Built for Contractor Deficiency List. The app keeps field notes, trade ownership, and closeout reports in one place.
A contractor deficiency list is a record of substandard, incomplete, or non-conforming work flagged during a project — effectively a formal punch list. Each item describes the deficiency, its location, and the trade responsible, supported by photos, and is tracked to resolution before final payment or closeout.

Contractors, builders, and site managers need a fast way to capture incomplete work and assign follow-up items.
The app keeps field notes, trade ownership, and closeout reports in one place.
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.
In most contexts yes — "deficiency list" and "punch list" describe the same document. Some contracts use "deficiency" for items that fail contract requirements and "punch" for smaller incomplete work, but the workflow and fields are identical.
Each deficiency should include a dated photo, a specific location, a short description referencing the contract or specification it fails, the responsible trade, and a status tracked through to resolution. Timestamps and photos prevent disputes.
The general contractor typically owns the list, but owners, architects, consultants, and building officials can add items. A single shared tool prevents duplicate lists and conflicting status updates across parties.
Most contracts allow the owner to withhold retainage, hire another contractor to correct the work, or pursue formal dispute resolution. Photo-backed deficiency records are critical evidence in any of those paths.
Punch List & Site Audit captures every deficiency with a photo, location, trade, and status, and exports a branded PDF report. It's free on iOS, works offline, and produces a defensible record without per-seat subscription fees.
