Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a construction checklist and a punch list?
A checklist is a predefined list of items you walk against (safety, QA/QC, pre-pour, handover); a punch list is a list of defects found during a walkthrough. The same app can support both workflows with a shared item structure.
What checklists do construction teams actually use?
Pre-pour concrete checks, daily safety inspections, toolbox talks, QA/QC at each trade handoff, closeout checklists, and owner-handover checklists are the most common across residential and commercial projects.
Can I create custom checklists in the app?
Punch List & Site Audit is built around free-form item capture, which lets you replicate any checklist by adding expected items as you walk the site. Items can be pre-created at the start of a walkthrough or added on the fly.
Does a construction checklist app work offline?
Yes. Offline capture is essential — Punch List & Site Audit stores items and photos on the device and exports PDFs without an internet connection, which matters on basements, slabs, and rural sites.
Who uses construction checklist apps?
Superintendents, site managers, QA/QC inspectors, safety officers, and building inspectors — anyone who regularly walks a site against a set of expected items and needs a photo-backed record of what was checked.
