Why Inspectors Switch from ExAM4Inspections

HUD and Section 8 inspectors deserve software that works for them — not software that requires an enterprise CRM platform underneath

No Salesforce License Required

ExAM4Inspections is a native Salesforce application, so ask what Salesforce licensing it requires alongside the ExAM license. InspectForge is a standalone platform with published prices from $39.99/month.

Native Mobile Apps

InspectForge's native iOS and Android apps let you inspect on the devices your team already has, with offline mode.

Optional AI Suggestions

InspectForge offers suggestions from photos, plus report summaries and custom templates, which your inspectors accept, edit, or ignore. ExAM4Inspections' site doesn't list AI features.

White-Label for Government Agencies

PHAs and government agencies can deploy InspectForge under their own brand with custom domains, logos, and workflows on our cloud. Purpose-built for agency-scale deployment.

Correct Inspections in the Field

InspectForge lets you edit and correct inspections as you work, because mistakes happen in the field.

Start Without a Sales Process

InspectForge has HQS, NSPIRE, and UPCS-V templates built in, a published price, and a free trial you can start yourself.

Enterprise & Government

White-Label Deployment for Government Agencies

Deploy InspectForge as your agency's own inspection platform — fully branded, fully controlled, without Salesforce dependencies

Your Brand, Your Domain

Deploy under your agency's name with a custom domain (e.g., inspections.youragency.gov). Inspectors and tenants see your branding, not ours.

Scale to Any Team Size

From a single PHA office to statewide agencies with hundreds of inspectors. Role-based access, territory assignment, and centralized reporting — without per-user Salesforce licensing.

HUD-Ready Templates

HQS, NSPIRE, and UPCS-V templates are built in and maintained as standards evolve. Customize forms to match your agency's specific workflows and local requirements.

AI That Accelerates Inspections

MI6 AI assistant analyzes photos, flags deficiencies, and generates report summaries — helping inspectors complete more units per day with higher consistency.

No Salesforce Dependency

No Salesforce licensing or administration to arrange. InspectForge is a purpose-built inspection platform — not a CRM add-on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from inspectors switching from ExAM4Inspections

Does InspectForge support HUD HQS inspections for Section 8?

Yes. InspectForge includes a comprehensive HQS (Housing Quality Standards) template covering all 13 HQS performance requirements per 24 CFR 982.401. The template covers sanitary facilities, food preparation, space & security, thermal environment, illumination & electricity, structure & materials, air quality, water supply, lead-based paint, access, site & neighborhood, sanitary conditions, and special requirements.

Does InspectForge support NSPIRE inspections?

Yes. Our NSPIRE template follows the new National Standards for Physical Inspection of Real Estate (effective October 2023) with all three inspectable areas: Inside Unit, Outside, and Common Areas. It includes severity-based scoring (Levels 1–3) and health & safety deficiency tracking.

Can our PHA or government agency deploy InspectForge under our own brand?

Absolutely. InspectForge offers full white-label deployment for government agencies and Public Housing Authorities. This includes your agency's branding, custom domain (e.g., inspections.youragency.gov), and custom workflows, hosted on our cloud.
