DocuCheck Africa

One expired permit can shut down an entire construction site. Not because anyone was careless, but because compliance still lives on spreadsheets, and a certificate that lapsed in March doesn’t announce itself until an inspector turns up in June.

DocuCheck reads the document instead. Upload a permit, a scan, or a photo taken in bad light on site, and it comes back with pass, warning or fail in plain English, in under thirty seconds.

The hard part

The hard part was never the AI. It was the rulebooks. COREN and NESREA in Nigeria, EPA and LUSPA in Ghana, NHBRC and SANS 10400 in South Africa. No existing tool encodes any of that, which is exactly why those documents still get checked by hand, or not at all.

What it does

Every result is one of three states, so a site manager can act without reading a report: pass, warning or fail. Each one says in plain words what was checked and why it landed there.
