Paper checklists might work for some tasks, but they aren’t the best for a detailed process like a final walkthrough and unit turnover. And if you’re inspecting a larger project, it’s possible to get checklists mixed up between each unit inspection as the day goes on.

Using a location-based punch list app like FinishLine makes it clear as to what the deficiencies are and where they are located. If issues are noted with appliances or casework during the walkthrough, the inspectors can document that for all to see. Then once the issue is resolved, you can add before and after photos to further back up the work.

We get it, at the end of a project, you just want to be done with it. The problem with that is, it can be easy to get lazy and cut corners. If you have a pre-defined electronic turnover checklist that needs to be signed off, your team will be more likely to complete all of the necessary steps.

Since employee changeover is common as projects near completion, there is often a disconnect between the construction and warranty period. Rolling FinishLine into the warranty period is easy, since project plans are already loaded and setup. This allows building maintenance staff to report issues if they should arise.
