Reports

The write-up that's already half written.

Your site notes, readings and photographs are already in the report. Last year's entries sit beside each element. ARCH checks the gaps before your STE2 does.

Element by element

Write fast, with the history alongside.

Pick an element, set status and condition, and write or dictate the narrative. Standard phrases are a tap away, and the previous checked report's entry is shown underneath to start from.

  • Previous narratives one tap away; condition grades never copied
  • Dictate and read back on any narrative
  • Live defects brought forward from the last report, one decision each
  • Photographs of each element attached where they belong

Checks before submitting

Fewer returns, because the gaps are caught first.

Every report is checked as you write: required boxes, placeholder wording, "crack" in the text, scour over 0.15 m, photographs without captions. Ask the AI for a second read and it flags inconsistencies between sections too.

  • Must fix items block submission until done
  • Worth-a-look warnings for the examiner to decide
  • Every return carries a reason and a category, so you see what keeps coming back

Printed in the layout your client expects.

The report is built from the format itself, so what you write is what prints, with your client's and your own logos on every page and a submission pack fingerprinted on issue.

Review

From submission to issue, in one place.

Submit

When nothing blocks it, one press sends the report to your reviewing engineer, with a reminder of your usual return themes.

Review

A queue of reports to check, the previous examination beside them, and returns that say exactly what to fix.

Issue

The office builds the submission pack: PDF, photographs and data, fingerprinted and recorded against the examination.
