The clipboard
A pre-pour checklist on paper, signed in the rain, filed in a truck. Good luck finding it when the inspector asks.
Your QC checklist, the same on every job.
Build the inspection checklist once, run it on any project from your phone, and turn every failed item into a task or a punch item before the next trade covers it up.

Why inspections slip
The checklist that changes every job
Each super keeps his own version. The company’s QC standard is whatever the last person remembered.
The “no” that went nowhere
The box says the blocking isn’t in. Nobody turned it into work, so the drywall went up over it.
How it works
One template, every job, nothing left on a clipboard
- 01
Build the template once
Set up your company’s checklists in the Library: pre-pour, pre-drywall, rooftop startup, life-safety walk. Each item is a checkbox, yes/no, text, number, date, choice or a photo.
- 02
Run it on any job
Start a checklist from the template on the project you’re standing on. Every job gets the same standard, and the template stays the same for the next one.
- 03
Turn a problem into work
Any item can become a task, a punch item or an observation on the spot. The checklist keeps a link to what it turned into.
- 04
Complete it, on the recordAutomatic
Mark it complete and it’s stamped with the time and posted to the project feed for the PM. Reopen it if something changes.
On site
An inspection checklist app that’s just your phone
Walk the pour with the checklist open. Answer each item, add a note, take the photo, and turn the problem into a punch item right there.
- Photos on the items that need them
- Progress shown as you answer
- Nothing to install from an app store
Observations
Write down what you saw. Decide what it is later.
Not everything fits a checklist. An observation is a quick note with a photo, and it can become a task, an RFI, a punch item or a safety post once you know what it is.
- Photos carry over when it’s converted
- Pick who can see each one
- Comments on the observation itself
Field notes beyond the checklist
Observations
Write down what you saw with photos, who it’s for and who can see it. Open, work required or resolved.
Turn it into anything
An observation becomes a task, an RFI, a punch item or a safety post later, with its photos copied over.
Safety posts
Safety notes filed from the field, per project and across every job, filtered open or resolved.
Every job at once
All checklists and all observations across your projects, each in one list.
Questions we get asked
Can I make my own inspection checklists?
Yes. Build company templates in the Library with your own items and a category, then run them on any project. Items can be checkboxes, yes/no, text, numbers, dates, choices or photos, and every item takes a note.
What happens when an item fails?
Turn it into a task, a punch item or an observation from the checklist, so the problem becomes work with someone on it. The checklist keeps the link.
Do checklists work on a phone?
Yes. ProjectAire runs in your phone’s browser and installs to the home screen. Fill in the checklist and take the photos on site.
What’s the difference between an observation and a punch item?
An observation is a note of what you saw: a hazard, a quality issue, something worth keeping on the record. If it needs fixing, turn it into a punch item, a task or an RFI.
Who can see checklists?
Your team. Checklists are internal and aren’t shown to clients. Observations let you choose who sees each one.
Can I see checklists across all my jobs?
Yes. The all-projects checklist list shows every checklist on every job, in progress or complete.
