DraftSeal Book a demo
Now onboarding NYC facade firms for Cycle 10

Write fewer reports.
Sign more of them.

DraftSeal turns your crew's photos and site notes into a ready-to-review FISP report, so your engineers spend their hours on judgement, not typing. You review it, classify it and seal it.

How it works

From the scaffold to a sealed report in three steps.

STEP 1

Capture on site

Start from the prior-cycle report. Then capture on site however you reach the wall: scaffold drop, rope access or lift. Photos and spoken notes land on the building, and any elevation not fully covered is flagged before the crew packs up.

STEP 2

Get a draft in your style

A full report written the way your firm writes, with last cycle's conditions carried forward and every claim linked to its photo.

STEP 3

Review, classify, seal

Your engineer makes every safety call and applies their own seal. DraftSeal never suggests severity and never seals.

Why firms switch

Your growth is capped by signing hours, not demand.

Every NYC building over six stories needs this report on a fixed schedule. The firms that win are the ones whose engineers aren't stuck writing.

Take on more buildings

The same team carries a bigger book through the same deadline. No new hires.

Skip the second drop

Coverage gaps get caught on the scaffold, not a week later at a full crew day's cost.

Never miss a repair date

Every SWARMP deadline across your clients on one calendar, months ahead. Missed dates become booked work.

Keep the building next cycle

Repair design, construction observation and closeout usually follow the report. A full history on every address keeps you on it next cycle.

Close the whole cycle

Amended and subsequent reports, extension requests and repair closeout tracked on the same building record, not in someone's inbox.

Promise faster turnaround

Boards and managing agents pick the firm that responds fast and never lets a date slip. Win on that, and keep the promise.

The clocks your clients are on

Every building in your book runs on deadlines. Each one is a call you make early or answer late.

DraftSeal keeps these dates in view across every building you inspect, so your firm is the one that sees them coming.

Built for licensed engineers

We do the writing. You keep the judgement.

NYC's Department of Buildings allows tools like DraftSeal to assist engineers, as long as hands-on inspection and judgement stay with them (DOB Bulletin 2021-012). That's exactly how we're built.

Never suggests severity. Safe, SWARMP or Unsafe is always your engineer's call.
Keeps your findings independent. Boards are advised to keep the inspector separate from the repair contractor. Nothing in DraftSeal nudges a finding toward more work.
Never seals or files. Only the named engineer can seal. You submit to DOB yourself.
Never locks you in. Export to Word, PDF, Bluebeam or Excel anytime.

Questions firms ask us

No. Every classification field arrives blank and stays blank until your engineer sets it. The report records that the system left it blank.

Bring one past report. In 30 minutes we'll show you the draft, the hours saved and where your book's deadlines land.
