Who Punchlists AI Serves on the Job
Punchlists AI is for people who build, not for a software department. General contractors, subcontractors, owners, developers, and field crews each have a page about the work they touch. The Field App is the text path for updates and punch items. Managed Solutions is custom screens and reports when you want that setup done for you.
General Contractors: One List for the Field and the Office
General contractors use Punchlists AI when updates get buried in the group text and the office finds out late. The Field App lets people on site text instead of learning another login. You still choose what an owner or a sub receives. It can fit a small crew or a larger office if the people on site will text.
SubcontractorsSubcontractors: Text the Update Without Another App Login
Subcontractors are often asked to download a builder’s app, make a password, and hunt for the punch item. Many crews will not do that, so the photo stays on one phone. Punchlists AI lets the foreman text the update to the job. The general contractor still decides what is sent on to the owner.
Owners and developersOwners and Developers: Read the Updates Your Builder Chooses to Send
Owners and developers usually hear about the job only when the builder sends an update. Punchlists AI does not give you a separate system that watches the crew on its own. The Field App includes a client dashboard, and the builder chooses which texts, tasks, and photos you receive. Ask what they will send, and how often.
Field crewsField Crews: Text the Punch Item and Get Back to the Work
Field crews lose time when every update means opening an app, finding a login, or resending a photo in five threads. The Field App asks you to text the job instead. A superintendent or project manager sees the task. You do not have to install software or remember a password to report what is done.
