Inertia Software Reviews

Pros

ICDs are seriously the future. These things are crazy powerful! They take your 2D drawings and give you way more control and reporting than you'd ever expect. Now, you can work with object based management. Just click on an object, generate an RFI and bam, it's done. And if you have multiple objects in your plans, you can easily add the rest of them, no matter what page they're on.

Cons

Features are coming out fast. Honestly, it's the only downside and everything's rolling out so quickly and it can be tough to keep up with adjusting our processes to fit all these new features.

Pros

We mainly use this for inspection tracking and scheduling and it works great for us. The metrics are easy to generate especially for executives. We also use the daily report and document repository modules. I can't speak much to the other features but this has been really user-friendly. The duplicate feature for inspection requests makes it easy for subcontractors to input the inspections they need.

Cons

It can be slow to load, depending on your internet service. Since it's webbased and doesn't download locally, it might take a little longer to add stuff. It's not exactly an Inertia issue but just something to keep in mind as a user. Also the volume of available inspections could be trimmed down since every new unique type requested by different projects gets pushed to everyone.

Pros

I mostly use this for inspections and tracking. Once you get the hang of how everything works and what fits your needs, it's pretty easy to use. I've tried both the old and new versions for different projects. There are a couple of things I'd like to see changed but overall, I like the software.

Cons

One thing I think could be improved is how deleted files show up in the final report when attaching files in the inspections tab. It'd be better if those deleted files weren't included in the final inspection report. Also I feel like the maps for inspections should be the overall floor maps instead of the separate area maps.

Pros

Inertia makes everything so much easier when it comes to coordination between the owner, inspectors, contractors and subcontractors. My favorite tool is the maps and they're so helpful. It's easy to track the progress of different trades and finding completed inspections and inspection numbers is simple.

Cons

My advice would be to set up all types of inspections right at the start of the project and get input from the subcontractors to make sure everything's correct. This will help avoid any issues and inconsistencies when it comes time for substantial and final project completion.

Pros

The development of ICDs by Inertia has been a game changer for how we organize our documentation and access info on the job site. It's amazing that I can click on an object or location in the drawing and instantly see the current status of inspections, RFIs, submittals and checklists. It saves so much time that we would've spent hunting down information during construction. Plus, being able to generate weekly status reports with color-coded maps for each trade is a game changer. It helps keep everything tracked and accountable which is helpful during trade meetings.

Cons

So far, everything that used to bug me has been fixed and improved a ton by Inertia. The glitches from the early version are long gone and I really can't think of any major downsides to the platform now.

Pros

It integrates really well with Special Inspections, OSHPD and the TIO.

Cons

The software did have some bugs now and then but they were quick to handle any updates.

Pros

This tool has been very useful for tracking inspections and noting deficiencies in large-scale, complex and ever-changing build environments. I highly recommend it.

Cons

The mobile features were available at first but I found using the desktop version way easier.
