Frequently Asked Questions
The formal punch list begins at substantial completion when the architect/engineer walks the project and identifies remaining deficiencies. However, best practice is to maintain a running punch list throughout construction to catch and correct issues early rather than accumulating them for closeout.
Items are classified as Critical (safety hazard or prevents occupancy), Major (functional deficiency that must be corrected before final completion), or Minor (cosmetic issues that can be scheduled for correction). This prioritization helps teams focus on the most impactful items first.
Yes. Each punch item is assigned to the responsible subcontractor or trade. The template provides a summary view grouped by responsible party so each sub receives a clear list of their required corrections with due dates.
