About This Automation

Punch list and handover is the final phase of a construction project where incomplete work and defects are identified, documented, assigned to contractors, and verified before client sign-off.

Automation captures inspection data directly into a structured format, routes items to contractors with photos and deadlines, tracks completion in real time, and generates the final handover report automatically.

Key features
Capture inspection findings directly into a structured defect database with photos and location details
Route punch list items automatically to the correct contractor based on trade type and assign deadlines
Send real-time notifications to contractors with item details and track acknowledgment and completion status
Flag completed items for visual verification and update the handover report template automatically
Generate final handover reports and certificates with sign-off dates ready for client delivery

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Form Submittedtrigger

Inspector completes a mobile-friendly form with defect descriptions, locations, photos, and severity. The form submission triggers the automation.

2. Parse Inspection Data

The automation extracts defect details, photos, and location data from the form and structures them for downstream routing.

3. Create Punch List

A new row is automatically added to the master punch list spreadsheet with defect description, location, assigned contractor, due date, and status.

4. Assign to Contractor

A message is automatically sent to the assigned contractor with the defect details, photos, and deadline, requesting confirmation of receipt.

5. Monitor Completion Status

The automation periodically checks the spreadsheet for status updates. When a contractor marks an item complete, a notification is sent to the project manager for verification.

6. Generate Handover Report

Once all punch list items are marked complete and verified, the automation generates a PDF handover report with all defect details, remediation dates, and sign-off fields.

7. Send Final Handover via Email

The completed handover report is automatically emailed to the client and project stakeholders with a summary of all work completed.
