A construction punch list is a written record of incomplete, incorrect, or defective work identified near the end of a project that must be finished before the job is accepted. Each item typically notes the location, responsible trade, description of the issue, supporting photos, and current status, and is resolved by the contractor before final sign-off.

A punch list app is a mobile tool for capturing incomplete or defective construction work, assigning it to a trade, documenting it with photos, and producing a shareable report. It replaces paper checklists and spreadsheets on active job sites, keeping every item's location, status, and evidence in one place from first walk to final sign-off.

Punch List & Site Audit uses subscriptions for Pro features. Field capture, photos, status, priority, and PDF preview workflows are built for iPhone walkthroughs, while clean branded PDFs, import/export, and iCloud sync are subscription features.

The best ones do. Punch List & Site Audit captures items, photos, and notes fully offline and exports a PDF without an internet connection, which is essential on basements, shells, and remote sites without reliable Wi-Fi.

They describe the same process. "Punch list" is the standard term in the United States and Canada, while "snag list" is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Both refer to outstanding defects and incomplete work captured before final handover.

Install a dedicated iPhone punch list app like Punch List & Site Audit, start a new project, and walk the site adding items as you go — each item captures a photo, location, trade, status, and notes. At the end of the walkthrough, export a PDF and share it from the iOS share sheet with your client or subcontractors.

Large platforms do much more than punch lists, which also means more cost, training, and login friction. A dedicated punch list app wins when defect capture and closeout PDFs are the core workflow — many teams run both.

Yes. Generate a PDF at the end of the walkthrough and share it via email, Messages, AirDrop, or any iOS share extension. Pro unlocks clean branded PDFs, and subcontractors can still work straight from the shared report without installing the app.
