What it doesMobile field reporting and punch list app for architects and engineers (now under Deltek Delivery Assurance). Capture photos, annotate drawings, log observations and weather, complete punch lists and checklists pinned to plans, assign deficiencies to contractors for photo/comment closeout, and generate company-branded PDF site reports in one click. Integrates with Deltek Vantagepoint and Ajera for project/client data. Vendor says more than 10,000 AEC professionals use it and cites 45 minutes saved per site report (vendor claims). Product page AI mentions point to other Deltek products (e.g. Dela AI Orchestrator), not ArchiSnapper itself, so we tag it Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the product page now offers a free 14-day trial, lists cloned forms and predefined answers for walkthroughs, and says the app runs on Android and iOS with web access; the FAQ re-confirms the Vantagepoint and Ajera integration. AI on the page still refers to other Deltek products, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: product page unchanged in substance (free 14-day trial, cloned forms and predefined answers, Android, iOS and web, Vantagepoint and Ajera integration); AI on the page still refers to other Deltek products, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: Deltek still positions ArchiSnapper as a mobile field reporting and punch list app for A&E firms of any size, with Android/iOS capture, cloned forms and predefined answers, one-click branded PDF reports and two-way task assignment. No AI described. Re-checked Oct 25, 2026: the Deltek product page is unchanged in substance (mobile field reporting and punch list app for A&E firms of any size; photos, drawing annotation, punch lists and checklists pinned to plans, one-click company-branded PDF reports; free 14-day trial). AI on the page still refers to other Deltek products, so the tag stays. The user count is a vendor claim and not used. Re-checked Oct 27, 2026 (also read for a compare): the Deltek product page is unchanged in substance (mobile field reporting and punch list app for A&E firms of any size; photos, drawing annotation, observations and weather; punch lists and checklists pinned to plans; one-click company-branded PDF reports; two-way task assignment; Android, iOS and web; Vantagepoint and Ajera integration). AI on the page still refers to other Deltek products, so the tag stays. The user count and minutes-saved figure are vendor claims and not used.Construction quality-management platform for inspections, ITPs, NCRs, punch lists, handover packs and defect liability workflows. It is built around inspections, ITPs/ITCs with hold and witness points, issues/NCRs, punch lists and snagging, project completion/handover packs, and post-completion defect liability workflows. Homepage and punch-list product pages describe mobile capture with photos and locations (online or offline), multi-reviewer sign-off, lot/zone closeout, revision control that updates linked inspections when drawings change, and a handover pack that builds from signed inspections and certificates as work happens. Vendor customer quotes cite defect-cost cuts and preventing a wrong concrete pour (customer claims, not verified). The pages we read do not describe generative AI, so we tag it Not AI-first. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the homepage now frames the platform in four stages: pre-construction (risk registers, ITP and ITC templates mapped to hold and witness points, milestones built once and pushed to every project), construction, project completion and maintenance and warranty. It adds suppliers logging factory checks on precast or switchgear before delivery as a named role, and lists data centres, healthcare, residential, commercial and infrastructure. It still describes no AI, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026 (homepage read through a fetch service; direct curl and headless Chrome returned an empty 202 response): unchanged in substance (pre-construction, construction, project completion and maintenance and warranty stages; ITP and ITC templates mapped to hold and witness points; revision control; multi-reviewer sign-off; offline field use; a handover pack built as work is signed off). Still no AI described, so the tag stays. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: still covers pre-construction through construction, completion and maintenance/warranty, with inspection test plans, punch lists, commissioning, off-site supplier checks and post-completion defects linked back to the original inspection; the site now announces a Document Management feature. No AI is described on the pages read. Re-checked Oct 25, 2026 (read through a fetch service; direct requests returned an empty 202): homepage unchanged in substance (pre-construction, construction, project completion and maintenance and warranty stages; digital ITPs on or offline; revision control; multi-reviewer sign-off; a handover pack built as work is signed; post-completion defects linked to the original inspection). Still no AI described, so the tag stays. Customer quotes are vendor content and not used.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): ArchiSnapper lists mobile site capture (photos, drawing annotation, observations and weather), cloned forms and predefined answers, punch lists and checklists pinned to plans, one-click company-branded PDF reports and two-way task assignment to contractors. Visibuild lists inspections, ITPs and ITCs with hold and witness points, issues and NCRs, punch lists, revision control that updates linked inspections when drawings change, multi-reviewer sign-off and a handover pack built as work is signed off.
  • How the AI is used: neither page we read describes AI in the product. AI on the Deltek page refers to other Deltek products, and Visibuild's pages describe no AI. Both are tagged Not AI-first.
  • Field use and connections: ArchiSnapper runs on Android, iOS and web and integrates with Deltek Vantagepoint and Ajera. Visibuild describes online or offline mobile capture, supplier checks before delivery, and defects after completion linked back to the original inspection.
  • Who they name: ArchiSnapper names A&E firms of any size doing construction administration and site inspections. Visibuild names general contractors, trade partners, consultants, engineers and clients across data centres, healthcare, residential, commercial and infrastructure.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 27, 2026): neither publishes prices. ArchiSnapper offers a free 14-day trial; Visibuild routes to Book a demo. See each tool page for detail.
  • Not used here: ArchiSnapper's user count and minutes-saved figure, and Visibuild's customer quotes (vendor claims).
