Questions
What goes in a punch list?
The list of work still to finish or fix before a project is closed out: every item by area and trade, who is responsible, the due date, and the next walkthrough, from the notes taken on the walk. ReportDraft lays it out in 10 sections: walls, ceilings and paint, doors, hardware and windows, flooring and tile, cabinets, counters and trim, electrical and lighting, plumbing and fixtures, heating, cooling and ventilation, exterior and site, cleaning and closeout, completion and next walkthrough.
Do my province or territory's rules change the report?
Pick your province or territory when you start. Where we have checked a local requirement against official sources, it is added to your completeness list with a link to the source.
Can I edit the draft?
Yes. Every finding, rating and sentence is editable before you sign. Your own entries always win over anything drafted from your notes.
What do I get at the end?
A signed, locked PDF for your client and an editable Word file, both with your company details. Signed reports keep a fingerprint so later changes are visible.
Which plan covers it?
ReportDraft Construction covers a punch list along with site safety inspections, incident reports. Daily Construction Reports is also sold on its own.
