Multifamily & apartments

Two hundred doors, one standard behind each one.

A multifamily job is the same unit poured over and over. Build one checklist per unit type, bind it to every door, and let the tag list show which units are through rough-in and which are still open, building by building and floor by floor.

The RTI mobile app's home screen: start an inspection by scanning a tag, seven inspections waiting on a decision, and the week in numbers
An electrical rough-in inspection under review in the RTI mobile app: six jobsite photos of wiring, boxes and the panel, with send back and approve

The challenge

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

  • Today

    Two hundred units means two hundred versions of the same walk, and the only proof they went the same way is the superintendent's memory of a long spring.

    With RTI

    Build the checklist once per unit type and bind it to every door of that type. Unit 108 and unit 411 open the identical list with the identical photo requirement, so repetition is documented instead of remembered.

  • Today

    Someone asks how many units are through rough-in and the honest answer is a guess off a dry-erase grid that was last updated Tuesday.

    With RTI

    Every unit's latest status rolls up by building and floor on the tag list, and every submission sits in its lane on the review board, so 'how many are through' is a number you see, not a number you reconstruct.

  • Today

    A leak surfaces in unit 312 a year in and nobody can find who signed off the rough-in or what it looked like before the wall closed.

    With RTI

    Every submission and review decision is written to an activity log that hashes each entry over the previous one with SHA-256. The pre-drywall photos for unit 312 sit on its tag, dated and attributable, and who submitted and who approved the rough-in is on the hash chained log, where a later edit shows.

Questions multifamily & apartments ask

3 answers

We have five unit types across three buildings. Do we build a checklist for every door?
No. You build one checklist per unit type and bind it to every door of that type. The one-bedroom list is authored once and lives on all sixty one-bedroom tags, so the walk is identical on unit 108 and unit 411 without anyone rebuilding it.
How do we see which units are actually through and which are still open?
The tag list. Each building and floor rolls its units up into approved, in review, rework and not inspected, and every submitted unit sits on the review board in submitted, in review, approved or sent back. You stop counting from a whiteboard and start reading it off the same record the crews submit to.
Rough-in gets covered before the pre-drywall photos are taken. Can RTI stop that?
RTI can't hold the drywall crew, but it won't take a pre-drywall inspection without the photos. The photo gate keeps the submit button locked until every required photo is attached, and the unit reads as not inspected until a walk is submitted, so a missed walk shows before the floor is boarded.

Put it on a real job.

Tag one area, run one walk, and see the record it leaves behind.
