FAQ
Questions contractors ask us
The basics
What software do general contractors use?
Most use a mix: a construction management platform for estimates and schedules, plus text and group chats for everything happening on site. PunchXero turns those messages into project records.
Does my crew need to install an app?
No. Text, iMessage, WhatsApp and voice memos work as they are.
Which languages are supported?
English and Spanish. Your records are in English, with the original kept alongside.
Can I keep my current tools?
Yes. Start with one job alongside what you use now.
Features
Can a contractor request a change order?
Yes, when scope, site conditions or the owner's choices change. Get it in writing and signed before the work starts. How PunchXero handles change orders
What is the best app for daily construction reports?
The one your crew will actually use. PunchXero builds the report from messages they already send. See daily reports
When should clients make selections?
Anything that changes the drawings before plans are final; finishes by their need-by dates. See selections
Can PunchXero estimate from my plans?
Yes. Upload a PDF plan set and get a draft estimate with every line traced to its sheet. See estimating
