The problem
Punch lists created on clipboards and spreadsheets lose context the moment you walk off the job site. You write "patch drywall near kitchen window" and three days later nobody remembers which window you meant. Photos get texted around in a group chat, screenshots pile up in emails, and the GC ends up walking the entire unit again because half the items were never actually closed out.
Multiply that by forty units or ten floors and the close-out process drags on for weeks. Owners hold retention, subs argue about what was really their scope, and the project manager spends more time chasing status updates than managing the build. The whole system falls apart because the punch list has no connection to the drawing it came from.
How HomeFloorPlan solves it
HomeFloorPlan lets you pin punch list items directly on the construction drawing at the exact location where the issue exists. Tap the plan, drop a pin, snap a photo, and assign it to the responsible sub, all from your phone on the job site. Every item has a location, a photo, an owner, and a status. No more guessing which window or which wall.
Your entire team sees the same live punch list overlaid on the plan. Subs get notified when items are assigned to their trade, mark them complete with a photo, and the GC verifies from the field or the office. Filter by trade, by status, by floor. When the owner does the final walk, you pull up the plan and show them every item is resolved.
Key features
Location-pinned items
Drop a pin on the exact spot on the drawing where the issue exists. No more written descriptions that nobody can interpret.
Trade assignment and filtering
Assign each item to the responsible trade. Filter the view so electricians only see electrical items, plumbers only see plumbing.
Photo documentation
Attach before and after photos to each item. Capture the issue and the resolution in one thread tied to the plan.
Status tracking to close-out
Track items from open to in-progress to resolved. See completion percentages by trade, by floor, or by unit.

Frequently asked questions
Can subs mark their own punch list items as complete?
Yes. Subs can update the status of items assigned to their trade and attach a photo showing the work is done. The GC or PM can then verify and close the item.
Does the punch list work on mobile at the job site?
Absolutely. HomeFloorPlan runs in your mobile browser with no app install required. Walk the site, tap the plan, drop pins, and snap photos right from your phone.
Can I export the punch list for the owner or architect?
Yes. You can export a punch list report as a PDF that includes each item, its location on the plan, photos, status, and the responsible trade.
