FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why switch from manual to software?

Manual processes are error-prone and time-consuming. Contractors spend 45+ minutes daily on status checks alone. InspectPilot automates scheduling, tracking, and compliance.

How much time does it save?

8–10 hours per week on inspection-related admin: scheduling, status checking, correction tracking, and trade coordination.

Do I lose control of the process?

No. You can use approval mode where InspectPilot recommends and you confirm, or auto mode where it handles everything. You stay in control.

What if I only have 1–2 active projects?

The free Starter plan covers up to 2 permits with basic tracking and scheduling reminders. Upgrade to Pro when you're ready for full automation.
