Residential punch lists · First cohort by invitation

The punch list opens with a link.

Text each trade their items. They open a link with no account or app, and send back photos of finished work for you to check off.

Common problems

Where punch lists get stuck.

Three problems builders run into, and how each one works in Carbide List.

Entering items in the software takes longer than the walkthrough.

Take a photo and type what needs doing.

The app suggests the trade. Change it with one tap if it is wrong.

Trades won't create an account or download an app to see their list.

Text each trade a link to their items.

Tap Send on a project, pick the trade, and share the message. The link opens just that trade's items with photos.

It's hard to tell what is actually finished.

Crews mark items done with a photo. You verify them.

Nothing is complete until you verify it. Send it back with a reason if it needs more work.

How it works

Share the project, add the work, review completion.

Each project has role-based links, a shared list of work items, and a review step before an item is complete.

01 · Project access

Share a crew link and a homeowner link.

Each link opens one project with the permissions assigned to that role.

  • No guest account is required. The project opens in a web browser.
  • Each link is limited to one project and role. Crew and homeowners see only what their role allows.
  • A crew that works several of your projects can get one link. Create a Crew view in People to cover exactly those projects.
  • Replace a link to end access. The old link and its sessions stop working.
Crew Private crew link Example
Homeowner Private homeowner link Example

The link sets the role.

A crew link opens the Crew view. A homeowner link opens the Homeowner view. Replacing a link ends sessions created from the old link.

No guest account required.

02 · Work items

Add items during the walkthrough.

Add one item at a time, or take several photos and label the drafts later. Add the work note and trade when they are useful.

  • Bulk photos create draft items. Each photo becomes a separate draft that can be labeled before publishing.
  • Photo markup is separate. Circles and arrows do not alter the stored photo.
  • Assign the trade. Filter the project to see the work for each crew.

03 · Review

Crew submits. Builder verifies.

Crew members submit finished work with a note and photo. The Builder verifies it or sends it back with a reason. A homeowner can also say that an item needs more work, but cannot verify completion. Homeowner requests wait for Builder approval before the crew sees them.

  • Only the Builder verifies completion. Submission and verification are separate states.
  • Sending work back requires a reason. The reason remains attached to the item.
  • The finished photo stays with the item. The request and completed work can be reviewed together.

Questions

Common questions.

Can anyone sign up?

Not yet. We are setting up the first workspaces directly with a small group of residential builders. Use the invitation request to tell us about your work.

Do crew members need an account or app?

No. Crew members and homeowners open a project link in their browser. An account and app download are not required.

Can the app be used offline?

Yes. Items, notes, and photos queue on the device and sync when service returns. Conflicting edits are flagged instead of overwritten.

How does translation work?

The interface is written in English and Spanish. User-entered text is translated automatically. The source text remains available and is authoritative. The Builder is responsible for reviewing material instructions.

What can be exported?

The Builder can export one project at a time. Each export includes a readable English or Spanish PDF and a data package with the available history and stored photos.

How do builders sign in?

Builders sign in with Google or a secure email code. The workspace owner can invite other builders, and every builder sees the same projects. Crew members and homeowners never need an account.

Are there notifications?

A builder can turn on notifications for homeowner requests, work ready for review, blockers, and reopened work. A crew using a private crew link can turn on notifications for new work and work sent back. On iPhone, add Carbide List to the Home Screen first.

Does it do scheduling, estimating, or invoicing?

No. Carbide List handles the punch list and closeout record.

What happens when a paid plan ends?

Project access pauses. The workspace owner has 30 days to view and export the data. Active project data and photos are then deleted under the retention terms in the Privacy Policy.

Tell us how you run punch and which active project you want to start with.
