Using QC Checklists for Inspections

Pre and Post inspection checklists tied to each trade.

Reason for revision: the published body describes behaviour the app does not have — marking items **Pass**, **Fail** or **N/A**, requiring or attaching photos on individual items, failed items creating "a punch list automatically", checklists becoming part of the bank packet, and a **Checklists** button inside a trade. The app records one state per item (checked or not), stores notes and photos per trade and PRE/POST, and never builds a punch list.

---

QC checklists are your own check of the work — before a trade starts, and after it finishes. They are your record, not a building inspection and not a code certification.

Each trade has two lists:

• **PRE** — confirm before work starts: right material on site, conditions ready, plans and drawing agreeing.
• **POST** — confirm after work is finished: workmanship, dimensions, anything about to be covered up.

Where to find them

**QC Checklists** in the navigation. The same lists also appear on a **Schedule** task, matched to the task title by trade name, and in **Library** as reading.

Recording your checks

1. Choose your project under **Select project to save & track progress**. Without a project selected, ticks are not saved.
2. Select a trade. Trades are grouped by build phase, in build order.
3. Tap the box beside each item to record it as checked. Tap again to un-check it.

There is no Pass / Fail / N/A — an item is checked or it is not. Nothing locks once ticked, and un-checked items do not create a punch list.

Notes and photos

With a project selected, each checklist has a notes area for **PRE** and one for **POST**: free text, **Performed by** from your account, and photo uploads. They are saved per project, per trade, per PRE/POST — one *Framing POST* note per project, so name the item in the text when it matters. Photos are optional: no photo is required to tick an item, finish a checklist, satisfy a payment gate or clear the draw warning. Individual items do not carry their own photo.

Badges

• **Critical** — expensive or unsafe to fix later.
• **Payment Gate** — complete before you bill that work on a draw request.
• **IRC** — a related code reference for your own reading, not a ruling.

What checklists do not do

They do not prove code compliance, replace your building department's inspections, appear in the Bank Ready packet, release a vendor payment or fund a draw. A draw request's pre-flight check can warn you about incomplete payment-gate items and ask you to acknowledge them; acknowledging simply lets you continue. Items you tick here count towards that check.

Progress

Each trade row shows how many items you have checked on the selected project, with green PRE and POST badges once each list is complete. Progress is stored against the project, so an item ticked from a Schedule task shows as checked here too.
