This building defect report can provide you with a usable framework or editable free template.

Building defect reports serve a critical function in building, construction and the general maintenance and use of properties.

Defect reports highlight building non-conformances which need to be rectified. These defects can be inspected and uncovered during the building process in which contractors and subcontractors will rectify their defects, or they can be found and highlighted prior to or after a project has been finished, in which case the responsibility comes down to good proof and documentation.

This is where good building defects reports become important. Good reporting practices as well as a strong and reliable reporting template ensure you cover your back as well as improve quality.

This specific building defect report sample gives you a good idea of what a good defect report looks like, and the template can be used and customised for your own building defect processes.

In addition to the structure of the template, this template is entirely digital, meaning you can actually complete your defect reports in the field and while walking through the building. You can fill out information on your mobile or tablet, take photos, sign of digitally, and all of those records will be stored inside of the system for safe record keeping and easy finding at any time.

Once you have your defect records, they can stay inside of the system and also be exported as PDF or CSV documents like you see in the sample here - which means you can quickly share professional building defect reports with your clients or other parties.
