DefectIO
DefectIO

Every building defect, pinned to the exact spot on a 3D model.

Drone photogrammetry turns a roof or facade into a measurable model. DefectIO lets you log, measure and report each defect on it, then hand the fixes to contractors and track them to sign-off.

What's inside

Built around how defects actually get fixed.

Facades

Defects by level and drop

Abseil teams log against the model instead of estimating where they are on the wall.

Severity

High, Med, Low at a glance

Colour-coded pins and a register you can filter, sort and export.

Reports

Issued, versioned, shareable

Each issued PDF is archived as a revision with a link you can send.

Contractors

Only their tasks

Before and after photos, completion sign-off, and a notification up the chain.

Access

One login, every project

Users see the projects they've been added to, with permissions set by role.

Capture

Survey-grade drone data

Flown by Rapid Capture, specialists in LiDAR and photogrammetry of civil infrastructure.
