RTI

For owner's representatives

Sign off on what you can see, from your phone.

You represent the owner without swinging a hammer: you review the work others did and put your name to it. RTI's client portal (on the Company plan) gives you the projects you are assigned, so you review the actual evidence and sign off onto the same tamper evident record the whole team works from.

The challenge

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

  • Today

    You are asked to sign off on units you can't physically walk, so you either rubber-stamp the GC's word or drive out to see each one yourself.

    With RTI

    Open the portal on your phone and review the approved inspection: the checklist answers and the photos behind them, per unit. You approve what the evidence shows, without walking all ninety doors.

  • Today

    Your approval lives in an email thread, the GC's proof lives somewhere else, and reconciling who accepted what is a job in itself.

    With RTI

    You sign off onto the same tamper evident record the crew submitted into. Owner approval and field submission sit on one hashed chain, so there is a single dated source of what was accepted.

  • Today

    Months later a defect surfaces and no one can establish what the owner's side actually reviewed and accepted at turnover.

    With RTI

    Every signoff is written to the SHA-256 activity log with your name and the time. An edited entry breaks the hash chain, so a change to who signed off, or when, shows when the chain is checked.

Questions owner's representatives ask

3 answers

I don't run the crews. How does a portal login work for me?
The GC gives you a portal scoped to the projects you are assigned, nothing more. You see the approved inspections on those projects, review the photos and checklist answers behind each one, and sign off from your phone. You review evidence; you don't administer anyone's workspace.
When I sign off, where does my approval actually go?
Onto the same tamper evident activity log the GC and subs work from, not a separate copy. Your signoff is hashed into the record with the timestamp, so the owner's approval and the crew's submission live on one chain, and any later rewrite of either shows.
How do I know the photos I'm approving weren't staged or reused from another unit?
Each photo is bound to the QR tag and checklist item it proves, with the capture time from the camera file when it has one. Unless the workspace turns photo integrity off, its reviewers see a badge on any photo that matches one already used there, so they look twice before approving. What you approve is the inspection of that tag.

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