Step 2

compound, structure, RF equipment, and power
Step 3

Step 4

owner, due date, notification, and closeout
Field records that lead to action
Connect every condition to a location, priority, photo, and next step.
Required sections cover access, tower components, antennas, grounding, power, and closeout.
A defect can reveal fields for severity, location, notes, photos, temporary action, and owner.
Tags and notifications separate clear sites, routine repairs, and findings needing urgent review.
Adapt it to the visit
Show only the sections that belong to the selected site and visit type.
Cover access, compound, structure, anchors, cables, grounding, cabinets, power, and housekeeping.
Add roof access, mounts, penetrations, radios, jumpers, cable supports, and weatherproofing.
Prioritize safe approach, flooding, deformation, loose equipment, water entry, power, and alarms.
Link the original finding to evidence, remaining defects, acceptance, and the next owner.
Build the field workflow
Describe your assets, rating choices, and escalation path, then refine the generated checklist.
Name the site type, scope, components, rating scale, evidence, and finding recipients.
Branch by site type and reveal detail fields only when a defect is selected.
Confirm field labels, required photos, and not applicable versus not inspected choices.
Route submissions by severity and retain finding references for repair closeout.
Checklist format comparison
Compare site conditions and capture evidence for follow-up.
Field guide
Adapt these six sections to your site procedure.
Visit record
Match each submission to an asset and expose inspection limitations.
Compound & access
Rate security, access, drainage, and housekeeping separately.
Structure
Separate observed conditions from out-of-scope items.
Antennas & lines
Tie findings to a named component and evidence.
Grounding & power
Separate operating status from visible equipment condition.
Finding & action
Give every defect evidence, priority, notification, and ownership.

Answers for field inspectors and site managers building a digital inspection record.
It is a structured record of a tower site visit. It identifies the site and inspector, guides the assigned checks, records limitations, and captures photos, defect severity, notifications, and actions. Set the technical scope from your procedure and qualified team.
Capture site, tower type, technician, date, weather, and scope. Group checks for access, structure, antennas, lines, grounding, cabinets, power, and alarms. For defects, require component, location, severity, photos, action, owner, and target date.
Yes. Ask whether the site is monopole, self-support, guyed, rooftop, or another type, then show relevant sections conditionally. Keep shared identification and finding fields consistent for reporting.
Separate not applicable from not inspected. The first means the item does not belong to the site; the second means it exists but was outside scope or inaccessible. Require a reason for anything not inspected.
Yes. Add uploads beside checklist sections and inside defect paths. Ask for an overview, close-up, and location label, then test the form on field phones.
Define severity choices, then reveal notification fields at the highest levels. Capture who was contacted, when, any temporary action, impact, and next owner. Use tags and notifications to separate urgent and routine work.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect inspection submissions without a response cap. A paid tier is available to remove the Makeform badge.
Give each finding a site and visit reference, then carry it into the maintenance request or work order. On return, record completion status, evidence, remaining concerns, and the next owner.
Give every tower visit a consistent record.
