About Inspector
Inspector is an Israeli software company started by a civil engineer who spent years on infrastructure sites watching the same argument repeat: the designer’s quantities, the contractor’s quantities and the client’s quantities never matched, and nobody could point to the line on the drawing that settled it. We build the system that closes that gap, from the design files through to the final account, and we run quantity control as a service on top of it.
What we do
Our starting point is that the drawings already hold the answer. A road, a sewer line or a water main is fully described in the design files long before anyone measures anything on site. Inspector reads those files, applies one standard legend across all of them so every team is working to the same language, and derives the quantities straight from the geometry.
What we have built on that idea:
- The platform. Design files become a live map; quantities are computed from the geometry and tied to the contract bill of quantities; every payment application is checked against the design.
- IHL Legend. Our layer-standard method, the subject of patent applications in Israel and the United States. It is what lets drawings from different offices be read, compared and priced the same way.
- Collector. The field app: the current drawings on a map with your position on them, tasks pinned to a place, photographs and voice notes as evidence, and reports issued before you leave the site.
- A CAD quality engine. Checks incoming drawings against a client’s drafting standard, so the files are fit to compute from before anyone starts measuring.
What we are after
Infrastructure projects lose money in the gap between what was designed, what was built and what was paid for. On the projects we check, the difference between the designers’ bill of quantities and the design files is routinely large enough to matter, and today it is found by people re-measuring drawings by hand, if it is found at all.
What we are working towards is simple to state: every quantity on a project should be traceable back to the line in the drawing it came from, automatically, at any point in the project’s life. That is what makes a payment application checkable, a lump-sum conversion defensible, and a final account something both sides can agree on.
We work with both sides of the contract, owners and contractors, and with the designers and supervisors between them, because the record only holds if everyone can open it.

Frequently asked questions
How do we get in touch?
Email office@inspectorprojects.com, or use the form at the bottom of any page on this site. We answer from Israel, UTC+2 or UTC+3 depending on the season.
Do you work in English?
Yes. The interface, the reports and our support are available in English, and the platform works to whatever price list and bill of quantities structure the contract uses.
Is Inspector software, a service, or both?
Both, and you can take either. The platform is a SaaS subscription your own team runs. Alongside it our engineers deliver quantity takeoff and quantity control as a service, on projects where the client would rather hand over the whole job.
How does an engagement usually start?
Usually with one real project. You send a set of drawings and a bill of quantities, we run them through the system, and you see the gaps on your own material rather than on a demo. From there it is either a subscription or a scoped piece of control work.
