Dates kept in a vendor’s system
Each service vendor tracks its own inspections, and the owner only hears about them when a report or an invoice arrives. When you switch vendors, the schedule leaves with the old one.
For building owners
Building compliance tracking software for recurring inspections
For building owners and facility teams, compliance tracking means keeping every recurring inspection on schedule and its report on file, long after construction is over. Every building runs on recurring inspections: the elevator, the fire alarm, the sprinklers, the backflow preventers. Fidrel tracks each one with an owner, an inspector and a frequency, logs every result with its report, and calculates when the next one is due, so you see what is coming due before the date your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) expects.

Why compliance inspections get missed
Reports that cannot be found
The last fire alarm report is in an email from last spring. When the fire marshal or an insurer asks for the history, someone spends a day digging through inboxes.
Recurring inspections with an owner and a frequency
Each inspection takes an owner from the project team, the inspector who performs it, a frequency in months and the last completed date. Add it with the next date blank and Fidrel calculates it from the last one and the frequency, or set the date by hand when your AHJ says otherwise. An inspection can belong to a trade, and template inspections link to their report folder.
Operations
A starting list of common US inspections
The template’s starting list covers fire alarm, sprinkler, extinguisher, emergency lighting, generator, elevator, backflow, boiler and facade checks and a reserve study update. The frequencies are starting points: the frequency your AHJ sets for the building is the one that applies, and you can change it for each inspection.
How inspections are tracked in Fidrel
Step 1
Add the inspections
Start from the list of common US inspections or add your own, each with an owner, an inspector, a frequency in months and the date it was last done.
Step 2
Log each result
Log the completion date, the result, who performed it, the report and any photos, and each deficiency on a line of its own. The history is kept, and the next due date moves forward from the date just logged.
Step 3
Act before it is due
The owner of an inspection gets a notification in Fidrel when it comes due within 30 days and once more if the date passes without a logged inspection, and overdue inspections are flagged on the list.
Results and history in one place
Logging an inspection records the date, the result as Passed, Passed with comments or Failed, who performed it, up to ten documents from the project such as the report and photos, notes and the deficiencies found. Every logged inspection stays in its history, so records from past years are one click away when an insurer or inspector asks for them, and the Inspection log downloads as Excel or PDF.
Deficiencies followed until they are corrected
Each deficiency is a line of its own under the logged inspection and stays open until it is corrected. Create a work order turns it into a work order for the same asset and trade, marked From the inspection with its name, and the deficiency is corrected by itself when that work order is completed or closed. One that needs no work is closed with Mark as corrected. The list filters to inspections With deficiencies and counts the open ones, so the fire marshal’s findings from last year cannot quietly stay open.
What compliance tracking in Fidrel does not do
Fidrel does not decide what the code requires for your building; the frequencies are suggestions until you set them. Fidrel does not track building permits or the inspections a city carries out during construction, and it does not produce energy benchmarking or ESG reports. Notifications appear in Fidrel only, with no email or SMS. A failed result opens no work order by itself: you choose which deficiencies become one.

Fire alarms, sprinklers, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, generators, elevators, backflow preventers, boilers, facades and a reserve study update. You can change each frequency and add your own inspections.
From the last completed date and the frequency in months. Logging an inspection moves the next due date forward, even one you set by hand.
The owner of the inspection gets a notification in Fidrel when it comes due within 30 days, and again if the date passes without a logged inspection. Overdue inspections are flagged on the list.
Yes. Each logged inspection links up to ten files from the project’s documents, such as the report and photos, and the full history of results is kept for every inspection. The Inspection log downloads as Excel or PDF for an insurer or the fire marshal.
No. The starting list gives common inspections and typical frequencies, and the frequency your authority having jurisdiction sets for the building is the one to enter.
