Built for Closeout Documentation. Capture defects with photos, note the exact location, and share a clean PDF before the walkthrough ends.
Closeout documentation is the package of records handed to the owner when a construction project finishes — a resolved punch list, warranties, operation and maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, lien releases, and final inspection reports. A photo-backed punch list resolution report is one of the most frequently requested pieces of this package.

Project teams need a live record of open items, due dates, and trade responsibility.
Capture defects with photos, note the exact location, and share a clean PDF before the walkthrough ends.
Each record can include location, trade, status, due date, notes, and photo evidence in one place.
That keeps walkthroughs consistent and makes PDF reporting fast at the end of the visit.
Instead of paper notes or static spreadsheets, the whole list stays live in the field and easy to share.
Contractors, consultants, and owners can review the same structured record from first walk to final sign-off.
A complete closeout package typically includes the resolved punch list with photo evidence, product warranties, operation and maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, lien waivers, final inspection certificates, and any commissioning reports required by the contract.
Substantial completion is typically declared only once every punch list item is resolved or formally accepted. The signed-off punch list with photo evidence demonstrates that outstanding work has been addressed and triggers final payment.
Punch List & Site Audit exports a branded PDF report with every item, its status, and attached photos. That PDF goes directly into the closeout package alongside warranties and as-builts — no transcription step required.
Typically the general contractor or construction manager assembles the package with input from subcontractors (warranties, O&M manuals) and consultants (final inspections, commissioning). The owner receives the final bundle at handover.
Owners typically retain the full package for the life of the building, with warranty records kept at least through the warranty period and as-builts kept indefinitely. Contractors should keep copies through their statutory record retention period, often seven to ten years.
