The Future of Building Inspections
Snap a photo, get instant code analysis against IRC, IBC, and NEC. Tell us about yourself and we'll reach out with pricing and access.
From photo to compliance report in seconds — built for the way construction professionals actually work.
Take a photo of any construction work. Specta's AI identifies materials, methods, and installation details — then checks them against the applicable building codes.
Full residential and commercial code analysis across 2,351 jurisdictions in all 50 states. Jurisdiction-specific amendments, climate zones, seismic categories, and local requirements included.
Specta thinks like both a seasoned contractor and a code official. You get practical field knowledge combined with precise code citations — not just a checklist.
Upload construction plans, then photograph what was actually built. Specta compares the two and flags discrepancies — catching issues before the inspector arrives.
AI generates a step-by-step permit roadmap tailored to your jurisdiction and project scope — from pre-application through certificate of occupancy.
Company branding on every report. Subcontractor pre-inspection mode. Shareable pass reports. Punch list tracking across your entire project portfolio.
Run pre-inspection checks before calling the building department. Catch failed items early, track deficiencies across projects, and keep your schedule on track. Compare plans versus as-built conditions to confirm work was done to spec — and if something was constructed differently than drawn, quickly disseminate that information to subs, owners, and design teams. Streamline project management and keep everyone aligned.
Pre-inspection mode built for your trade. Check your work against code before the GC or inspector sees it. Share pass reports directly with the project team.
AI-assisted review to supplement your inspection team. Consistent code analysis across inspectors, with full audit trails and photo documentation.
Standardize your quality oversight across multiple projects and jurisdictions. Company-branded reports, punch list tracking, and documented photo evidence for every site visit.
Whether you're tackling a DIY project, checking previously completed work, or keeping up with an active build — Specta helps you understand what meets code and what doesn't, no construction background needed.
Instantly become the expert your clients rely on. Replace formal, long-lead-time, expensive home inspections with AI-powered analysis in minutes, not weeks. Help buyers vet properties before making an offer and set sellers up for success by identifying items that would hang up closing during contingency and due diligence — so deals move forward, not sideways.
Specta analyzes photos against the International Residential Code (IRC), International Building Code (IBC), and the National Electrical Code (NEC). It also incorporates jurisdiction-specific amendments, IECC climate zones, seismic design categories, frost depths, wind speed requirements, and local ordinances for over 2,351 jurisdictions across all 50 US states and DC.
Specta uses AI to provide detailed code analysis with specific section citations. It's designed as a dual-expert system — combining practical contractor knowledge with code compliance expertise. While it's a powerful tool for catching issues early, it supplements (not replaces) professional inspection and engineering judgment.
Yes. Specta includes full offline support for areas with poor cell reception. Photos and scan data are queued locally on your device and automatically sync when you're back online. The app shell is cached for offline access.
Absolutely. Specta supports both residential (IRC-based) and commercial (IBC-based) inspections, including 19 base commercial inspection types: structural steel, concrete, masonry, fire protection, ADA accessibility, elevator, commercial MEP, exterior envelope, energy code, and more — plus state-specific types.
Yes. Every scan generates a shareable report with a secure link. Reports include your company branding, photos, AI analysis, code citations, and checklist results. You can also export project completion reports, punch lists, and pass reports.
Security is built into every layer. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Passwords require minimum 10 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, and accounts lock after 5 failed login attempts. Sessions time out after 30 minutes of inactivity. Role-based access control ensures users only see what they're authorized to see.
For photo assurance, Specta extracts and verifies EXIF metadata from every image — including GPS coordinates and timestamps — so you can confirm exactly where and when a photo was taken. This creates an auditable chain of evidence tying each inspection photo to a real location and time, not just a file pulled from a camera roll days later.
Shared reports use secure, cryptographically signed links that can't be guessed or tampered with. Every scan, login, and action is logged in a full audit trail.
