Scaffolding inspection report template
Document scaffold condition from photos. Report ready in minutes.
Scaffolding inspections happen frequently. Before first use, after bad weather, every seven days on an active site. Each one needs documented. Standards, ties, boards, guardrails, base plates. You take the photos, then sit down to write up what you found.
InspectionReport takes your site photos and generates descriptions for each one. The AI picks up on scaffold components, connections, and visible condition. You review it, add your professional assessment, and export.
The result is a dated, branded report with photo evidence. Suitable for site files, client handovers, and regulatory compliance documentation.
Standard scaffolding inspection checklist items
- Base plates and sole boards: condition and level
- Standards (uprights): plumb, spacing, and condition
- Ledgers and transoms: secure fixing and spacing
- Guardrails, mid-rails, and toe boards
- Platform boards: condition, gaps, and securing
- Ties and anchors: spacing, condition, and attachment
- Access ladders and stairways
- Loading and signage compliance
How it works
Inspect the scaffold and photograph each element as you normally would. Foundations, connections, platforms, guardrails, signage.
Upload photos to InspectionReport. You can upload everything at once.
AI generates descriptions of each photo. It identifies scaffold components and flags visible condition issues.
Review and add your professional assessment. Note any non-compliances. Export the report for the site file.

Scaffold inspections are high-frequency and repetitive. The same components get checked every week. Writing "guardrails in place and secure, minimum 950mm height" gets old after the third report of the week.
Automated descriptions handle the standard observations. You focus on the exceptions and the professional judgment calls that actually matter.
On a busy site doing weekly inspections across multiple scaffolds, this saves hours per week. Time that most people currently spend after hours doing admin.
Frequently asked questions
Which scaffolding standards does this report cover?
The template format is flexible. It works with TG20, BS EN 12811, NASC guidelines, and most regional scaffolding regulations. You control the content and findings, so you can reference whichever standard applies to your site.
Can I use this for the 7-day scaffold inspection?
Yes. The report includes the inspection date, inspector name, and a full photo record of findings. It meets the documentation requirements for regular scaffold inspections on construction sites.
Does it handle different scaffold types?
The AI works with photos of any scaffold type: tube and fitting, system scaffold, mobile towers. It describes what it sees in the photo regardless of the system used.
Can I mark items as pass or fail?
You can add pass/fail notes, non-compliance descriptions, and recommended actions in the notes field for each finding.
How fast can I produce a scaffold inspection report?
Most scaffold inspection reports take about 10 minutes from upload to export. That includes reviewing and editing the AI descriptions. Compare that to 45-60 minutes writing from scratch.
