Report readiness starts on site

A handover report is only as clean as the capture workflow behind it. SiteWarden keeps the final report fields alive from the first record.

  • Photos and floor-plan pins remain tied to the defect ID.
  • Trade, contractor, priority, and status fields travel with the item.
  • Admins spend less time matching photos to spreadsheet rows.

Give clients a clearer closeout record

The report output is designed to show what was recorded, who owned it, and what evidence supports the closeout trail.

  • Branded cover and detail pages support client review.
  • Outstanding items can be scanned by location and priority.
  • Evidence stays connected to each report item.
