How Clayco Is Making “Zero Punchlists” a Reality with Autodesk

“Zero punchlists” isn’t a new concept to the construction industry, but Clayco believes they are one of the first companies to actually execute it.

Over the past three years, the general contractor has implemented (and trademarked) “Punch as You Build,” wherein issues on-site are addressed as soon as possible, and not at the end of a project.

“On a traditional job, there are 1,800 issues to close by substantial completion, and everybody’s stressed out,” says Jonathan Ward, Associate Director of Quality at Clayco. “The subs are all gone. The team’s working out of a truck. It’s a nightmare.”

With Punch as You Build, Clayco can create and address punchlists as they arise, and meet with specialty contractors to punch out each area by trade as they build. This has helped reduce stress, saved time and money, and significantly reduced issues at the end of a project.

By deploying Forms in Autodesk Construction Cloud across the entire company, Clayco has standardized the quality management process, enabled real-time issue resolution and ensured seamless project delivery.
