Software could handle
Consistent capture, required-field prompts, status and ownership, reminders, version organisation and production of a reviewable close-out record.
One possible fixed-scope workflow · built around your process
Keep snags, photographs, fixes and sign-off in one usable record.
Bring the way your firm currently handles site photographs, snag ownership, status, evidence of completed fixes and close-out reports. A first build can organise the repeated administration without taking professional decisions away from your team.
The current workflow
Files arrive by email, message, folder and spreadsheet.
Someone chases contributors, checks names and versions, copies details, and restructures the pack before the close-out deadline. Late, incomplete or wrongly formatted inputs make the same work repeat.
Common failure points
- No single current version
- Missing ownership and unclear status
- Documents filed against the wrong job or area
- Review happens too late
- The client’s required format is rebuilt by hand
A bounded first build
Handle the repeatable administration. Keep judgement with people.
A person still decides
Inspecting work and approving whether a snag is complete. The software must not approve safety, contractual, technical, commercial or compliance decisions.
Example inputs
site photographs, snag ownership, status, evidence of completed fixes and close-out reports, existing checklists, folder rules and several recent examples.
Example outputs
A reviewable close-out record, exception lists, contributor status and a clear review step before issue.
Before and after
From repeated chasing to one controlled record.
Inbox + messages + folders

Human-reviewed output
A good fit
- The workflow repeats regularly
- Someone can demonstrate it
- Inputs and outputs are reasonably consistent
- A real user can review the result
- You will start with one bounded use case
Not a fit
- The process differs every time
- The core task is professional judgement
- No one owns the workflow
- A company-wide system is required before one use case is validated

Questions
Questions about this workflow
Is this an off-the-shelf product?
No. It is an example of a bounded workflow Delaney Works could build around your current process and real documents.
Can examples be redacted?
Yes. Remove personal, commercial or project-sensitive details while preserving the structure needed to understand the work.
Do we replace our existing systems?
Not necessarily. The first build should fit around useful existing tools wherever practical.
Show me this workflow as it runs today.
Bring one recent example, redacted if needed. No technical specification required.
