Final Punch List:

A final punch list is a comprehensive list of outstanding items, deficiencies, or incomplete work that must be addressed by the contractor before the construction project can be considered substantially complete. The punch list is typically prepared by the owner or their representative during a final walk-through or inspection of the project, and is provided to the contractor for review and action. The items on the punch list may range from minor cosmetic issues to more significant functional or safety concerns, and may include repairs, replacements, cleaning, or documentation. The purpose of the final punch list is to ensure that the project is finished to the owner’s satisfaction and meets all contractual and regulatory requirements before final payment and closeout. The contractor is responsible for completing all items on the punch list within a specified timeframe, and for obtaining the owner’s approval and sign-off on the completed work. The final punch list is an important milestone in the construction process and helps to ensure a smooth and successful project completion.
