NHBC<\/a> has announced the roll-out of a new technology assisted inspection app to help improve construction quality<\/h2>\n

The new technology assisted inspection<\/a>\u00a0app is being introduced by NHBC\u2019s inspection team and represents the first stage in the evolution of its technical risk management strategy.<\/p>\n

The technology assisted inspection app allows site managers to upload photographs for review. This will capture images of \u2018live\u2019 construction, allowing NHBC to work with the industry<\/a> more efficiently, and ensuring housebuilders continue work on-site following a digital review and feedback.<\/p>\n

NHBC building inspectors will also be providing onsite training to site management teams, starting in February, with the new app in addition to the usual key stage inspections.<\/p>\n

\u2018Continue to improve new home quality\u2019<\/h3>\n

Commenting on the launch, Diane Marshall, NHBC\u2019s operations director said: \u201cWe have spent many months piloting the app within the sector and new hope that it will bring a raft of benefits to site managers, with the overall aim of continuing the improvement of construction quality across the housebuilding industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our pilot project undertaken last year, 91% of site managers rated the app as easy to use, while it also helps create a useful audit trail tracking on-site activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs ever, construction quality is central to everything NHBC does and by embracing this new technology we will continue to improve new home quality for the benefit of consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
