What… is Inspex?
Disruptive technology that has created a new market opportunity; we’ve applied a different set of values. We’re doing things differently and better than anything done before.
Our business application is having a serious impact on the status quo. It is changing the way the property industry thinks.
Why? Market Opportunity…
Market Opportunity
Why | Market Opportunity
‘A comprehensive certification system is the logical
solution, where every rented unit would be legally
obliged to have regulation standards cert. displayed
on the wall. That way, it will be clear that health and
safety; building regulations, and energy efficiency
standards are compliant with the law.’ (Senator A. Hayden Housing, Finance, Children 2013)
Market Opportunity
Why | Market Opportunity
‘I have called for a certification system, as opposed to
the current system, like an NCT for rented housing so
that no landlord is entitled to let housing without a
certificate outlining the property is fit for purpose
and complies with the standards.’
(Minister J. O’Sullivan, Environment, Community & Local Government Housing and Planning 2013)
Hey there…..

‘Since 2010, we've been working on this.
The Inspection Solution is here.’

Our Mission
Who | Mission Statement
Our Mission With our vast experience of property inspection, we regret to advise that the standard of accommodation can be very poor with many properties being unfit for purpose. Our mission is to stay focused, use technology to set high inspection standards and lead the way in property certification. We will continue to promote the benefits of a transparent independent inspection process to improve accommodation standards generally. This will ensure inspection standards are established and that our actions result in higher standards and better regulation overall. We are prepared to meet the challenge of establishing the standard to which all property can be inspected.
Our Goals To be honest, impartial, fair and consistent in our
actions and decisions
To earn respect by being respectful of others
To embrace new technology maximising its potential
for our company and for our clients
To ensure that the business of renting, buying and
selling property is transparent
To set higher standards for accommodation buyers and
sellers alike
To convey information clearly to clients to empower
the decision makers.
Our solutions deliver because they've evolved from practical experience. Here's just some reasons why our inspection solution is different..
1. Immediate Benefits
Why | We Are Different
Ready-to-go solution Facilitates inspection audits to
regulations & standards Several pre-populated
inspection templates Streamlines inspection process Report compiles as Inspection
occurs Eliminates paperwork Reduces desk time - Inspectors,
Engineers, Architects Improves operational efficiency Runs on several mobile devices Supports existing IT systems Cost effective
2. Methodology
Using mobile devices and pre-populated templates the approved Inspex Inspector works in a planned sequence every time
Inspector chooses from detailed drop-down lists
A colour coded 0-5 score rating makes sense and clearly explains condition
All inspection ratings are added up to reach an average score for a property
Full Report compiles as inspection takes place
Following a completed inspection a detailed Report is available in any chosen format (*.xml, *.pdf, *.doc) or uploaded to an online viewing portal
3. Certification
Inspex provides a BIR Certificate for properties inspected to the Inspex Standard

inspect the areas and rooms
within a property. The
technology guides the Inspector
through the inspection in a

‘The Inspex award winning entry was selected because of the comprehensive design which takes the tedium out of report writing and provides a software template for the ease of preparing an inspection.’ Inspex will hold particular appeal for Architects and Engineers. I believe there are plans to develop a ‘Pay-As-You-Go’ model which will enable users to download the Inspex template onto their own device.’

‘For the average person, the regulations and standards
relating to different aspects of buildings (and their use)
are a minefield and very difficult to negotiate at the
best of times.
On the other hand, the contemporary Inspex system
directly relates regulations and standards to different
elements of a building.’

‘It was a remarkable report. It was completely comprehensive and even indicated down to the kitchen cabinet door which needed to be replaced. The report was absolutely clear and easy to understand. We couldn't fault it.' I would definitely recommend the service offered by Inspex.ie.'
