Who is Buildsnapper for?

Buildsnapper is for people who have to produce Part L photographic evidence and would rather not run that obligation out of WhatsApp threads and a camera roll. If an energy assessor, OCDEA or building control body is asking you for geotagged, per-plot, Appendix-B-organised photographs, you are who it was built for.

It fits you if you are

• An SME housebuilder or general contractor building new homes in England or Wales — the core user. Guided section-by-section capture per plot, automatic GPS and timestamps, one-tap assessor-ready reports.
• A self-builder managing your own Part L evidence on a single dwelling. The single-plot case is the simplest one the app handles, and the same 14-day trial applies.
• A site or project manager running multiple plots — the builders add your email address to their projects, and Buildsnapper Manager shows every plot's Appendix B progress on its row, without driving to each site.
• A trade or subcontractor capturing evidence on behalf of the principal contractor, on your own device with your own licence.
• An energy assessor (DEA, OCDEA, BREL assessor) on the receiving end — the assessor app and web portal are free, permanently.

It is probably not for you if

• You want a general project-management or snagging platform. Buildsnapper does one job — Part L photographic evidence — deliberately. There are no task boards, RFIs or programme charts.
• You want one subscription with photos syncing across a whole team's phones. One licence covers one capturing device, and a plot's photos stay on the device that captured them, by design, so evidence attribution is never in doubt. Two people capturing means two licences. If that model does not fit how you work, Buildsnapper may be the wrong tool — we would rather say so plainly than have you pay for something that fights you.
• You are outside England and Wales. The workflow is built around Approved Document L's Appendix B evidence regime.

Scale

The same app covers one plot or dozens in parallel on a single device: unlimited projects, plots, photos and reports on every plan, with no per-plot fees ever. Where a client's build volume outgrows individual subscriptions, assessors can supply bulk licences.
