FinishLine

Pros: Ease of use and functionality. FinishLine provides an easy to track punchlist document that is easily understood by subcontractors and ensures items are tracked and completed.

Cons: Difficulty setting up although FinishLine's support team has always been easily accessible and quick to help.

Pros: Its a quick way to make a accurate detail list. nothing more should be said.

Cons: - Make highlights in the comment section and in the body of the e-mail - Sharing favorites. - Have to go back into an item to make a favorite. - Pre-program your job title/signature in the body of the e-mail.

Pros: Thus far, we are only using FinishLine for our pre-punch items list. It has probably been the most useful software we're using on a $40MM project. Punch items are easy to enter and they're easy to view for our sub-contractors. I especially like how we're able to break down many different reports using many different metrics - allowing my superiors immediate information as to what still needs to be done before completion - which lends to making me appear a lot smarter than I probably am!

Cons: I really can't think of anything I feel the software is missing.

Pros: Easy to use and navigate, dragging and dropping is easy

Cons: too many pop up windows when creating reports etc.

Pros: One singular list between subs, gc, owner, and tenant inspections

Cons: Interface between subs. Getting them to use it correctly.

Pros: The functionality and communication that this software allows is very beneficial.

Cons: $78

Pros: Very user friendly & easy to use. Even for the most seasoned non-tech savvy construction personnel.

Cons: Many different fields to fill in. Some items take longer than they should to fill in/complete.

Pros: It is very easy to use and extremely relevant and helpful.

Cons: The initial set up was done by the Finish Line team and any subsequent changes also had to go through them, so I do not have a full understanding on how to use the software.

Pros: It’s ease of use is the best part of this product. Every aspect of it is user friendly.

Cons: I’m still early in my amount of usage of the software, but I think I may want the browser version and the application version to be more similar. Too early to tell.

Pros: Taking pictures and placing punch items in the floor plan for the contractor.

Cons: Camera stops working every 20th punch or so. Really slows me down in the field as the only fix I can come up with is restarting the program. I've brought this issue up with Finishline and haven't seen it resolved. The lists can also be time consuming to run through to pick a punch item.

Pros: Easy to upload and make large field reports quickly, once you know your way around.

Cons: It can be a bit cumbersome to find your way around the software on your first time, especially when you get into trying to customize a report. Allot of options but not always intuitive

Pros: Convenient way to go into these finished units and get a punch list to the construction team! Marking the star in the right area of the page was most important and then the picture could specify what was the problem in that area! This way my supervisors as well as the construction contractors can see all the issues and record when they were fixed! Covering all of us!

Cons: Something that could be improved upon is making multiple segments under one area. For example living room wall, may have different issues, it would help if we could make one star for that wall, then specify and record how many exact problems there are with out having to physically put in 10 stars on that one wall. This is another way that could organize the system to make it easier!

Pros: The ability and ease of creating a report is amazing.

Cons: every once and a while the program will have a glitch and shut down. I will loose only the data that I am putting in at that time. But it is annoying.

Pros: Copy mode and ability to copy items from one unit to another. Ability to detail exactly what and where the item is. Number and detail of filters that can be used. Ability to easily change any part of an item when inputting. Autofill of subcontractors for certain item types. Ability to draw on photos and easily upload photos from gallery.

Cons: $79

Pros: The means of ease and tracking open items.

Cons: There is nothing that I did not like about the software.

Pros: It is a great way to keep punch list organized for a large project. Once the setup is complete with the subcontractors, it is very easy for everyone to use.

Cons: Initial setup for administrator and subcontractors can be challenging. The good thing is the support staff is very quick to help resolve ay issues the team is having.

Pros: The software is functional, easy to use, and offers great reporting. The thing i like most would have to be the customer service though, its by far the best i've experienced.

Cons: There was a slight learning curve with the updates, but overall I do not have anything I truly dislike about the product.

Pros: This software allows you to create unparalleled reports regarding the information put in.

Cons: Speed would be one the biggest cons, even when on Desktop at times is slow.

Pros: I like the Fact that in a mater of minuets I can usually get the support I need to resolve an issue I may be having.

Cons: The cost to set up multiple trade drawings in the system.

Pros: I like that the Finishline Team is easily accessible. With one phone call I can be talking to a team member and they are making updates/changes in real time. That's efficiency.

Cons: I sometimes notice that when items are "checked off" they still remain on the floor plans. Even if I was the creator of an item and checked it as approved it still showed up post syncing. I would therefore just delete it but that punchlist item is gone now and never existed. We don't want to try and hide anything from the owners and architects.

Pros: Support team was very responsive. Program was straight forward.

Cons: It would help if photos were larger on reports. Video tutorials for Architects / Owners would also be helpful.

Pros: The options within the report function allow the general contractor to manage a punchlist efficiently and make sure all items are taken care of as needed by each subcontractor.

Cons: The front end set up of FinishLine can be intimidating if the user has not done it before. Additionally, new users are often intimidated by having to scroll through multiple menus to create a single punch. I don't know that this can be solved because the menus at each punch are necessary to create the data behind the punch to sort the items.

Pros: Tons of options great customer support

Cons: cumbersome to use. Reports overwhelming when printing
