So much of a high-end home gets covered by finishes. How do we protect ourselves?

With the photo gate on every pre-cover item. Shower-pan flood tests, waterproofing behind tile, in-wall valves and blocking cannot be submitted until the photos are attached, so the work behind the marble and millwork is documented while it is still visible.

Our client wants to walk the house at each milestone. Can they sign off on their own?

Yes. You give the owner a portal login scoped to their home. They review the evidence and sign off from their phone at pre-drywall, pre-cover and completion, and every signoff lands on the same tamper-evident record your crews work from.

Warranty issues on a premium home can surface years later. What is our defense?

The record. Every submission is stamped with the item, the tag, the date and the person, and the activity log hashes each entry over the last, so when a claim arrives you can show exactly what was verified and when, and you keep the file whether or not you still subscribe.

Custom homes

One client, one house, and no covered work left unproven.

A custom home is a single demanding client and a long list of things that disappear behind finishes. RTI captures the pre-drywall and pre-cover proof as the trades work, and lets the owner walk and sign off from their phone, so the record protects both of you long after move-in.

What gets in the way, and what RTI does about it

Today

The shower pan and waterproofing disappear behind imported tile, and the only proof they were done right is the tile setter's word.

With RTI

The pre-cover submission is photo-gated on the flood test and membrane, so the record of the waterproofing exists before a single tile covers it.

Today

The owner wants to sign off at every milestone but is rarely on site, so approvals drift and turn into email chains.

With RTI

A scoped portal login lets the owner review the evidence and sign off from their phone, and each signoff lands on the same tamper-evident record the crews built.

Today

A warranty claim lands three years after move-in and you are defending the build from memory and a shoebox of photos.

With RTI

Every item is dated and attributed on a hash-chained log, so you can show exactly what was verified and when, and the file stays yours to export long after the job closed.
