How Subs Actually Want Punch Lists: No Apps, No Logins
On every job, subs just want the facts:
What’s mine to do?
Where is it?
When is it due?
But here’s the truth—most punch list systems fail them. They pile on friction with account setups, logins, or another app to download. Crews don’t have time for that.
That’s why PunchPad is built different. It’s designed around how subs actually work:
1. Live Links, No Logins
Every trade gets a simple link they can open on their phone. That link always stays live, always updated. No sign-up. No passwords. No extra steps.
Example: A painter gets a link with room-by-room tasks, complete with photos and due dates. When the GC closes an item, it disappears instantly from that link. No confusion, no callbacks.
2. Clarity That Travels With the Crew
PunchPad lets site leads attach photos, room tags, and deadlines to every item. That means subs don’t just see “Fix drywall”—they see exactly which wall, with a photo, and when it’s due. Clear assignments = fewer mistakes, fewer back charges.
3. Speed That Keeps the Job Moving
If you can tap, you can punch. That’s the whole point. No training, no wasted minutes trying to figure out software. Crews walk in, check their link, and get to work.
4. Built for the Whole Build
From rough-in through trim, PunchPad keeps subs in the loop at every phase. That’s how jobs close clean—without the end-of-project scramble.
PunchPad makes punch lists simple: clear tasks, photos, and live reports all in one place—no apps or logins needed for subs.
Why It Matters
When subs have clarity, they move faster. When GCs don’t waste time managing outdated lists, closeout stays on schedule. And when everyone knows exactly what’s left to do, payment delays disappear.
Punch lists aren’t just paperwork—they’re how jobs finish clean. And the only way that works is if subs actually use the system.
With PunchPad, they will. Because they don’t need an account. They don’t need an app. They just need the link.
