Generate DSA 155 semi-monthly reports, manage DSA 152 inspection cards, and complete DSA 6 verified reports with project information already in place.
DSA Box Support
Keep completed forms, inspection logs, supporting PDFs, photographs, and project records organized from active construction through final verified reporting, closeout review, and DSA Box submission.
Interpretations of Regulations
Search DSA IRs by number or subject, filter by discipline, code cycle, and status, bookmark frequently used references, and open the official state publication directly from the app.

What inspectors need to know.
I am a city or county building inspector. Will Inspector Desk work for me?
Yes. Inspector Desk can be configured for non-DSA inspection workflows, including permit-based projects, inspection requests, field reports, photos, correction tracking, RFI and change documentation, project directories, and agency-specific forms. Each workspace is tailored to the project and jurisdiction, so DSA-specific tools can be replaced with the records, forms, and reporting your agency requires.
Does Inspector Desk replace DSA Box?
No. Inspector Desk organizes field records and completed documentation so teams can review, download, and prepare material for submission through DSA Box.
Can inspectors use it on mobile devices?
Yes. The web app supports field workflows on phones and tablets, including inspection records, daily reporting, photographs, tags, and signatures.
How does AI assist without replacing inspector judgment?
AI helps extract information, organize records, and draft summaries, narratives, tags, and form content. The inspector reviews, edits, approves, and signs every final record.
Which official DSA forms does Inspector Desk support?
Inspector Desk supports DSA 6-PI verified reports, DSA 151 notifications, DSA 152 inspection cards, DSA 154 notices of deviation, DSA 155 semi-monthly reports, DSA 156 commencement and completion notifications, and DSA 211 continuation pages. Project information is carried into supported forms while the official form format is preserved.
Can one inspector manage multiple DSA and agency projects?
Yes. One inspector can manage multiple projects from a single account. Each project retains its own DSA application or agency information, cards, permits, buildings, project structure, directory, reports, forms, attachments, and access settings.
Can access be limited by project, user, and feature?
Yes. The inspector or account administrator controls access by project and feature. Architects, construction managers, districts, and other stakeholders may be given read-only access without permission to alter inspection records.
Who owns and controls the project records?
Inspection records remain under the inspector's administrative control. The inspector determines who may view each project, who may contribute, and who may manage or publish official records.
