Is Specta for You?

If You Build It, Inspect It, or Pay for It — Specta Was Made for You

Specta works differently depending on your role. Here's exactly what it does for each type of user.

General Contractors

The Problem

You call for inspection, the inspector flags something you could have caught yourself, and now you're waiting 3-5 days for a re-inspection while the schedule slips and the client calls.

How Specta Helps

  • Run a pre-inspection scan before calling the building department — Specta checks your work against the same codes the inspector uses
  • Get jurisdiction-specific analysis with the actual code sections cited, not generic advice
  • Track deficiencies across all your projects in one punch list
  • Upload plans and compare what was built against what was drawn
  • Generate a permit roadmap tailored to your jurisdiction and project scope
  • Share branded inspection reports with clients, subs, and project owners

Subcontractors

The Problem

You do your work, move to the next job, and get a call that the inspection failed — now you have to come back, fix it, and lose a day. Worse, you're not always sure what the inspector in this specific jurisdiction is looking for.

How Specta Helps

  • Pre-Inspection mode built specifically for your trade — electrician, plumber, framer, HVAC, roofer, and more
  • Specta filters codes and inspection types to your trade, so you're not wading through irrelevant info
  • Take a photo of your finished work, get instant analysis against the applicable code sections
  • Generate a shareable pass report to send to the GC before you leave the site
  • Works offline — queue scans on the jobsite and sync when you have signal

Building Departments & Code Officials

The Problem

You're short-staffed. Inspection backlogs are growing. New inspectors need training. And permit applicants submit incomplete packages that eat up your review time.

How Specta Helps

  • AI-assisted preliminary review to supplement your team's capacity
  • Consistent code analysis across inspectors — same standards, same citations
  • Plan review mode catches incomplete submissions, missing details, and code conflicts before your staff spends time on them
  • Full photo documentation with EXIF metadata verification (GPS, timestamp)
  • Audit trails for every scan and decision

Homeowners

The Problem

You're paying for a renovation or new build, but you have no way to know if the work actually meets code. You're trusting the contractor completely, and you can't tell good work from bad work just by looking at it.

How Specta Helps

  • Snap photos of the work in progress and get plain-language explanations of what you're looking at
  • Specta translates code requirements into advice you can actually understand — no construction background needed
  • Verify that what was quoted matches what was built
  • Keep a documented record of the entire project with photos, analysis, and inspection results
  • Know the right questions to ask your contractor before it's too late

Owners Reps & 3rd-Party Inspectors

The Problem

You're responsible for quality on someone else's project. You need to document everything, catch issues early, and provide clear reports to the owner — often across multiple projects in different jurisdictions.

How Specta Helps

  • Standardize your inspection process with AI-assisted analysis across every site visit
  • Company-branded reports for every scan — professional documentation with your logo
  • Punch list tracking across your entire portfolio
  • Compare plans to as-built conditions with photo evidence
  • Project completion reports that capture the full record in one document

Real Estate Professionals

The Problem

You're showing properties with unpermitted additions, questionable renovations, or obvious code issues — but you're not a contractor, so it's hard to know what's actually a problem and what's fine.

How Specta Helps

  • Quick Scan mode for fast assessments during property tours
  • Identify potential code violations before they become deal-breakers
  • Document property conditions with AI analysis as a reference for buyers
  • Understand what permits may have been required vs. what was actually pulled
  • Professional reports to share with clients and other agents
