What does the Buildsnapper Assessor app do?

For assessors · 2 min read

Buildsnapper Assessor is the free companion app for assessors — the receiving end of what your builder clients capture. When a builder sends a plot's report to your email address, it appears in the app automatically, already structured: grouped by client, then project, then plot, with the report PDF a tap away.

What it does

  • Lists every active report sent to you, organised by client, project and plot.
  • Opens report PDFs on your phone, so you can review evidence on the move or on site.
  • Stays current by itself. A re-sent report updates in place; a superseded or deleted report disappears, so what you see is always the live set.

What it costs

Nothing, permanently. No trial period, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Buildsnapper is paid for by builders and site managers; the assessor side is free because organised evidence benefits everyone in the chain.

Getting started

  1. Install Buildsnapper Assessor from the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Tap Sign Up and submit the short application — your name, email address, company and telephone number. Use the email address builders send your reports to.
  3. Applications are reviewed by a person rather than approved automatically, which keeps the assessor side limited to genuine assessors. This usually takes one or two working days.
  4. Your approval email contains a link to set your password. Sign in with it in the app or on the portal — the same account works in both.

When the account is approved, every report any builder has ever sent to that email address is linked to it automatically — registering late loses nothing. If something you expected is still not showing, ask us through the support page.

App or portal?

The same account works in both. The app is built for reviewing reports; the web portal at assessor.buildsnapper.com adds the desk work — downloading photo ZIP archives, setting up client projects, buying and assigning client licences, uploading your logo, and the Photo Evidence Archive. Most assessors use the app for review and the portal for everything else.
