Building handover software that keeps defect evidence under control.

Use SiteWarden to keep handover defects, contractor responsibility, and closeout evidence visible before client-facing reports are produced.

Building handover software

Built around the closeout record.

SiteWarden keeps construction defects connected to the evidence and people needed to close them before handover.

For project teams preparing practical completion, owner walkthroughs, handover packs, and final defect closeout conversations.

Keep each defect tied to its location, list, trade, status, and evidence.
Review missing evidence and outstanding work before practical completion pressure builds.
Give clients a clearer handover record instead of a rebuilt spreadsheet or photo dump.

Handover needs a record, not a scramble

The last mile of a project is where disconnected evidence becomes expensive. SiteWarden turns every defect into a record that can move from capture to report.

  • Track what is still open before the client sees the handover pack.
  • Keep trades and contractor names visible beside each defect.
  • Reduce the admin burden of assembling closeout evidence after the fact.

Built for practical completion language

The site is written for the way Australian teams talk about closeout: defects, defect lists, practical completion, handover, contractors, and reports.

  • Use defect-list terminology while still covering punch-list searches.
  • Support handover reporting with photos, locations, priority, and status.
  • Give teams a controlled record before unresolved work becomes a dispute.
