What the inspector wanted
The blocking they asked for, the fire caulk they checked, what to have ready before they show up.
Site access
Gate codes, where to park, which entrance the GC wants you to use, where the laydown area is.
Equipment quirks
The lift that won't drive on a slope, the generator that needs the choke even when it's warm.
Subs & suppliers
Who shows up on time, which supplier has the odd fitting, who to call for a pump truck on short notice.
Details that keep a schedule
What has to be done before drywall, the order that avoids a second trip, the long-lead items.
Lessons from the last job
What went wrong last time on a job like this one, and how it got fixed.
Ask it like you'd ask your super.
- Record on site from a phone's browser. Nothing to install.
- Each note is transcribed and filed under the equipment and the job site it's about.
- Scan the QR sticker on a lift, a generator or the job trailer door to see its notes or record a new one.
- Notes are tagged with the problem, cause, fix, parts and tools, plus code tips and inspector notes.
- Record in English or Spanish. Notes can be searched and answered in both.
- Anyone on the team searches in plain words or asks a question, and gets the answer from your notes along with the notes it used.
Elm St job
“Elm Street job, framing inspection on the third floor. The inspector wanted blocking behind every grab bar location in the units, not just the accessible ones, and fire caulk at every penetration through the corridor wall before they'd sign. Have photos ready, they asked for them. The gate code is on the trailer door.”
