HOA common-area inspections · Developer handoff v0.4
RoveCheck is a phone-first photo workflow. Set up each neighborhood once, take photos on site without starting a session, and pull together the day's review back at the office.
This phone works. Press the shutter, confirm the area, pick a tag and save. Everything is simulated, nothing leaves your browser.
The app
The same people run the agency and do the inspections, so nobody switches roles. Setup, capture and review all sit under three tabs.
The camera is the first screen. Take the photo, confirm where it belongs, choose a tag, write a line and save.
A name, an optional picture, a solid outer boundary, dotted subareas and the neighborhood's own tags.
Pick a day that has photos, then a neighborhood photographed that day, then review its photos by category.
A field day
Reporting no longer has to happen before the inspector drives away. Photos are saved one at a time in the field, and the review comes together later by day and neighborhood.
Draw the outer boundary and the smaller areas, then choose its tags.
Set one upOpen the app straight to the camera. No session, no report setup.
Field previewA clear GPS match files itself. An unclear one asks for the area.

Open a reviewLocation filing · FR09 · LC1–LC5
Automatic filing is the default, but GPS is not always precise enough for a pool deck or a mail kiosk. The app says so and lets the inspector choose. It never files to the nearest area by guesswork, and it keeps the original reading next to the choice.
Safeguards
Leaving a photo out of a review only changes that review. The original, its note, time and location stay in the neighborhood's History.
The day comes from when the photo was taken, in the neighborhood's reporting time zone. A late upload never moves a photo to another day.
A manual filing is marked manual. The GPS coordinates and accuracy are kept as captured, never rewritten to fit the choice.
Each photo shows whether it is on the device, uploading or synced. Tapping Save twice never makes a second copy.
Report output · FR08, later phase
A completed sheet for Willow Creek Estates on 3 November 2026, built from the same demo photos you can review in Inspection Generator.
A concept for discussion. The handoff keeps report output out of the demo until the owner's template and Brock's example report arrive. This sheet is there to get feedback on content and layout, not to fix the format.
Scope
The demo shows the interactions. It does not prove live camera, GPS accuracy, storage, sign-in or PDF generation, and it says so on every screen.
Delivery roadmap
Estimates come after the platform, offline scope, location rules and report template are reviewed.
Review the three tabs, Map and History, manual fallback and day-first review. Confirm tags against Brock's examples.
Capture, Neighborhoods and Inspection Generator with simulated photos and locations.
Test camera, location, boundaries, storage, uploads and permission failures on real devices.
Signed-in photo storage, routing, review and report generation once the template is in.
Field capture and office reporting with selected operators. Watch corrections and recovery.
Fix pilot issues, set up support, then decide on pins, comparisons, portals or alerts.
Open decisions
None of these block the demo. They shape the production build.
| ID | Decision | Question | Needed for |
|---|---|---|---|
| D01 | Report template | What content, branding, photo density, observation and action placement, and pagination does Brock's example report set? | Final PDF output |
| D02 | Devices | Which phones, tablets and browsers are supported? Is a responsive website enough for production? | Device testing |
| D03 | Offline scope | Must photos save with no network? How long can they stay on the device? | Capture reliability |
| D04 | Area rules | Can subareas overlap? What happens inside a neighborhood but outside every subarea? | Location routing |
| D05 | Time and dates | Which time zone defines a neighborhood's day? How are wrong device clocks corrected? | Report selection |
| D06 | Text and tags | Which tags replace the provisional four? Are tag and description required? Where do actions go? | Review rules |
| D07 | Access and delivery | Who can see which neighborhoods, and how do PDFs reach the board? | Security and sharing |
| D08 | Retention and capacity | How long are originals, drafts and report versions kept? What photo volumes are expected? | Storage and operations |
| D09 | Pilot approval | Which operators and neighborhoods pilot it, and who signs off? | Release decision |
