The compliance problem on site

Without TotalCertify

  • Photos buried in group chats and personal phones
  • No proof of where or when a photo was taken
  • Inspectors chasing evidence by email
  • Opening up finished work to prove what's behind it

With TotalCertify

  • Evidence filed against the right stage, plot by plot
  • Location, date and time burned into every photo
  • One shareable portal for building control
  • A complete report for the client and the file

The tools

Everything a site team needs to record, prove and hand over building regulations photo evidence.

Stamped camera capture

Shoot from the site camera with stage, GPS, date and time burned into the image itself.

GPS location proof

Every photo records latitude and longitude and plots on a map for the inspector.

Offline on site

No signal in the footings? Photos queue on the phone and upload the moment you reconnect.

Inspector portal link

Send building control one link. No account, no app, no chasing photos over WhatsApp.

One-tap compliance report

Export a print-ready PDF of every stage, photo, location and sign-off for the handover pack.

Evidence you can defend

Stamps are written into the photo at capture, so evidence can't be separated from its record.

How it works

01

Set up the plot

Create a project — the five Part L stages are pre-loaded, and you can add your own.

02

Capture as you build

Snap each stage on your phone. Location, time and notes are attached automatically.

03

Share with the inspector

Copy the portal link. They review the timeline and sign off each stage.

04

Export the record

Download the compliance PDF for building control, the client and the handover file.

What it saves you

  • No more missing photos when building control asks for cavity or insulation evidence
  • Fewer return visits and less opening-up of completed work
  • One tidy record per plot instead of photos scattered across phones and chats
  • Faster sign-off because inspectors get organised, location-proven evidence

Who it's for

Residential builders

Prove junctions, insulation and airtightness without chasing photos.

Developers

One consistent evidence standard across every plot and subcontractor.

Building control

Review a location-stamped timeline and sign off stages by link.

Retrofit assessors

Document fabric upgrades and evidence for handover packs.

Questions we get asked

Does it work without signal on site?

Yes. Photos are stamped and stored on the phone, then upload automatically once you have signal or Wi-Fi again.

Do inspectors need an account?

No. You share a private link and they can review the evidence timeline and sign off stages straight away.

Which stages are included?

Substructure and foundations, damp proofing and ground floor, external walls and cavity insulation, roof structure and membrane, and first fix services. You can add any extra stages you need.

Can I use it on my phone like an app?

Yes. TotalCertify installs to your home screen from the browser and runs full screen, including offline.
