MAKE-READY BENEFITS OF USING A CHECKLIST APP

Fast setup with no training required

If your maintenance team can send a text, they can use PunchPad. There’s no training and no setup. Open the app, log make-ready items, assign responsibility, and keep unit turnover moving.

PunchPad is also commonly used as a punch list app for home builders, remodelers and GCs.

Replace spreadsheets and PDFs with one live make-ready checklist

PunchPad replaces scattered spreadsheets, PDFs, and email threads with a single live make-ready checklist per unit. Each item includes photos, notes, due dates, and status so nothing gets missed or delayed before move-in.

Built for real-world turnover, not bloated property software

PunchPad is intentionally focused on make-ready work. It’s not a full property management platform and it’s not trying to do everything. It’s built to handle the details that matter during unit turnover and keep them organized in one place.

If you’re currently using a make-ready spreadsheet or printed checklist, switching to a live checklist means every update stays synced and visible in real time.

If you’re using a Make Ready Excel Template, switching to a punch list app keeps every update synced across your team in real time.
