Construction Defects Management Software
Managing defect items through spreadsheets, emails, paper-based inspections, or disconnected systems often leads to missed items, duplicated work, delayed closeouts, and poor visibility across outstanding issues.
WeBuild’s Defects Management Software provides commercial contractors with a centralized solution for recording, assigning, tracking, and resolving defect items from field inspection through to final closeout.
Site teams can capture issues directly from the field, attach photos and supporting documentation, assign responsibility, monitor progress in real time, and maintain a complete historical record of every item.
Defects workflow in WeBuild
WeBuild structures the defect notices process into clear and manageable steps. This ensures that every defect notice is properly created, communicated, tracked, and closed once resolved.
