About This Automation

Punch list and handover involves inspecting completed work, documenting defects, coordinating contractor fixes, and preparing client sign-off. Manual coordination across spreadsheets, emails, and messages creates delays and missed items.

Automation centralizes punch list creation, routes tasks to contractors with automatic reminders, tracks completion photos, and generates handover reports instantly. Client sign-off becomes streamlined and documented.

Key features
Extract punch list items from inspection notes and photos automatically
Assign tasks to contractors and send notifications with one action
Monitor contractor progress and send escalation alerts for overdue work
Collect and verify completion photos in a centralized location
Generate handover reports and client sign-off documents instantly
Track project closure status from inspection to final approval

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Final Inspection Triggeredtrigger

Workflow starts when a project is marked as final inspection complete or a form submission is received.

2. Create Punch List Task Board

Automation creates a new project for the punch list with sections for each contractor and status columns (To Do, In Progress, Complete).

3. Parse and Log Items

The automation reads the inspection notes and photos, extracts punch list items, and creates individual tasks with descriptions, photos, and priority levels.

4. Assign Tasks to Contractors

Automation assigns each task to the responsible contractor and sends them a notification with the task link and deadline.

5. Monitor Task Completion

Automation tracks task status changes and sends daily reminders to contractors with overdue items. When a task is marked complete, it requests photo evidence.

6. Generate Handover Report

Once all tasks are complete or a deadline is reached, automation generates a handover report in Google Docs listing all items, completion status, and photos.

7. Send Handover to Client

Automation emails the handover report and completion photos to the client, with a link to a sign-off form embedded in the message.

8. Log Sign-Off and Close Project

When the client submits the sign-off form, automation updates the project status to Closed and sends a final confirmation email to all parties.
