Punch list and handover closes out a residential build, capturing outstanding defects, tracking subcontractor fixes, and assembling final documents for the client. Done by hand, it relies on scattered notes, repeated follow-up calls, and manual assembly of warranties and sign-off paperwork.
An automated version turns walkthrough photos and notes into a structured, trade-sorted punch list, tracks subcontractor completion automatically, and assembles the handover package for signature. The result is a faster closeout with fewer missed items and less chasing.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Superintendent uploads final walkthrough photos and voice or text notes to a shared folder, starting the process.
The automation reads photos and notes and drafts a structured list of defects with trade, location, and severity.
The compiled list is written into a shared spreadsheet with photo links attached to each item.
The automation matches punch items to the responsible subcontractor and sets a completion deadline for each.
Each subcontractor receives their assigned punch items and due dates directly in their inbox.
Items left open past their deadline are flagged for the superintendent to chase directly on site.
Once all items are marked resolved, the automation assembles warranties, manuals, and the closed punch list into one package.
The client receives the closeout package and signature request, completing the handover.
