Capture the walk at walking speed.
The supervisor sees every defect first and has the least time to write them up. SiteWarden turns photos and spoken notes into structured records on the spot, so the walk does not come with an evening of admin.
The way it usually goes
- A two-hour walk produces a camera roll and a pocket full of notes that still have to become a defect list.
- Half the photos lose their meaning by the office: which room, which trade, which priority.
- Trades on site need answers now, not after the spreadsheet is updated tonight.
Voice notes become defect records
Speak the defect as you see it. AI-assisted capture fills location, element, issue, trade, and priority, and you review it before it goes anywhere.
Context captured where you stand
Photos, floor-plan pins, and details attach to the record at the moment of capture, so nothing needs matching up later.
The list is done when the walk is done
Defects land in the right list with status and ownership already set, ready for the office to review and assign.

Defect closeout FAQs
How fast is defect capture in the field app?
A defect is a photo and a spoken note. AI-assisted capture prepares the structured fields, and the supervisor reviews the record before it is assigned.
Do site supervisors need the desktop workspace?
No. The field app covers capture, list triage, and report setup on site. The desktop workspace is there when the office wants the review layer.
Can supervisors pin defects on floor plans?
Yes. Defects can carry floor-plan pins alongside photos and location fields, so the trade can find the exact spot.
