In the recent past, I have written about the future of the construction industry and the future of the cellphone. Recently, a new tool—the Punch List App—has been brought to my attention which addresses the two areas and I believe it has the potential to save contractors, sub-contractors and, ultimately, customers a great deal of both money and time.
I strongly encourage you to read this article, entitled Bringing Your Punch List Into the 21st Century, but a few of the highlights of the technology that jumped out at me included: manipulating 3-D models of a specific room with your fingers; geo-tagging photos of certain problem issues; and attaching audio notes to those photos. The software also has the ability to assign tasks to the nearest employee.
In general, the app should help contractors streamline communications and better organize information—and for that reason alone it is a technology that should be considered now by every construction company, contractor and sub-contractor.
