WalkPunch Upgrades AI Punch List Drafts and Shows Send Status for Subcontractor Packets

WalkPunch, punch list software from Archieboy Holdings, LLC of Marlborough, Massachusetts, has upgraded the artificial intelligence that turns narrated job-site walkthroughs into punch list items. It has also changed how trade packets are sent to subcontractors: the software now shows which packets went through and which need a second look. The changes apply to the software at https://www.walkpunch.com, which turns a contractor's recorded walkthrough video into an editable punch list sorted by trade, with priorities and a suggested work sequence. Lists can be exported as PDFs and, on paid plans, emailed to subcontractors by trade with evidence frames taken from the video.

Punch lists are the final inventory of defects and unfinished work on a construction project. A single list often involves several trades at once. A plumber may need to fix a dripping supply line, a tile setter may need to re-grout a cracked shower threshold, and a painter may need to touch up a scuffed corner. Each of those subcontractors needs only their own items, in a usable format.

Building that list is often manual work. Someone walks the site, writes notes, moves them into a spreadsheet, sorts them by trade and then sends a round of emails. WalkPunch's site puts that old workflow at three to four hours per walkthrough, against about 20 minutes for its upload, review and send process. The tool is built for contractors, builders, superintendents and project managers.

The workflow starts with a recording. A contractor walks the job site and narrates naturally, naming rooms, describing issues and mentioning urgency, with no special format required. The video is uploaded as an MP4, MOV or M4V file of up to 512 MB; the company says anything recorded on an iPhone or Android phone works. WalkPunch then generates a transcript, extracts individual issues, classifies each by trade, infers the room, tags a priority and sorts items into a suggested work sequence. According to the company, processing usually takes five to ten minutes for a 30-minute walkthrough, and longer videos may take a bit more. WalkPunch emails the contractor when the list is ready to review.

The AI upgrade, announced on the WalkPunch site on September 24, 2026, improves the step that turns walkthrough narration into punch items; the company describes the result as sharper, better-organized lists. Output is shown as an editable draft. On paid plans and one-time walkthroughs, each item carries an evidence frame captured from the video at the moment the issue was described. A sample item on the WalkPunch site reads: Plumbing, high priority, Kitchen, repair supply line behind cabinet, with an evidence frame at 2:14 and the quoted narration. WalkPunch states that the AI works from the contractor's narration and that the contractor reviews and verifies every item before use. Nothing is sent to a subcontractor without the contractor's sign-off.

The sending change, announced on September 8, 2026, applies when a contractor emails consolidated trade packets to subcontractors. WalkPunch now reports, packet by packet, which ones went through and which need a second look, so the contractor can check the uncertain ones before deciding whether to send again. It works alongside the product's vendor contact management and secure completion links, through which each subcontractor can view their assigned items and report the work complete. Subcontractors do not need a WalkPunch account or a login.

WalkPunch starts from spoken narration and video, so the person walking the site does not have to type in the field. The output is organized for the recipient, with items grouped by trade, sequenced, and backed by evidence frames on paid output, so each subcontractor sees their own scope.

"A punch list only helps if the right sub gets the right items. Now a contractor can see which packets went out and which didn't, instead of guessing," said Bo Bennett, WalkPunch.

WalkPunch offers several ways to buy. The Free plan costs $0 and includes one active project, one lifetime AI walkthrough, basic trade classification and watermarked PDF export, but no email delivery to subcontractors and no evidence frames. The Starter plan costs $29 a month, or $290 a year, and covers 10 active projects, five AI walkthroughs a month, private evidence frames, trade-grouped PDF export and batch email delivery to subcontractors. Pro costs $79 a month, or $790 a year, for 100 active projects and 25 walkthroughs a month, and Business costs $199 a month, or $1,990 a year, for 250 active projects and 100 walkthroughs a month. Both include priority support. Contractors who need only one job can buy a single full-featured walkthrough for $39, with no subscription. Details are at https://www.walkpunch.com/pricing.

WalkPunch describes its product in three steps: record, AI processing, and review and send. The AI upgrade applies to the second step and the sending change to the third. The site's stated principle is that the contractor, not the AI, makes the final call on what goes out.
