Construction punch list software for the walk-through
The punch list is the last thing standing between you and the final payment. It's also where jobs drag: a list on a legal pad, photos in someone's camera roll, and a sub who says nobody told him about the outlet cover.
In Construction Company Software, each punch item has a photo, location, trade, due date and the sub responsible. Send each sub their open items in one text or email, track what's ready for review, and print a PDF for the owner's walk-through. It's on every plan, including the Field plan.
A good closeout runs the same way every time: walk the job with the owner, log every item with a photo while you're standing in front of it, send each sub their list the same day, check the fixes, and walk it again before the final invoice. The app keeps that loop in one place, so the second walk starts from what's still open, not from memory.
How it works
Walk it, send it, close it
Walk the job
Add items from your phone as you go: snap a photo, type the location (“Kitchen, north wall”), pick the trade and the sub. Pin it to the plan sheet if that helps.
Send it to the subs
Send one sub one item, or send every sub their whole open list, one message each. They get the items, locations and due dates by text or email.
Track and close
Filter by sub, location, status or overdue. Mark items ready for review when the sub says they're done, then close them once you've checked.
Hand it over
Print the punch list as a PDF for the final walk with the owner, and show the items you choose on the client portal.
One job, one app
Punch items don't live on an island
Change one thing and the rest keeps up. That's the difference between one app and four.
Inspections
A failed item on an inspection or checklist becomes a punch item on its own, so nothing is retyped.
Construction daily reports and field toolsPlans
Pin an item to a spot on a plan sheet, so the sub sees exactly where the problem is.

Items go to the sub on the item by text or email, with the location and due date.

Who it's for
Built for builders, not enterprises.
Remodelers
Homeowners notice everything. Log it with a photo the first time, so nothing turns into he-said-she-said.
Custom home builders
Copy one item to every room or unit it applies to, and run the blue-tape walk from your phone.
Supers and project managers
One list per job, filtered by sub, with overdue items flagged on your Today screen.
What it replaces
A printable template is a fine start. Once items need photos, subs and due dates, you're retyping, and the list goes stale the day after the walk.

The legal pad and blue tape
The list lives on the job, with photos, not on the dashboard of a truck.
Spreadsheet templates
Statuses, due dates and who it's assigned to update as the work gets done.
A punch-only app
A separate punch app doesn't know your schedule, inspections or subs. Here it's the same job.
Straight answers
What it doesn't do (yet)
- Subs don't get a page to check off their own punch items yet. They get their list by text or email, and your team marks items ready for review and closed.
- There's no App Store download. It's a web app you add to your phone's home screen, with offline support for the jobs you download.
- Open punch items don't hold back a payment on their own. Use retainage on the subcontract for that.
Questions
Common questions.
What is a punch list in construction?
The list of work that's unfinished or needs fixing near the end of a job: a scratched door, a missing outlet cover, touch-up paint. The job isn't closed out, and the final payment often isn't released, until the list is done.
Who is responsible for the punch list?
Usually the general contractor builds and runs it, often walking the job with the owner or architect. Each sub fixes the items in their trade, and the GC checks and closes them.
What should be included on a punch list?
For each item: what's wrong, where it is, a photo, the trade, who is responsible, a due date and a status. Construction Company Software has a place for each, plus priority and a link to the schedule task.
Is there a free punch list template?
Yes. Our free punch list template is a printable starting point. When you want photos, subs and due dates tracked for you, move the list into Construction Company Software.
Does the punch list app work offline?
Yes. Download the job before you go. You can read the punch list and add items with photos with no signal, and they sync in order when you're back online.
What's the difference between a punch list and a checklist?
A checklist (or inspection) is what you check on every job, like a pre-drywall inspection. A punch list is what's actually wrong on this one. In Construction Company Software, failed checklist items turn into punch items, so the two stay connected.
Can I use it for warranty items too?
Yes. An item can be a punch item, an observation, an issue, a warranty item or a to-do, so one list covers the walk-through and the callbacks after handover.
Which plan includes punch lists?
Every plan, including the Field plan. The Whole Job plan adds unlimited jobs and the money tools.
