A vacant unit costs money every day it sits. FixGrid turns the make-ready from a clipboard and a group text into a guided punch a tech actually finishes on-site — so the next resident gets keys when you promised.
FixGrid Make-Ready tracks every unit turn from notice-to-vacate through move-out, the turn, QA, and move-in — with a room-by-room turn punch, staff and vendor task assignment, a Turn Board that flags overdue and unscheduled turn tasks, and Unit Status with days-vacant chips on every unit.
This is the turn punch your techs use in the app today, shown on a phone. Make-ready tasking, the Turn Board and Unit Status are live too.
FixGrid runs a turn in four steps: move-out inspection, turn punch, QA and move-in inspection. The turn punch goes room by room: the tech clears what is fine with one "I walked this room" sweep and flags the rest as fixed on-site or needing follow-up. A unit shows Vacant Ready only after QA, with no QA follow-up left open. Property, unit and common-area walks outside the turn run in Inspections. A newly built or renovated unit is walked first in Unit Acceptance, which hands it to operations.
The old turn sheet is eighty-odd dropdowns set one at a time — so techs rush it and the data lies. FixGrid flips it: clear the ninety percent that's fine with one honest "I walked this room" sweep, and save the flag, the note, and the photo for what actually needs work.
Mark an item "needs follow-up" and FixGrid opens a service ticket bound to this turn — not a generic unit ticket that drifts. On Professional, parts logged on the turn roll up to its cost. The punch is saved to the turn's record. The vacancy stays visible until it's truly ready.
The tech finishing the walk doesn't flip the unit to leasable. That's a deliberate line. The punch documents what was found and done on-site; the make-ready status is the manager's call, on a record they can actually trust because it shows how every item was cleared.
A vacant unit that nobody is looking at is the most expensive thing a property owns. Unit Status shows every unit's state with a days chip on the row — days vacant, days to a move-out, days a move-in has waited — so the one that's slipping is the one you see first. The Turn Board lays every turn task on a calendar and timeline, with overdue and unscheduled work flagged.
A 30-minute walkthrough30-minute call on your own portfolio. Run a real turn punch, watch a follow-up bind to the turn, and follow a unit to Vacant Ready.
