Automated Buildertrend Punch List Follow-Up Tracker

Every morning, WebRun opens Buildertrend, finds all open punch list items on excavation projects that are at or near the completion stage, and logs each unresolved item to an Airtable base with the responsible party and age so your team can close them out and unlock final payments.

In short

How do I track and close open punch list items on excavation projects?

WebRun opens Buildertrend every morning, finds every open punch list item on excavation projects that are at or near completion, and logs each unresolved item to Airtable with the responsible party and days outstanding. Your team works from the Airtable list to close items and unlock final payments without chasing status manually.

  • Open punch list items are visible every morning across all near-complete jobs
  • Projects close out faster as unresolved items are tracked to completion
  • Final payments are not held up by forgotten or untracked punch list items

Built for excavation contractors · construction project managers · site supervisors · general contractors

Questions, answered

Will it notify the client that punch list items are outstanding?

No. WebRun only logs the open items to Airtable for your internal team to action. Any client communication about punch list status is drafted separately and requires your approval.

How does it know a project is near completion?

It looks for projects where the schedule milestone is set to Completion or Closeout in Buildertrend, or where overall schedule progress is above a threshold you set during setup.

What happens when all punch list items are closed?

Once all items for a project are marked complete in Buildertrend, the project no longer appears in the Airtable list, giving your team a clean signal that the job is ready to invoice.

Put this on autopilot.
