How to Manage Dilapidation Photos on Dashpivot

Capture and manage dilapidation photos on Dashpivot — document property conditions before, during, and after construction with standardised digital reports, photo markup, and centralised records accessible from any device.

Written by Tammy Slattery

Introduction

Dashpivot gives your team a consistent, digital way to capture and document property conditions across all stages of a construction or maintenance project — replacing manual note-taking and paper-based photography with streamlined digital workflows.

Use standardised templates, photo markup, and real-time record access to keep all stakeholders informed and maintain a transparent audit trail throughout the project lifecycle.
