Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a site audit and a punch list?
A site audit documents conditions and observations at any point during a project, while a punch list documents incomplete or defective work near completion. The same app can handle both workflows with the same item structure.
Who uses site audit apps?
General contractors, QA/QC teams, owners, architects, consulting engineers, and building inspectors — anyone who walks a site and needs a defensible photo-backed record of what they saw.
Can a site audit app work offline?
Yes. Punch List & Site Audit captures observations, photos, and notes offline, which is essential for basements, shells, and remote or newly handed-over sites without reliable internet access.
What should a site audit report include?
Location, date, observer, observation description, severity or risk level, and photo evidence for each item, plus a project summary page. All of this is generated automatically in the PDF export.
How often should site audits be performed?
Routine audits are often weekly or at defined milestones; closeout audits happen near substantial completion. Frequency depends on project size, risk profile, and contractual requirements with the owner.
