The industry standard photographic audit trail for external wall insulation. Structured to meet NSAI Agrément D-IAB-005, SEAI DTSS grant inspections, and 10-year manufacturer warranty sign-offs.
Each stage must be photographed with verifiable date, time, and GPS coordinates prior to proceeding to subsequent trades.
Required to verify substrate soundness, moisture levels, and pull-out resistance prior to insulation bonding.
Guarantees a level thermal start above DPC and prevents cold bridging and vermin ingress.
Ensures minimum 40% (or 100% notched) adhesive contact to prevent thermal looping and wind uplift.
Eliminates continuous vertical joints that cause thermal bridges and reflective render cracking.
Proves compliance with wind load calculations and structural Agrément fixing patterns.
Over 80% of EWI water ingress failures occur at cills and reveals; strict detailing is mandatory.
Mandatory for Part B / NSAI fire compliance to stop horizontal and vertical flame spread.
Mesh must sit in the outer third of the basecoat to provide structural tensile and impact strength.
Ensures proper chemical bond and prevents topcoat blistering or colour shading from high humidity or frost.
The final barrier against weather; required for warranty certificate activation and client sign-off.
CertFile automatically prompts your on-site operatives for these 10 photos at each project stage, stamping GPS coordinates and generating complete handover packs directly into PDF.
