Carbon for smaller firms · Building and fire safety

Reduce report preparation and keep remedial actions moving.

Carbon helps building and fire safety firms of 80 to 300 people put AI into the work around every visit. We build each workflow with you and run it for you, and your inspectors stay accountable for every report and certificate.

We're developing the first workflow modules with a small group of building and fire safety firms.

01Where the time goes

The work around every visit

Where the time goes.

Inspectors write up every visit from notes, checklists and photos. Certificates are produced by hand. Remedial actions across dozens of sites are tracked in spreadsheets and inboxes, and quotes for remedial work wait until someone has time to write them.

02How the work changes

A qualified person signs off, every time

The same work, running differently.

We start with the workflow that takes the most time, and add the next once the first is running.

  • 01

    Inspection to report.

    Notes, checklists and photos become a draft report or certificate in your format. Your inspector reviews and signs. Measured by time per report and visits per inspector.

  • 02

    Remedial actions.

    Findings become tracked actions with owners and deadlines. Overdue items are flagged and clients updated. Your team decides what to escalate. Measured by overdue actions and time to close.

  • 03

    Remedial quotes.

    Findings become a draft quote for the remedial work. Your team reviews and sends it. Measured by quote turnaround and win rate.

03Good to know

  • Records and review

    The system records each step and who reviewed it, and your qualified inspector signs every report and certificate.

  • Part of a group, or building one?

    If you're building a group, the workflow design is reused across your firms. Systems, templates, permissions and local processes are assessed for each one, and one licence agreement can cover every firm in the group. And if your firm is joining a group, what we build moves with you.

04Questions safety firms ask

  • Does AI sign off inspections?

    No. It drafts and tracks. Every report and certificate is signed by your qualified inspector.

  • Can it work from photos taken on site?

    Yes. Photos and notes from the visit feed the draft report, and your qualified inspector makes the assessment.

  • How long until it's live?

    As a founding client, where we're building the workflow for the first time, expect 8 to 12 weeks. Once a workflow is established for building safety, it can go live in about a month after the workshops.
