One controlled record per defect
Every item keeps its photos, location, trade, contractor, priority, status, and verification together, so the closeout position is always current.
Back to homepageFor builders
Hand over with a record you can stand behind.
The builder carries the handover risk: the client walk, the practical completion sign-off, and every defect that resurfaces during the liability period. SiteWarden keeps that whole record under your control, from the first site walk to the final report.
The way it usually goes
- Defects surface in walks, client emails, and trade messages, and someone has to keep the master list honest.
- Contractors say work is done, but the proof is a text message, if it exists at all.
- The handover pack gets rebuilt from photo folders and spreadsheets in the most expensive week of the project.
Contractor accountability with evidence
Assigned trades see their work and upload completion proof against the original defect. Verification stays with your team before anything closes.
A handover report that generates itself
The client-ready PDF is produced from the same reviewed records, with IDs, photos, statuses, and owners, instead of being rebuilt by hand.
Evidence that outlasts the project
When an item resurfaces during the defect liability period, the original capture, assignment, proof, and verification are still on the record.

- 2
Assign and track
Send each defect to the responsible contractor and watch open, in-progress, and resolved counts by list, trade, and priority.

Verify and report
Check completion evidence, close verified items, and generate the branded handover report from the same records.
Defect closeout FAQs
How does SiteWarden help builders at practical completion?
It keeps the practical completion defect list, contractor rectification, verification, and the handover report on one record, so the builder always knows what is open and what is proven closed.
Can builders control what contractors see?
Yes. Contractors work around their assigned defects and provide activity and completion evidence without full project visibility. Verification stays with the builder.
Does the record help after handover?
Yes. Defect liability period items can be raised against the same project, and every closed item keeps its capture evidence, assignment history, proof, and verification.
