location of the inspection
- Identification of the site, of the client and of the main contractor
- Names and roles of those present: works manager, safety coordinator, prevention and protection service manager, testing engineer, company representatives
- Purpose and reason for the visit
- Description of the site conditions and of the works in progress
- Photographic evidence supporting the observations
- Non-conformities found and requirements issued
- Deadlines assigned for remedial action
- Signatures of all participants
No regulation prescribes a single template. Directive 92/57/EEC on temporary or mobile construction sites requires the safety coordinator at the execution stage to verify that the safety plan is applied and to report any non-compliance, and the national laws implementing it set out the same duty. The format is free, but the content must be traceable to a specific time and place, because that is what determines whether it holds up when challenged.
Making it enforceable is the next step: a complete report with no certain date and no verifiable integrity remains a statement by one party. Certified capture from mobile ties every photographic record to the moment and the place where it was taken.
Who signs the construction site inspection report
The report is drawn up and signed by whoever carries out the inspection, that is the works manager, the safety coordinator at the execution stage or the prevention and protection service manager depending on the purpose of the visit, and countersigned by the representatives of the companies present. The signature of the companies does not attest agreement with the content, but acknowledgement of the requirements issued: it is what makes the remedial deadline enforceable.
Solution
TrueScreen integrates into the inspection and survey process, enabling site managers, safety coordinators and field engineers to certify photos, videos and documents directly from the construction site via mobile app.
Every piece of content receives immutable metadata: timestamp, GPS coordinates and a digital signature compliant with the eIDAS Regulation, ensuring full evidentiary value and resistance to repudiation in legal proceedings.
Certified data flows into a centralized, structured archive accessible to all project stakeholders, eliminating document dispersion and reducing report production time.
