Photo Documentation App — Organize, Annotate, Share

Your phone already holds the proof. A photo documentation app turns that proof into a clear story: before/during/after photos with annotations, organized by address, area, and timeline. Share a private link or export a branded PDF in minutes. Built for construction, field service, property management, restoration, and inspections.

Before/During/After Annotations on image Address & area structure PDF reports Private share links Offline capture

A day on-site, without the late-night report

“I walked the property once, snapped photos, circled the cracked flashing right on the image, and tagged ‘Roof — North Elevation’. In the truck, I exported a PDF for the owner and sent a private link to the PM. No 11pm catch-up.”

That’s the difference between a camera roll and a construction photo documentation flow: context is captured while the work happens, not after.

The mess: photos in chats, notes in texts, and reports made days later.
The fix: one place for photos + notes + areas + time, organized by address.
The result: faster approvals, fewer callbacks, and clear documentation for audits and claims.

What a photo documentation app must do

Organize by address & area

Jobs are living folders. Create areas like Unit 204 — Kitchen or Roof — North. Everything stays in context for teams, clients, or adjusters.

Annotate on the image

Draw arrows, add text, and mark measurements, serials, or defects. Inspection photo app clarity without extra tools.

Timeline with metadata

See before/during/after in order, with date/time and (optionally) location. Perfect for compliance and property damage documentation.

Share links & PDFs

Send a read-only link filtered by date/area, or export a branded PDF report for clients, GCs, insurers, or facility managers.

Works offline

Capture on-site without signal. Sync later — your structure and annotations remain intact.

Optional billing

Turn evidence into approvals: estimates, work orders, invoices, and online payments connected to the same job thread.

The 4-step workflow (field-friendly)

1
Create the job by address and add areas you’ll visit.
2
Capture & annotate key points: defects, measurements, serials.
3
Tag by trade, zone, asset, or priority to find anything in seconds.
4
Share a private link or export a PDF report on the spot.

No more stitching photos at night. The story writes itself while you walk the site.

Where it shines

Construction & field service

  • Jobsite photos, punch lists, change orders with visual proof.
  • HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, roofing, concrete, landscaping.

Property management

  • Move-in/move-out checklists, unit turnovers, maintenance photo logs.

Restoration & claims

  • Water/fire/mold evidence, moisture readings, mitigation timelines.
  • Insurance claim photos, property damage documentation, CAT events.

Inspections & facilities

  • Safety audits, compliance proof, asset condition tracking.

Reports & sharing customers understand

Not everyone needs every photo. Filter by date or area and send a private link, or export a tidy PDF: cover page, summary, highlights per area, and attachments. Great for approvals, closeout, warranties, and audit trails.
