Affordable housing inspections under HUD’s NSPIRE standards need powerful inspection tools that provide both safety and compliance features. The correct solution selection will significantly influence operational performance alongside compliance maintenance and long-term organizational viability.

Understanding the Landscape

The public housing authority (PHA) and affordable housing market now contain multiple inspection solution platforms that aim to simplify the inspection process through digital methods. Multiple inspection solutions exist that provide basic inspection tools for smaller operators. Basic inspection tools and customizable templates, along with photo documentation and fundamental reporting capabilities, are standard features of these platforms. Their strengths lie in over-simplification and budget-friendly pricing models—perfectly suited to less complex and stationary environments.

Organizations often encounter platform restrictions when they expand their operations or maintain current, large-scale operations, particularly when working with federal agencies such as HUD. Their systems often encounter problems managing multiple stakeholders during workflow operations, as well as managing advanced compliance rules and large-scale data protection needs. That is just one of the reasons why PHA’s are migrating to ExAM4Inspections. 

Why ExAM4Inspections by MB&A Stands Out

ExAM4Inspections through MB&A stands as a unique inspection solution since it provides a complete Salesforce-based platform designed for federal-grade and compliance-heavy environments. MB&A established itself as the first digital inspection solution provider for HUD’s NSPIRE standards while setting industry benchmarks for inspection digitization and audit preparedness and compliance assurance.

Core advantages for NSPIRE Inspections

Proven NSPIRE Leadership: MB&A developed HUD’s NSPIRE digital inspection framework, focusing on ease of use while maintaining continuous adaptation to changing compliance requirements. In addition to the compliance advantages, users reduce inspection time by 40% on average when migrating away from paper when leveraging ExAM4Inspections . 

The system supports various workflow types and features role-based authorization mechanisms and offline mobile inspection tools including punch list and checklist functions together with advanced analytics and reporting capabilities which allow users to generate PDF documents.

The Salesforce platform adheres to rigorous federal compliance standards to ensure secure inspection data protection while delivering maximum data trust and integrity. 

The Salesforce-native ExAM platform provides a low/no-code interface for configurable workflows that enables PHAs and federal agencies, together with inspectors, to adapt their processes swiftly without needing extensive IT support. This platform includes features for managing vendors and building portals to support citizen/tenant engagement.

The implementation strategy of MB&A uses proven sprints to deliver measurable results during a period of weeks rather than years. MB&A maintains ongoing success by providing dedicated helpdesk support alongside sprint-based delivery.

By going with a solution backed by the Salesforce platform users can even leverage emerging technologies like AI to enable ExAM to deliver advanced analytics and automated insights as well as predictive capabilities that basic solutions do not offer.
