The Problem
Traditionally, inspection professionals, architects and owners have juggled multiple copies of floor plans, clipboards, inspection forms and supplies, while working their way through their projects creating the punch list. All this under tight deadlines and pressure from all sides to get the project over the finish line.

Once the punch list inspection was completed, the tedious work began. Compiling and delivering the information from the variety of punch lists and hand marked up plan diagrams to the various sub-contractors and job foreman. Then tracking the progress of each punch list item required any number of duplicate steps and endless copying and distributing of materials.

Finally, coordinating the various punch lists between the contractor, the architect and owners, meant hours and hours of meetings. Often having punch list meetings on multiple occasions, sometimes ending in miscommunication and unnecessary tensions between the parties.

Along came early punch list software on computers and PDAs but still they didn't provide a complete solution for punch list management.

What if.... To Create a Punch List .......

  • The inspector could walk into the project with a single device that had an electronic copy of every unique floor plan for every area in the project?
  • What if they could choose the floor plan of the unit or area they are working on, by pointing with a penlike stylus.
  • Then they could touch the spot, right on the plan, where there is a punch list item.
  • A small electronic form would pop onto the screen and they fill in the punch list item, location of the problem, trade and sub-contractor through logical pull down menus, hand write or type on a virtual keyboard any comments regarding the punch list item and when done they click OK.
  • A sequentially numbered Punch List Dot would automatically appear on the floor plan where the problem is.
  • Our customers experience is that Finishline's "Punch on the Plan" technology results in a 50% reduction in time to create the punch list..

What if.......To distribute the punch list information to the Sub Contractors or Job Foremen.........

  • The inspector or an assistant (or anyone on the planet with Internet access and the proper security codes) could pull up the FinishLine Punch List Software and print out punch list reports for each sub-contractor in Floor-plan and list views with only their punch list items for completion. All in seconds. These can be physically printed or electronically distributed via email or faxed as you would any other communications.
  • Our customers experience is that Finishline results in a 75% reduction in time to distribute punch list information.

What if......To Re-inspect the punch list items......

  • The inspector pulls up the area plan, in FinishLine, for re-inspection, clicks on a punch list item, the same simple form comes up and if everything is complete he touches his pen to Complete the punch list task and that’s it. The punch list item Dot is removed from the plan and they move on.
  • Our customers experience is that Finishline results in a 40% reduction in time to re-inspect the punch list items.

What if...... the General Contractor, Architect and Developer used the same Punch List Software for tracking the punch list? (stay with me for a second......)

  • The General Contractor, Architect or Developer logs into the punch list system as a different punchlist inspection party and so punch lists created, in FinishLine, by each party, are in a different colors or shapes. Different Punch List inspection groups cannot alter or delete each other’s items.
  • Long lead punch list items, not completed by the contractor, appear on the plan as open punch list items so the others don’t need to duplicate the item.
  • Punch list items created by other parties are cleared on re-inspection
  • One Punch List – No more OAC meetings coordinating between multiple and disparate Punch Lists.  Everyone uses the same punch list coding, punch list terms, and everyone is on the same punch list page. (literally)  Punch List Coordination between parties is cut by 75%.
