Contractor defect assignment software that keeps builders in control.

SiteWarden gives contractors the fix context they need while the project team keeps ownership, verification, and report readiness under control.

Contractor defect assignment software

Built around the closeout record.

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

For builders, PMs, supervisors, quality teams, and admins who need clearer contractor rectification before practical completion and handover.

Assign each defect with location, trade, priority, photos, notes, and contractor ownership.
Keep contractor proof tied to the original defect record for later review.
Verify completion before the defect becomes report-ready.

Assignment should not live in a message thread

A contractor needs more than a photo and a vague instruction. SiteWarden keeps the repair context structured enough to action and review.

  • Contractors see the issue, location, trade context, priority, and evidence.
  • Builders keep the core defect record controlled.
  • Proof uploads and status updates stay attached to the item.

Make closeout accountable

Contractor assignment is useful only when the builder can see what is open, what is overdue, what has proof, and what still needs inspection.

  • Ownership is visible by contractor, trade, status, and priority.
  • Inspector review protects the final handover record.
  • Reports can include the same evidence used during rectification.
