Construction deficiency list software

Deficiency lists are lists of discrepancies between what the contract documents call for and what the parties to the contract delivered. Deficiency lists come into play near the end of the project so people can fix them before the project's closeout. The items on deficiency lists usually include incorrect, missing or subpar work completed by contractors and subcontractors. For example, when a contractor installs items that do not match the project specifications, those items become deficiency list items. Or, when a specialty contractor installs floor tiles and gaps between those tiles exceed the specified size, that work can end up on a deficiency list. Deficiency list items arise from anything that doesn't comply with the contract documents.

It's common for every party in a construction project to use deficiency lists. The project deficiency list usually starts with the owner or the owner's design agents. General contractors and construction managers use the owner's deficiency list to make their own deficiency lists for the subcontractors who work with them. All types of contractors might use deficiency lists to manage quality as they work on their portions of the project. Deficiency lists are a powerful quality control tool because contractors usually must clear up the deficiency list items before they can get paid.

Procore's Deficiency List software helps contractors keep a descriptive, accurate and up-to-date list of work discrepancies. The software also provides tools to assign responsibility for correcting deficiency list items and due dates and tracking the status of active deficiency list items. Contractors can create deficiency list items directly in the field where the discrepancies occur. Users can sort deficiency list items by status and maintain a real-time history of actions related to each deficiency list item. Procore's deficiency list software makes managing deficiency list items quick, comprehensive and accurate.

A benefit of Procore's deficiency list software is that it can use a QR code to begin the process. This code, assigned to each deficiency list item, ensures every action related to the item is recorded and recorded accurately. Users can also drag and drop deficiency list items directly onto a digital drawing, removing doubts about the item's location. When users create deficiency list items, they can copy and paste from RFIs or specifications so the requirements for correcting the discrepancy are clear. They can also include photos and details about how the deficiency list item impacts cost and schedule.

The Procore Deficiency List tool follows industry standards for document creation, saving, editing and filing. Users can create templates to speed up the deficiency list process to reduce rekeying and errors.
