MB&A expands ExAM4Inspections to help public housing authorities meet HUD’s NSPIRE standards with secure, scalable, and adaptable inspection tools.

MB&A announces today that the ExAM4Inspections platform is now also transforming how public housing authorities(PHAs), in addition to federal agencies, conduct property and housing inspections under HUD’s NSPIRE standards. MB&A has again established ExAM4Inspections as the leading enterprise-grade solution for organizations that need robust compliance and security features along with scalability because it serves as the co-originator of HUD’s NSPIRE digital inspection framework. MB&A has supported HUD for over a decade and now provides affordable, easy-to-use software packages to Public Housing Authorities and Public Housing Inspection companies that want to use a familiar platform.

ExAM4Inspections solves essential gaps in the affordable housing inspection sector by addressing federal compliance standards and PHA operational needs that other solutions fail to meet. ExAM4Inspections uses Salesforce as a foundational platform layer to provide customizable workflows that handle work scheduling and portfolio management alongside inspections and compliance reporting, which can adapt to organizational growth.

“NSPIRE, HQS, and other housing inspections require Housing authorities to maintain strict compliance standards while retaining operational efficiency and data protection measures,” according to Alex Morrison at MB&A. “The platform ExAM4Inspections provides federal-level security features alongside operational adaptability that housing authorities require to serve their communities effectively and efficiently, which is especially important in today’s fiscal environment. Our conversations with PHAs over the past year helped us put a package together that addresses the core needs but also layers in a ton of other features that are critically important to these local organizations.”

Proven Simple Results in Complex Environments

Aligning with the new NSPIRE-V inspections framework, MB&A’s solution helps by modernizing inspection processes, improving transparency, reducing tenant complaints, and improving inspection scheduling. ExAM4Inspections stands apart from other solutions through three key differentiating capabilities:

• Security: Built on the Salesforce platform, MB&A’s solution inherits and fulfills security standards that protect sensitive inspection data and make it ready for audits.
• Ease of Use: The ExAM4Inspections platform comes pre-configured with inspection protocols such as NSPIRE-V and HQS and provides offline mobile capabilities, ensuring the platform not only meets PHA compliance needs but also is configured to meet the way they work.
• Expanded Use Cases: Easily extend use cases beyond NSPIRE-V to other housing inspection and compliance protocols.

MB&A’s established delivery method enables organizations to achieve measurable results in weeks instead of months and provides continuous helpdesk assistance alongside platform optimization services.

ExAM4Inspections stands apart from standard inspection software because it allows complex property management across multiple compliance systems, according to MB&A’s HUD Project Manager. Through ExAM4Inspections, inspectors can do more with less and focus on the inspection management process while simultaneously building resident engagement and maintaining federal oversight accountability.
