What BuildingReports does
BuildingReports (BuildingReports.com, Inc.) is a privately held, Georgia-incorporated SaaS company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Suwanee, Georgia. The company provides a mobile and cloud-based inspection reporting platform for fire, life safety, security, and HVAC systems, anchored by its ScanSeries suite of device-specific applications (FireScan, SafetyScan, SprinklerScan, SuppressionScan, SecurityScan, HVACScan) available on iOS and Android. The platform uses proprietary barcode scanning workflows to capture device-level inspection data on handheld scanners and Janam rugged devices, then uploads results to a cloud server that generates compliant reports and supports AHJ submission through ComplianceCenter.
The company's product architecture is a modular platform-plus-modules design. ScanSeries is paired with BRForms (digital forms replacement with 40+ form elements), ManagerSeries (service-dispatch and scheduling), LiveArchive (QR-code-based inspection history access), and a Member Dashboard with analytics. Revenue is generated primarily through annual subscription licensing of ScanSeries by application, bundle, or full suite, plus web-based reporting subscriptions, usage-based live support fees, and a National Account managed-services program for multi-site facility operators. Distribution is hybrid: direct enterprise sales with demo-led motion, app store self-service, and international licensing partners (BuildingReports Canada, BuildingReports Latin America S.R.L. in Costa Rica, and Digitrack Pte. Ltd. in the Philippines). The customer base spans three primary segments: ITM service companies, facility management professionals, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), with the AHJ side served free via ComplianceCenter to anchor network effects.
BuildingReports claims the world's largest network of independent fire and life safety service providers, with over 1,300 inspection companies, 1,400+ service and facility management companies, 13+ million inspections completed, 1.5+ million buildings represented, and 650+ million devices under management across 20+ billion square feet of commercial and industrial space. The company maintains strategic integrations with BRYCER/TCE, LIV, IROL (compliance platforms), Salesforce, HubSpot, ServiceTrade (CRM/field service), and hardware manufacturers (NAPCO, Potter Electric, Janam). Leadership is founder-controlled, with co-founder Jason Kronz serving as President/CTO and co-founder Brett Brewster as CEO; no external institutional investors or funding rounds have been disclosed.
