Field work

Field evidence that holds up when the invoice is questioned

Progress billing, warranty claims and compliance audits all rest on photographs taken somewhere you were not. Reused and staged photographs are the easiest fraud in the sector and the hardest to prove after the fact.

The problem

Nobody was there to watch

BILLING

Reused photographs support milestones

The same photograph of the same completed stage can support a milestone claim on three sites. Nothing in the file says otherwise.

WARRANTY

Damage claimed after the event

A photograph proves damage exists. It does not prove when, or that it was not caused after the risk transferred.

AUDIT

Compliance evidence is retrospective

An inspection record assembled after a notice is served looks identical to one taken on the day.

How CapSeal applies

Move the trust decision to the moment of capture

SITE

Sealed on site

The inspector captures through the app. Time, location coherence and capture integrity are measured on the device and bound into the file before it leaves the site.

BILLING

Milestones with evidence attached

A progress claim carries sealed captures. A quantity surveyor can verify them without trusting the contractor or us.

REUSE

The same photograph twice is visible

Sealed evidence carries an identity. Submitting it against a second milestone is detectable rather than invisible.

What this does not do

Where the evidence stops

CapSeal establishes that a field photograph was taken by that device, at that time, of a real scene, and has not been altered since.

  • It does not establish that the work is correct, complete, or to standard. That is the inspector's judgement and remains so.
  • It does not prove the photograph shows the site it is claimed to show, beyond what location coherence supports.
  • Offline capture in a basement or a remote site is common and handled - it routes to review rather than being penalised.

The full position is in the Product Disclosure. We would rather you knew the boundary before you bought than after.

Integration

Three things to wire up

  1. Capture Drop the iOS or Android SDK into the flow your users already complete. Our capture-integrity engine measures the scene on the device and seals the result before it leaves the handset.
  2. Verify One authenticated call at intake returns a verdict, a basis and a proof object. See the SDK.
  3. Route Automate on proven and declared. Send everything else to a human with the report attached.
