Construction Defect Management Software
Record, locate, assign and track construction defects with Site Audit & Plan. Pin defects directly onto site and floor plans, add photographic evidence, monitor outstanding issues and create professional reports.
Get Started
A Visual Construction Defect Management System
Construction defects can be difficult to manage when information is spread across spreadsheets, emails, photographs, drawings and paper documents. Site Audit & Plan brings defect information together into a single visual workflow.
Record each defect, place it on the relevant site or floor plan, add photographs and descriptions, assign responsibility and track the issue through to completion.
What Is Construction Defect Management Software?
Construction defect management software is used to record, organise, assign and track defects and outstanding issues found during construction projects.
Instead of managing defects through spreadsheets and email chains, a dedicated defect management system provides a structured record of each issue, including its location, description, photographic evidence, status and responsible party.
Site Audit & Plan adds visual defect tracking by allowing issues to be positioned directly on site plans and floor plans.
Manage Every Defect from Discovery to Resolution
Record Defects Clearly
Create a structured record for every construction defect, incomplete item, quality issue or observation found during an inspection.
Show Exactly Where the Defect Is
Pin defects directly onto PDF site plans and floor plans. Give contractors and project teams a precise visual reference for every issue.
Attach Photographic Evidence
Add photographs and descriptions to document the condition of the work and provide evidence for each defect.
Assign Responsibility
Make it clear which person, contractor or project team needs to address each outstanding issue.
Track Outstanding Defects
Monitor the status of issues and keep outstanding defects visible until the required action has been completed.
Create Defect Reports
Generate professional reports from your defect records and share them with clients, contractors, subcontractors and project stakeholders.
Why Use Digital Defect Tracking?
A construction project can generate hundreds or thousands of individual issues during inspections and handover. Without a consistent process, defects can be missed, duplicated or difficult to locate.
Digital defect tracking gives project teams a centralised way to record findings, attach evidence, assign actions and monitor progress.
By combining defect tracking with plan-based locations, Site Audit & Plan makes it easier to communicate exactly where each issue needs attention.

How Construction Defect Tracking Works
- Start an inspection. Open the relevant project and plan.
- Record the defect. Describe the issue and capture the relevant information.
- Pin the location. Place the defect directly on the site plan or floor plan.
- Add evidence. Attach photographs and supporting notes.
- Assign the action. Identify who is responsible for addressing the issue.
- Track progress. Monitor the defect until it has been resolved.
- Report. Generate a professional record of the defects and their status.

Construction Defects You Can Record
Use Site Audit & Plan to record a wide range of construction defects and outstanding items, including issues with workmanship, finishes, fixtures, fittings, doors, windows, flooring, walls, ceilings, electrical installations, plumbing and other building elements.
The app can also be used for general observations, quality issues, incomplete works, maintenance requirements and other findings identified during inspections.
From Defect Identification to Project Handover
Defect management does not end when an issue is reported. Construction teams need to know what has been identified, where it is located, who is responsible, whether action has been taken and which issues remain outstanding.
Site Audit & Plan provides a visual record that can support the defect management process throughout construction, quality assurance, inspections and handover.
