reportai.au

Capture the site. Organise the evidence. Build the report.

reportai.au is two connected products. The ReportAI Field App is a free site documentation tool for phones and tablets — upload or sketch a floor plan, pin findings to it, photograph and annotate them, add written and voice notes, and export the job organised, all of it working with no signal. The ReportAI Report Builder turns that evidence into an AI-assisted inspection report structured around AS 4349.1, in Australian English, exported to Word.

Documenting a site does not require a professional qualification. Homeowners, builders, trades, site supervisors and building surveyors use the field app to record what they found and where it is, then send organised evidence to a consultant or engineer. Building inspectors, consultants and structural and civil engineers use both halves together.

Where the hours actually go

The inspection takes two hours. The report takes the evening — and almost none of that evening is engineering. It is a camera roll of two hundred photos with no labels and no locations, notes that came home separated from the shots they belong to, floor levels written on a pad and contoured by hand at a desk, and a spelling and grammar pass at nine at night. reportai.au removes that part: photos are captioned against the finding they belong to as you walk the site, levels are interpolated into contours on the plan, and the Word file arrives with its cover page, contents, numbered sections, photographic record and limitations already laid out in Australian English.

Which one do I need? Two products, two tiers each

The confusion this table exists to remove is specific, and two answer engines have already made it. The 3-a-day and 5-photo limits belong to the website’s AI report drafting and to nothing else. The field app counts neither — no daily limit, no photo limit, no export limit. Both halves need a free account. One Pro membership covers both products.

Field app — Free ($0)

Document any site, on a phone, offline. Reach for this on site: you need the findings recorded, photographed and exported before you leave.

Reports you can produce here: Dilapidation report · Construction stage — base / slab · Construction stage — frame · Single-issue defect advice · Progress photo record.

One section per job. Work stays on the device. A free account is required.

Field app — Pro (Included in Pro)

Everything in the free field app, plus: Reach for this when the building needs more than one plan, or the floor levels matter.

Reports you can produce here: Floor level survey · Multi-storey or multi-building job.

Report builder — Free ($0)

Draft an inspection report in your browser. Reach for this at the desk, when the job needs a written report rather than a site summary.

Reports you can produce here: Construction stage — detailed · Pre-handover inspection · Building defect report · Forensic investigation · Structural condition assessment · Remedial works scope.

These two numbers apply to AI report generation only — they are not limits on the field app. Built and downloaded in your browser, kept on that device. No saving a part-finished report to resume later.

Report builder — Pro ($59.99/mo · $49.99/mo billed yearly)

Everything in free AI reporting, plus: Reach for this when reports are the work: long ones, often, kept in one place.

Reports you can produce here: Construction stage — detailed · Pre-handover inspection · Building defect report · Forensic investigation · Structural condition assessment · Remedial works scope.

The 3-a-day and 5-photo limits belong to the website’s AI report drafting and to nothing else. The field app counts neither — no daily limit, no photo limit, no export limit. Both halves need a free account.

Two checks the draft runs on itself

Before a report is exported, the draft raises two things against its own text, and both are visible on screen for the engineer to accept or dismiss.

Worth answering lists the questions a reader of the report will ask that the text does not yet address — whether crack widths were measured and what the maximum was, whether the sub-floor was accessed and what proportion was inspected, whether there was evidence of active moisture or plumbing leakage on the day, which internal rooms were inaccessible. These are questions about the document, not about the building. reportai.au cannot know what was present on site; it can only notice that a reader will expect an answer the report has not given. Answering them is what turns a draft into a report that survives being read by somebody else's expert.

Worth looking up names the Australian Standard that governs the subject matter of a finding and explains why it is relevant — for example, that a floor-level survey used to compare relative movement is the field measurement a reactive-clay site assessment contemplates. It then states plainly that the clause number is approximate and that the edition should be confirmed first. reportai.au holds no licensed copy of any Australian Standard and cannot read one. This is a pointer to where an engineer might look, not a compliance finding, not a verification, and never a substitute for the Standard itself, which is sold by Standards Australia and must be purchased. The engineer confirms every reference before it goes into a signed document.

The engineer stays in the lead

The AI drafts. It never decides and it never signs. There is no auto-send and no report issued on your behalf — the draft sits in your account until you export it, and what you sign is what you have read. Sections are written from the findings, captions and voice notes you recorded at that address, not from a general question about buildings, and a second pass checks the draft for empty sections, leftover placeholder text and non-Australian spelling before you see it. Where it can still be wrong is stated plainly: AI drafting can misread a note or overstate a finding, and levels and contours are indicative rather than survey data. That is why the product ends at a draft for the engineer to correct, and why reportai.au does not certify anything.

Two halves of one job

The field app runs in your phone's browser and keeps working with no signal. Upload a floor plan or sketch one, drop numbered defect markers and set the direction each faces, attach photos, annotate them, and record spoken notes. All of that is free, with no photo limit and no daily limit. A free job covers one section; Pro splits a job into as many sections as the building needs — one per storey, one per elevation, however you work — each keeping its own plan, markers and photos. Open the ReportAI Field App — it runs in the phone browser, with nothing to install first.

The report builder on the website takes that evidence and drafts the report: every section written from what you captured, photos placed in the section they belong to, a quality-assurance pass over the draft, then export to Word with a cover page, contents, photographic record and limitations appendix.

What is free, and what Pro adds

The field app's documentation tools are free. Floor plans and sketches, numbered directional pins, unlimited photographs, sixteen annotation tools including scale, measurements, angles and areas, written and voice notes, fully offline operation, and export as an organised ZIP, a summary report or a Word file. There is no photo limit and no daily limit in the field app.

Free AI report generation on the website is limited to 3 reports a day and 5 photos per AI report. Those two limits apply to the website's report generator and to nothing else — they do not limit the field app. A free account is required for both halves.

ReportAI Pro is one membership covering the field app and the website together. There is no separate app subscription. In the field app it adds multiple sections per job, indicative floor levels with contours and CSV export, detail-zoom photo annotation, AI job summaries, and sending jobs to your account. On the website it adds unlimited AI reports on a fair-use basis for one inspector, 30 photos per report, cloud storage, saving and resuming a part-finished report, and your own logo in place of the reportai.au credit line.

One inspection, stage by stage

The home page shows this as an interactive walkthrough of the real app. The same seven stages are written out here, because a crawler that does not run JavaScript would otherwise see none of them — and this sequence is the clearest statement of what the product actually is: a connected inspection workflow rather than a report generator bolted onto a form.

Step 01 of 07 — Start the job on site (FREE)

Open a new inspection and it sits with the rest of your jobs — numbered, named and located, so the right one is a tap away when you are back at the desk.

Step 02 of 07 — Bring in the plan (FREE)

Upload a floor plan or sketch one on the spot, then drop numbered markers where the findings are. A free job covers one section; Pro splits a job into as many as the building needs — one per storey, one per elevation.

Step 03 of 07 — Photograph it and mark it up (FREE)

Arrows, callouts, shapes, text, measurements and angles straight over the photo, with crop and contrast controls — so the shot explains itself without a separate markup app.

Step 04 of 07 — Say it instead of typing it (FREE)

Record a spoken observation against the location you are standing in and it comes back transcribed. You read the text and correct it — nothing is filed on your behalf.

Step 05 of 07 — Record the call you made (FREE)

Approved, not approved, or approved with conditions — set against each finding, with its severity, notes and photos. The judgement is yours; the app just keeps it straight.

Step 06 of 07 — Floor levels, shaded and contoured (PRO)

Take spot levels against a datum and the plan is shaded by elevation — warm where the floor is high, cool where it has dropped — with contours traced through at your chosen interval. Step zones are supported, the level data exports as CSV, and the whole set exports to CAD as a DXF - contours, spot levels, boundary and step zones on separate layers, with the plan attached as an image rather than traced into lines.

Step 07 of 07 — A written report, with your evidence already in it (FREE)

The findings you recorded come back written up, each under its location and severity, with the annotated photograph and marked-up layout already placed. It arrives as a Word file with a cover page, contents and limitations — so the last job is reading it, not building it.

reportai.au is a report documentation tool. It does not carry out inspections, does not assess or certify the condition of any building, and does not provide engineering services. Reports are AI-assisted drafts prepared for the inspecting engineer to check, correct, and sign off. All professional judgement remains yours.
