Walk the site, pin each item on the plan, and hand it to the crew that fixes it. The superintendent checks the work and closes it. Nothing gets lost between the walk and the closeout.
An open item is a red dot on the plan. Photo, circled. Description drafted for you. Assigned to a trade.
Ready for review
The subcontractor sees only their own work, fixes it, and marks it ready. In the basement with no signal, if that is where the work is.
Closed
The superintendent checks it on the next walk and closes it. Only the superintendent can.
What the walk needs
Everything on the item. Nothing on paper.
Capture
Circle it. Draw the arrow.
Photograph the problem and mark it up right on the photo. Drop a pin where it lives on the floor plan. Let the built-in assistant draft the description, or write your own. The person fixing it sees exactly what you saw.
Assign and track
Send it to the right sub.
Each item goes to one trade, and that sub sees only their own work. Open, in progress, ready for review, closed. Every status change is checked by the server, so the record holds up when it matters.
Offline
Works with no signal.
Basements, elevator shafts, dead zones. Keep capturing and updating; everything syncs on its own when you are back on the network. Nothing waits on a bar of signal.
Notifications
A morning digest, not a feed.
New assignments, items ready for review, mentions, closed work. Push notifications you control, plus one summary by email each morning.
Reports
A sheet each sub can sign.
Share the full punch list, or an outstanding-items sheet for one contact, grouped floor by floor with signature lines. Photos, markups and pins included.
Roles
Each person sees their part.
Administrators run the company.
Register it, invite the team, and see every project the company owns.
Superintendents run the job.
Create the project, upload the plans, pin the items, check the work. Only a superintendent closes an item.
Subcontractors see the work assigned to them.
Their items, their photos, their due dates. Fix it, mark it ready, move on.
Getting started
Up and running in an afternoon.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is PunchLog free?+
Yes. PunchLog is free while it is in beta. There is no card to enter and no trial that runs out. Paid plans will come later, and this site will say so before anything changes.
Does it work without a signal?+
Yes. Everything you capture or change is saved on the phone first and syncs by itself when a connection comes back. Basements, elevator shafts and dead zones are the normal case, not an edge case.
Who can see what?+
Administrators run the company and see every project that belongs to it. Superintendents run the job and see the projects they are on. Subcontractors see the items assigned to them, and nothing else.
