The possibilities for utilizing mobile technologies for the building industry are still wide open. From connecting to CRM from the job site to submitting billing and access to inventory, many builders, from project managers to subs, are using their mobiles more and more to work from the field.  

Anyone in the industry is familiar with a punch list and many software options exist on the market that help builders enter information easily. But, are there options for using your smart phone or mobile device to access files, enter information and complete your punch list?

Chris Thorman at Software Advice thinks there's a better way and has developed a wish list for the ideal iPhone app for builders. From his blog post where he lays out the app's features:

Imagine you’re a general contractor and you’re entering the punch list phase of a construction project. Instead of lugging building plans, compliance codes, pads of paper or even a large tablet PC to the job site to record information, you’re able to slip an iPhone with a punch list app into your pocket.

Beats scribbling notes on drywall!
