Every construction job has two tracks.
If your team is juggling job walks, procurement, inspections, and subs — you know the smallest missed detail can become the biggest delay.
That’s why this week, we’re spotlighting a simple but powerful tool inside TaskTag: the Project Checklist.
It’s fast, flexible, and smart enough to turn your game plan into trackable tasks. Let’s break it down.
What Is a Construction Project Checklist in TaskTag?
A Project Checklist is a dedicated checklist inside each project. Think of it as your project-specific playbook — whether you're prepping for kickoff or wrapping up punch.
There are two ways to use it:
1. Create Manually
Build a checklist from scratch based on what your team needs.
Example:
[ ] Order tile samples
[ ] Confirm permit pickup
[ ] Walk jobsite with client
2. Use Templates
Pull from your list of saved checklist templates — great for repeatable workflows like:
- Preconstruction setup
- Site safety walkthrough
- Closeout handoff checklist
📌 Bonus: You can convert checklist items into full tasks — assign them with a due date, duration, and owner.
