Punch List
Also called: Deficiency List, Snag List
A list of work items that need to be completed or corrected before a construction project is considered substantially complete. Punch lists are generated during final inspections and tracked through completion.
Why It Matters in Construction
Punch list closeout directly affects final payment and project turnover. Digital punch list tools with photo documentation, assignment tracking, and completion verification accelerate closeout.
Common Examples
- An inspector creates punch list items with photos and assigns them to responsible subcontractors.
- Subcontractors mark items complete with photo evidence from mobile devices.
- The system tracks completion percentage and generates closeout documentation.
