Defect tracking in carpentry and joinery involves spotting incomplete or damaged work on site, documenting it, and coordinating repairs across multiple trades. Manual logging in spreadsheets and email chains creates delays, missed defects, and unclear accountability.
Automation captures defects from photos and notes, assigns them to the right trade instantly, and tracks completion status without manual chasing. Defects close faster with complete audit trails and verified proof of repair.
