Quick answer

What is a construction punch list?

A construction punch list is a written record of incomplete, incorrect, or defective work identified near the end of a project that must be finished before the job is accepted. Each item typically notes the location, responsible trade, description of the issue, supporting photos, and current status, and is resolved by the contractor before final sign-off.

Frequently asked questions

What should be included on a construction punch list?

Each punch list item should include a location (room, floor, or area), the responsible trade, a short description of the defect or remaining work, at least one photo, a status (open, in progress, resolved), a due date, and the name of the person who recorded it.

Who creates the construction punch list?

The punch list is typically generated during a walkthrough by the general contractor, owner, architect, or project manager, often together. Subcontractors then resolve items assigned to their trade. On smaller jobs, a single contractor or site manager runs the walkthrough and assigns items directly.

How is a construction punch list different from a snag list?

They describe the same process. "Punch list" is the standard term in the United States and Canada, while "snag list" is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Both refer to outstanding defects and incomplete work captured before final handover.

What is the best punch list app for iPhone?

Punch List & Site Audit is a free iOS app purpose-built for construction punch lists. It captures photos, location, trade ownership, notes, and status for every item, works offline on site, and exports a branded PDF report — no subscription required.

Does the punch list need to be completed before project closeout?

Yes. Substantial completion is typically declared only once all punch list items are resolved or formally accepted. Final payment, occupancy, and warranty start dates are usually tied to punch list completion, which is why a clear photo-backed list speeds up closeout and reduces disputes.
