Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create punch list items in the field?
Space AI's mobile app makes punch list creation fast and easy. Tap to add a new item, snap a photo with your phone camera, add a note (type or use voice-to-text), and drop a pin on the floor plan. The app automatically captures date, time, GPS location, and your user info. Creating a complete punch item takes about 10 seconds.
Can I work offline?
Yes, Space AI's mobile app works fully offline. Create punch items, take photos, and add notes without any internet connection. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online. Perfect for basement levels, remote sites, or buildings with poor connectivity.
How do subcontractors receive punch list assignments?
When you assign a punch item, the responsible party receives an instant notification via email and mobile push notification. The notification includes the item description, photos, location on floor plan, priority, and due date. Subs can view and respond through the free Space AI mobile app or a web link.
Can I track before and after photos?
Absolutely. Space AI maintains the full history of each punch item including original photos, any update photos, and final completion photos. Completion reports show before/after comparisons so owners can see exactly what was fixed. Great for disputes or warranty claims.
How do I export punch lists for specific trades?
Use Space AI's powerful filtering to narrow your punch list by trade, location, priority, status, or any combination. Then export to PDF or Excel. You can also create saved filter views for common exports — for example, 'Electrical Open Items Floor 3' — and share directly with trade partners.
Does Space AI support multiple punch walks?
Yes, you can conduct unlimited punch walks and organize them by date, walk type (architect walk, owner walk, final walk), or area. Compare results across walks to track resolution progress. The system maintains a complete audit trail of all walks and item status changes.
Can owners and architects access the punch list?
Yes, you can invite owners, architects, and consultants with view-only or edit access. They can see punch list progress in real-time, add their own items during walks, and approve completed work. Access permissions are fully configurable by user and project.
What reports are available?
Space AI provides comprehensive punch list reporting: Status Summary (open/in progress/complete by area), Aging Report (items overdue or approaching due date), Trade Responsibility Report, Completion Certificate with before/after photos, and Executive Dashboard showing project-wide closeout progress.
