DIY first, professional report when it matters
Check it yourself first. If it looks unclear, SafeOps Group can verify it independently.
These free resources are designed for owners, builders, site contacts and small businesses. They help you organise stage information, visible observations and relevant site risks.
If something is incomplete, unsafe, defective, payment-sensitive or hard to interpret, do not guess.
Upload photos or documents and request a quote, booking review or professional report pathway.

Evidence photo guide
- Start with a wide photo showing the room, elevation, area or site context.
- Add a mid-range photo showing the issue location and nearby reference points.
- Take a close-up photo with scale where safe and practical.
- Name photos by location or issue so they can be matched to the report later.
- Do not enter unsafe, restricted, concealed or inaccessible areas to take photos.
Not sure what the photos show? Upload them with a quote or booking review request.
Found something unclear?
DIY first. Independent report when it matters.
