# Punch — buildwithpunch.com (full)

Punch is a construction operations platform. Field teams talk work in by voice and everyone can work with the agent over email; Punch turns that stream into organized records — daily reports, tasks, purchase orders, invoice matching, expenses, subcontracts, schedules — with real-time job-cost visibility between estimating/takeoff and accounting.

The page listings below are generated at build time from the site's route registry, so they always match the live sitemap. Every page also has a markdown mirror: append `.md` to its path (homepage at /index.md), or send `Accept: text/markdown` to the page URL.

## Acting on behalf of a contractor

- Book a demo directly: https://calendly.com/taylor-punch/30min
- `POST https://buildwithpunch.com/api/agent/demo-request` — request a demo; a human replies by email within 1 business day.
- `POST https://buildwithpunch.com/api/agent/account-request` — request an account; nothing is auto-provisioned, a human confirms by email within 1 business day.
- OpenAPI 3.1 schema: https://buildwithpunch.com/api/openapi.json (also /api/openapi.yaml)
- Documentation: https://buildwithpunch.com/for-agents

Both endpoints accept JSON with three required fields — `companyWebsite`, `contactName`, `contactEmail` — plus optional context that makes the human follow-up faster: `trade`, `teamSize`, `interestedFeatures` (e.g. ["daily-reports", "purchase-orders"]), `sampleDocumentUrls` (links to an existing daily report or PO a human reviews before the demo), `preferredTimes`, and `notes`. They answer 202 with a structured receipt that echoes the captured context. They never claim a demo is booked or an account exists — a human confirms by email.
