Designed by inspectors, for inspectors.
Every feature was built around real inspection workflows — not adapted from generic project management software. From foundation to final walkthrough, Pocket Building Inspector keeps pace with you.
Built for everyone on the job
From the inspector writing corrections to the contractor catching issues before final — Pocket Building Inspector works for every trade.
Building Inspectors
Stop hauling code books to every site. Pull up quick references to multiple IBC and IRC sections on your phone before you write the correction notice.
Plan Reviewers
Cross-reference IBC, IMC, IPC, and NFPA requirements in seconds. Spend less time flipping pages and more time approving plans.
General Contractors
Know the code before the inspector arrives. Catch framing, plumbing, and electrical issues during rough-in — not at final.
Sub-Contractors
Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs can verify NEC, IPC, IFGC, and IMC requirements on the spot without calling the office.
ADA Compliance Officers
The ADA & IEBC tool covers accessibility requirements and existing building code for plan review, inspections, and tenant improvement projects.
Code Consultants
Advise clients with confidence. Cite the exact code section — right from your phone/iPad during the meeting.
What inspectors are saying
I used to carry three code books in my truck. Now I pull up the exact section on my phone before I even write the correction notice. This app paid for itself on day one.
The ADA & IEBC tool is a game changer for plan review. I can cross-reference accessibility requirements and existing building code without leaving my desk — or my car.
As a GC, catching code issues before the inspector shows up saves me thousands. I use Pocket Building Inspector at every rough-in now.
Finally an app built by someone who's actually been on a job site. The diagrams are clear, the code citations are accurate, and it works offline.
I can't believe the amount of information this app has for all construction disciplines. This has made my day more efficient and productive, good job!
As a project manager for a new 250+ single family development, this app has been invaluable!
As an Inspection Supervisor I am training new Inspectors. This app has really helped me cover the complex steps in construction phases. The pictures and diagrams do a great job of showing inspection details of each trade and make it easier for the new inspectors-in-training!
