From inspection to work description in minutes – here's how
Written by Wenn Property
You know the scenario. You’ve been on an inspection, taken photos, written some notes, maybe recorded audio on your phone. Back at the office, all of this needs to become a structured work description: what needs to be done, in which room, and by whom.
This is where half the time disappears. Not on the inspection itself – but on turning the inspection into something usable.
What is the work description in Wenn Property?
The work description in Wenn Property is a matrix showing work per room and per trade. Think of it as a grid where the rows are rooms (living room, kitchen, bathroom, hallway) and the columns are trades (painting, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, tiling).
In each cell you describe what needs to be done. “Paint walls and ceiling”, “Move electrical socket”, “Install new flooring”. You check what’s relevant and add details where needed.
The result is a complete overview of the entire project, organised so a painter sees all the painting work, a plumber sees all the plumbing work, and the client sees the full picture.
How it works in practice
Step 1: Scan the rooms. During the inspection, scan each room with the Wenn Property app. Take photos of details, add notes, and record audio where it’s easier to speak than to type.
Step 2: Open the work description. In the web app, you get a blank matrix with all the rooms you scanned. The trades are pre-set with the most common categories.
Step 3: Fill it in – manually or with AI. You can fill it in manually, or let the AI suggest content based on your inspection notes, photos, and audio recording. The AI organises the information per room and trade – you review and adjust.
Step 4: Export. Download the work description as a PDF, send it to subcontractors, or use it as the basis for your quote.
AI filling: what does it actually do?
Wenn Property has an AI feature (beta) that reads your inspection notes, transcribes any audio recordings, and suggests a work description per room.
If during the inspection you said “the bathroom needs a new drain, the tiles are cracked along the wall, and the ventilation isn’t working properly”, the AI will suggest plumbing work (new drain), tiling work (replace wall tiles), and ventilation (repair) – sorted into the right fields in the matrix.
It’s a suggestion, not a finished product. You review, adjust, and approve. But it saves you the worst part: starting with a blank page.
Why this changes the workflow
Without a work description, you typically send a subcontractor an email saying “see attached photos, take a look and give me a price”. The subcontractor calls back with questions. You call the client. The client calls you. Back and forth.
With a structured work description, the subcontractor sees exactly what needs to be done, in which room, with what quantities. Fewer questions, faster quotes, and a better basis for the quote you give your client in turn.
For larger renovation projects – where multiple trades work simultaneously – the difference is even more pronounced. Everyone knows what applies, room by room.
