Punch list software generates lists and reports that contractors use to identify incomplete work, deficiencies, and compliance issues that must be resolved before they can receive payment for their work. Functionalities within punch list software can range from simply recording and itemizing tasks that need to be addressed following the completion of a construction project to facilitating the inspection, assignment, and approval of those tasks to ensure a project was satisfactorily completed and in compliance.
Punch lists, also referred to as snag lists, are a crucial part of any construction project and hence, standalone solutions exist to automate and simplify their creation. However, many construction software vendors also offer punch list, check list, or site inspection functionality as part of a comprehensive construction project management software. This category only represents the standalone products aimed specifically toward the punch list process.
To qualify for inclusion in the Punch List category, a product must:
Generate reports that list the types of items and deficiencies discovered upon a construction site walkthrough
Support the creation, continued usage, and updates of punch list templates
Allow the uploading of photos, notes, and any type of relevant documentation
Exist as a standalone product and not a broader construction project management solution
