In short

How do I get reminded to inspect Level 5 drywall before painting?

Every morning, WebRun checks The EDGE for drywall areas specified to Level 5 that are entering finish, compares the completion window to the painter start date on Google Calendar, and posts a Slack reminder with an inspection checklist. Jobs with the nearest coating date sit first, so no Level 5 wall is covered before it is signed off.

  • No Level 5 wall gets painted before a finish sign-off
  • Inspection reminders land with time to fix defects, not after
  • The finish checklist reaches the whole crew in one Slack post

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it schedule the inspection on its own?

No. WebRun posts a reminder and checklist to Slack that a Level 5 sign-off is due. Your team books and performs the inspection. It never marks a wall approved or moves a painter start date without a person deciding.

How does it know which areas need Level 5?

It reads the finish level specified per area in The EDGE and flags the ones set to Level 5. If a spec is missing, it lists the area anyway so your team can confirm the required level.

Why tie the reminder to the painter start date?

Because a Level 5 finish has to be inspected under proper lighting before coating hides defects. WebRun compares the finish window to the painter start on your calendar, so the reminder lands with enough time to correct issues.

Put this on autopilot.
