Jobsite Photo Documentation App for Contractors & Field Service

The problem: photos scattered across phones, long text threads, and late-night report building. Approvals stall, punch lingers, and disputes drag on because evidence is hard to find.

The solution: WorkFotos organizes jobsite pictures at capture—by job, address, area, trade, system, and status—with GPS, timestamps, and on-image annotations. Publish daily reports, punch lists, inspections, and closeout PDFs in minutes, not hours. Built for contractors, subs, and field service pros.

The Pain on Real Jobsites

1) Photo chaos = slow decisions

Pictures sit in camera rolls and group chats. By the time they’re labeled, the crew has moved on and context is gone.

  • “Which level was this?”
  • “Who took it and when?”
  • “Where’s the after-photo?”

2) Nightly admin grinds teams down

PMs and supers piece together daily reports from memory. Attachments break, links get lost, and reviewers skim.

3) Disputes & rework drain profit

Without organized proof, punch drags, RFIs bounce around, and change orders become arguments.

WorkFotos: From Chaos to Organized Proof

Capture with context

Open the job by address, choose the area/zone (Level, Room, Elevation), and snap. Every image gets GPS, timestamp, and author—no manual sorting later.

Annotate what matters

Draw on photos to highlight measurements, defects, IDs, serials, readings. Add tags like punch, inspection, QAQC, change-order.

Publish in minutes

Create daily reports, punch lists, inspection PDFs, and closeout packages. Share a read-only link or export a clean, branded PDF.

Problem → Solution: Common Scenarios

Problem: Daily reports take all night

Photos and notes live in too many places, so reports get built at midnight and reviewers ignore them.

Solution: Auto-organized daily reports

  • Capture by area with captions while details are fresh.
  • Annotations show exactly what changed or needs attention.
  • Export a daily construction report PDF or share a live link in minutes.

Problem: Punch and QA/QC never end

Lists live in spreadsheets; proof is scattered; sign-off is subjective and slow.

Solution: Photo-driven punch

  • Create items straight from photos; assign subs; set due dates.
  • Require an after-photo to move status to Done.
  • Export room-by-room or trade-by-trade for walks.

Problem: RFIs & change orders stall

Approvers can’t see site conditions; scope debates drag into email threads.

Solution: Visual evidence for decisions

  • Annotated photos in RFIs clarify existing conditions.
  • Change orders link to before/during/after sets and quantities.
  • Approvals speed up because everyone sees the same facts.

Problem: Closeout takes weeks

Hunting through drives and chats for “before cover” shots and equipment IDs wastes time.

Solution: As-builts as you go

  • Capture concealed conditions during install, not after.
  • Log serials/settings; attach O&M PDFs.
  • Turnover packages export in hours, not weeks.

How It Works in the Field

1
Create job by address and define zones (e.g., L02 — East Wing, Roof — South Slope).
2
Capture before/during/after with automatic timestamps & GPS; add quick captions.
3
Annotate & tag by trade/system/status; turn photos into punch/tasks with due dates.
4
Publish live links or PDFs grouped by date, area, checklist, or division/spec.
5
Search later by area, trade, asset, tag, or time window—answers in seconds.

No signal? Capture offline and sync later—context stays attached to every image.

Make Safety & Inspections Stick

  • Photo-backed safety inspections and JSAs.
  • Pass/fail checklists, readings, and signatures (optional).
  • PDFs for AHJs, consultants, and owner review.

Connect Proof to Payment

  • Attach photo evidence to estimates, work orders, and invoices.
  • Support progress billing, T&M, and change orders with timelines.
  • Fewer questions, faster pay.

Stop the Photo Chaos. Start Sharing Proof.

Capture with context, annotate what matters, and publish reports that move work forward—today.

FAQ: Problems We Solve

How is this different from plain photo storage?
WorkFotos captures job, area, trade, tags, timestamps, GPS, and annotations—so your photos turn into daily reports, punch, inspections, and closeout PDFs without extra work.
Do reviewers need accounts to see photos?
No. Send a read-only link filtered by date or area, or export a clean, branded PDF grouped the way reviewers expect.
What about offline jobsites?
Capture offline and sync later. All context stays attached to each image so reports still read clearly.
Can we use photos for RFIs, T&M, and change orders?
Yes. Annotated before/during/after sets support decisions and approvals with less back-and-forth.
Does it replace punch spreadsheets?
You can create punch items directly from photos, assign subs, set due dates, require after-proof, and export walk-ready lists.
