Overview

Company Background

Horizon is developed by Carson Dunlop, a building science consulting firm established in 1978. The platform stands out for its extensive library of over 6,000 customizable report items and rich illustrations. While the building science pedigree lends credibility, the platform's feature set for business operations and modern workflows lags behind purpose-built inspection software platforms.

Target Market

Inspectors who prioritize visual report quality with rich illustrations and want a platform backed by a long-standing building science company.

Technology Approach

Cloud-based platform with mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows. Centralized data storage with multi-platform access.
