Frequently asked questions

What fields should a punch list template include?

Location, trade, description, photo, status (open/in progress/resolved), date recorded, due date, and responsible party. Optional fields include severity, cost impact, and references to related RFIs or change orders.

Is an Excel punch list template enough?

For very small projects, yes. For anything with photos, multiple trades, or more than a few dozen items, a mobile app beats Excel on speed, photo handling, and reporting — and eliminates the re-typing step.

Is there a free punch list template?

Punch List & Site Audit provides the equivalent of a reusable template inside a free iOS app — start a new project and the fields are ready to go, with no download or formatting required.

Can I reuse the same template across projects?

Yes. The same structure — location, trade, status, photo, notes — is used for every new project, so your crew develops a consistent reporting habit and owners see the same familiar PDF format every time.

How do I convert a template into a live punch list?

Start a new project in the app, walk the site, and add items as you find them. The template becomes a live report the moment you capture the first photo — no transcription or data entry step required.
