Hazardous materials surveying software

Hazardous materials surveying, rebuilt for the field.

Capture, organize and maintain hazardous building material information in one platform — reducing repetitive field and office work, improving consistency across surveyors, and creating a building record your clients can keep using.

Designed for hazardous building materials including asbestos, lead, PCBs, silica and more.

  • Less repetitive work

    Spend less time collecting and rebuilding survey information.

  • More consistent surveys

    Keep documentation more consistent across surveyors and teams.

  • A more useful client record

    Leave the client with structured information they can keep using.

The problem

The same survey information shouldn't have to be rebuilt across disconnected tools.

Hazardous materials surveys are still assembled across notes, photos, spreadsheets, laboratory reports and PDFs — and the deliverable is hard to maintain once the building changes.

Field survey

Document the building as you survey it.

Rooms, materials, photographs and conditions are captured on site — the structured building record exists before you leave the building.

Material occurrence · expanded record

Every material becomes a structured record.

Not a note or a report table row — a persistent record tied to its actual location in the building.

  • Building hierarchy

    Site → building → floor → room.

  • Material occurrence

    Component, colour, location and quantity recorded where the material occurs.

  • Condition & hazard

    Hazard type, status, condition, accessibility and friability.

  • Sampling & review

    Sampling status and review state travel with the record.

Purpose-built

Built around how hazmat surveys actually get done.

Towerforma is shaped around real hazardous materials surveying workflows — including the repetitive tasks and edge cases that generic field software often misses.

  • Move faster through repetitive spaces

    Copy rooms, material occurrences and recurring information instead of entering the same data repeatedly.

  • Manual when you need it

    Use AI-assisted capture where it helps, or add and edit materials directly whenever professional judgment or a one-off condition requires it.

  • Condition issues stay visible

    Damage, debris and poor-condition reports are flagged on the inspection so outstanding items don't get lost between visits.

  • Photos that stay useful

    Photographs stay attached to the rooms and materials they document, and export with logical filenames based on building, room and date.

  • Take your data with you

    Export structured records, sample lists, building records and photographs in practical formats — CSV and more — whenever they're needed.

Designed around decades of hazardous materials surveying experience.

Towerforma handles the small things generic inspection platforms often miss — repeated rooms, recurring materials, sample groups, laboratory results, photo organization, consultant review and inspection history.

Your data isn't trapped in Towerforma.

Export structured records, sample information and photographs in practical formats whenever you need them. Built with secure, professional cloud infrastructure and application-level access controls designed to keep customer data private.

Multi-surveyor

A whole team on one building. One record.

Multiple surveyors can divide a building by floor, area or room and work independently while contributing to the same structured inspection.

  • Surveyor A

    Floor 1

  • Surveyor B

    Floor 2

  • Surveyor C

    Mechanical areas

One inspection record

Especially useful for larger buildings and multi-surveyor teams.

AI assistance

AI assistance without giving up professional judgment.

Towerforma uses field photographs and room context to draft visible material information quickly. Consultants review, edit, accept or replace that information before it becomes part of the inspection record — and manual entry is always available.

  3. Consultant review

Towerforma assists with visible material documentation. Hazard determinations remain based on professional judgment, sampling and analytical results.

Sampling

Sampling that stays connected to the material it represents.

Every sample stays connected to the material and location it came from — from collection through laboratory analysis and hazard determination. Laboratory results come back into the same structured workflow rather than being rebuilt in a separate spreadsheet.

  1. Material occurrence
  2. Sample group
  3. Individual sample
  4. Laboratory result

No more retyping lab results.

Export the sample list for the laboratory, then bring results back into Towerforma and match them to the original samples by identifier — so analytical data lands back on the material it represents.

Based on an illustrative example of approximately four hours of combined field and office time avoided. Actual savings will vary by project, workflow, team and assessment complexity. The value of one efficient assessment can be meaningful relative to the cost of professional survey software.

Building record

The report is a snapshot.
The inventory keeps living.

Towerforma turns each assessment into a structured building inventory that can be maintained over time and handed over to the owner. Consultants can export the inventory, photos and assessment data they need to support their usual reporting and submission process, while the underlying building record stays structured and current.

Consultant-to-owner handover

Survey the building. Establish the inventory. Hand over a record the owner can keep using — alongside the consultant's formal project report and supporting files.

Continuity across future work

Future renovations or reassessments update the existing building record instead of starting again from another disconnected report — historical assessments are preserved while the current inventory stays clear.
