Trusted by the Experts – Frame Homes UK uses the NestForms surveying app to modernise field inspections.
Established in 1974, Frame Homes is one of the UK’s most respected timber frame companies. Based in the Southwest, they design, manufacture and assemble high-performance timber frame solutions for clients across sectors such as housing, education, healthcare, and hospitality.
With decades of experience and a 4.5-acre purpose-built manufacturing facility, Frame Homes combines traditional expertise with modern methods of construction. But even with all their technical progress, one piece of the puzzle still needed refining: replacing their handwritten inspection and sign-off forms.
Replacing Paper with Practical Mobile Forms
Jake Bryant, Projects Co-Ordinator at Frame Homes, explains:
“We have been looking for a suitable replacement for our handwritten forms and after reviewing a number of solutions, NestForms meets our requirements perfectly.”
NestForms offered Frame Homes exactly what they needed:
- Easy-to-use mobile inspection forms
- Offline access for remote job sites
- Digital signatures, photos, GPS, and dropdowns
- Full control over customisation
From site safety checks to handover forms, the team at Frame Homes now completes reports directly from their mobile devices. No printing. No scanning. No chasing paperwork.
A Flexible App for Real Construction Workflows
“It has allowed us to complete our field-based reports on the move, whilst also including helpful additions such as signatures and photos.”
Their forms now include:
- Images of completed installations or defects
- Signatures for client sign-offs
- GPS tagging for location accuracy
- Notes, dropdowns, and skip logic for streamlined data entry
NestForms' intuitive form builder app made it easy for the Frame Homes team to build and refine their own checklists — even without technical training.
Responsive Support with Ongoing Development
NestForms doesn’t just hand over the product and walk away. Jake and his team have found the NestForms support team responsive and proactive:
“The technical support team from NestForms are extremely helpful and have solved any bugs that we have found and are also undertaking development on our behalf to improve our reporting further.”
Whether it’s a question, bug report or new feature request, the collaboration has helped Frame Homes get even more value from the platform.
Ready for Future Projects
With the NestForms mobile form app in place, Frame Homes is prepared to scale operations more efficiently:
- Safer, more reliable site inspections
- Professional, digital handover documents or installation forms.
- Cleaner reporting and fewer admin delays
And as their team grows or diversifies, they can replicate their successful processes using NestForms templates and workflows.
