Construction punch list software for architects
Pin every defect, observation, and reserve on the drawing during the site visit, then assign it and track it through closeout with a complete history.
Issue tracking in Builddar lets architects pin every defect, observation, and reserve to its exact location on a construction drawing. Each item keeps its zone, trade, description, photo, responsible contractor, deadline, and status from the first site inspection to final sign-off. Every assignment, reply, photo, and status change remains in the item's timestamped history.
The problem this solves
You walk the site with a phone in one hand and a notebook in the other. You photograph a defect, scribble a location, name a trade, and promise yourself you will write it up tonight. By the time you are back at the desk, you have 40 observations across three apps: photos in your camera roll, notes in a spreadsheet, follow-ups in WhatsApp, and assignments still living in your head.
The day before reception, the count comes due. You reconcile the spreadsheet against the photos, chase contractors who never saw the request, and rebuild a punch list from memory. Items fall through and deadlines pass with no reliable record of who was told what, or when.
Capture is the weak link. When logging a defect interrupts the visit, items are recorded later and with less detail. The evidence chain then breaks at the source, on the walkthrough, where it should be strongest.
How issue tracking works in Builddar
- 01
Pin the snag on the drawing during the site visit
Open the drawing on a phone or tablet, tap the exact location, photograph the defect, and add its zone, trade, description, and deadline. The snag is documented before you move on.
- 02
Assigned automatically
The reserve is linked to the responsible trade and contractor. When that contractor participates, the item and its updates can be exchanged by email.
- 03
The contractor sees exactly what to fix
When the contractor joins the loop, they receive the photo, location, trade, and deadline with free access. The architect's tracking still works if they do not log in.
- 04
Tracked to resolution
Each reserve moves through open, in progress, and resolved with a timestamp on every change. You see live status across the project, by zone, by trade, by deadline.
- 05
A complete item history
Every observation, photo, assignment, and status change is recorded with its author and timestamp on EU-hosted infrastructure.
What you get
Capture during the visit
Log a defect with location, trade, photo, and deadline during the visit, without leaving the inspection.
Zero re-entry
What you capture on-site becomes the punch list, the reports, and the handover document. You enter each item once.
Live resolution status
See open, in-progress, and resolved reserves across the project in real time, filtered by zone, trade, or deadline.
A continuous evidence history
Every action is timestamped and attributed, keeping the facts and supporting items in one continuous project history.
Free for subcontractors
Subcontractors receive, view, and resolve reserves at no cost, so nothing is gated behind a paywall on-site.
Mobile capture that works on-site
The mobile app captures reserves on the walk, in French, English, on EU-hosted infrastructure.
For which projects and firms
Issue tracking is built for architecture and maîtrise d'œuvre teams on full-service appointments, across collective housing and commercial projects, supervising several schemes in execution. The plan starts at €35 excl. VAT per month per active project, with unlimited seats and free contractor access.
