TaskTag vs CompanyCam: The Ultimate Pre-Job Readiness Checklist for Builders

Why photos alone won't cut it and how TaskTag turns proof into action.

If you’re using CompanyCam, you’re halfway there. It’s hands-down the best tool for jobsite photos: timestamped, geolocated, and crystal clear.

But let’s be real: a photo of a missing dumpster doesn’t get one delivered.

Why Jobsite Photos Alone Aren’t Enough for Readiness

What usually happens:

1. Your super snaps a photo of a missing porta-potty.
2. It uploads to CompanyCam.
3. You scramble—text the vendor, call the site lead, email the GC.
4. There’s no thread, no checklist, no accountability.

Result:

• Crews show up to a half-ready site.
• You waste hours chasing updates.
• No one knows who dropped the ball.

CompanyCam proves what’s wrong.
TaskTag ensures it gets fixed.

How TaskTag’s Pre-Job Readiness Workflow Keeps Your Site on Track

Here’s how TaskTag turns photos into a real workflow:

1. Create a Task: ✅ Pre-Job Readiness – Elm Street Apartments

2. Add Checklist Items:

• • Permits posted
  • Dumpster delivered
  • Porta-potty placed
  • Site access cleared

3. Assign a Field Lead: With a due date, so there’s no guessing.

4. Attach Photos to Items: Proof isn’t buried in a feed—it’s attached to the actual task.

5. Track Completion: Everyone sees when it’s done, who did it, and what’s still open.
