The problem
Multi-family projects have dozens or hundreds of identical or similar units that progress through the same construction phases at different rates. The super needs to know which units have completed framing, which are ready for rough-in inspection, which have open punch items, and which are turned over. This status tracking typically happens in a spreadsheet with unit numbers in rows and phases in columns, updated manually by whoever remembers to do it.
The spreadsheet approach breaks down because it has no spatial context. When the super needs to plan the next week of work, they look at a grid of numbers and try to map it mentally to the building. Which units are on the same floor? Which are adjacent and could be worked on by the same crew? The spreadsheet cannot answer those questions because it does not know where the units are in the building. The super ends up walking the building to figure out what the spreadsheet should have told them.
How HomeFloorPlan solves it
HomeFloorPlan lets you track unit status directly on the floor plan. Each unit on the drawing is color-coded by phase or status: blue for framing, yellow for rough-in, green for ready for inspection, red for open punch items. The super opens the plan and immediately sees which units are in which phase, where they are in the building, and which areas have bottlenecks.
Pin items to individual units for punch list tracking, inspection findings, and progress documentation. Filter by unit, by floor, or by status to get the exact view you need. When the owner asks for a turnover schedule, pull up the plan and show them the visual progression across the building. The plan-based view answers questions that spreadsheets cannot.
Key features
Unit status on the plan
See the status of every unit color-coded directly on the floor plan. Identify which units are in which phase at a glance.
Per-unit punch list tracking
Pin punch list items inside individual units on the plan. Track open items per unit and filter to see which units are clear.
Floor and building filtering
Filter the plan view by floor or building to focus on a specific section of the project. See unit status across the entire building or drill into one floor.
Progress visualization
Watch the building turn from red to green as units progress through phases. The plan becomes a real-time visual dashboard of project progress.
Why teams choose HomeFloorPlan
- Replace unit tracking spreadsheets with a visual, plan-based view
- Give supers an instant snapshot of unit status across the building
- Plan work sequences by seeing which adjacent units are in the same phase
- Track punch list items per unit to accelerate the turnover process
- Show owners and developers a clear visual of progress across all units
Frequently asked questions
How many units can I track in a single project?
HomeFloorPlan does not limit the number of units per project. Whether you have 20 units or 200, you can track status and pin items on every unit in the drawing set.
Can I customize the status phases for units?
You can use tags and status labels in HomeFloorPlan to define the phases that match your project workflow, from rough-in through turnover.
Does this work for mixed-use buildings with different unit types?
Yes. Each sheet in HomeFloorPlan can represent a different floor or area. You can track residential units, retail spaces, and common areas all within the same project.
