Creating PDF & Excel Inspection Reports with AuditBricks

Clients and contractors expect clear, professional inspection reports that show every snag, defect and issue on site. AuditBricks helps you move from raw data in the app to polished PDF and Excel reports in minutes.

What goes into a good inspection report?

An effective report should include:

• Project information and client details.
• Clear list of snags/defects with locations and assignees.
• Status of each item and important dates.
• Photos (and markup) that make each issue obvious.

Generating reports from AuditBricks

Because your snag list, defect list and issue list already live inside AuditBricks projects and locations, creating reports is straightforward. You can:

• Filter by project, location, assignee or status.
• Choose whether to include photos or only text details.
• Export as a PDF report for clients or an Excel report for further analysis.

Use cases for PDF vs Excel

Both formats have their place:

• PDF: ideal for client presentations, sign‑off, and records that should not be edited.
• Excel: useful when you want to sort, filter or combine data across multiple inspections or projects.

Keeping your templates consistent

Because AuditBricks uses your project data (client name, site address, auditor name) consistently, every report follows the same structure – making it easier for clients and contractors to read and trust your inspection documents.

Instead of manually copying items into Word or spreadsheets, AuditBricks lets you create polished inspection reports directly from your snag and defect lists.
