What is typically included in a punch list submitted by the Contractor?

A punch list is an essential document in the construction process that outlines specific tasks that need to be completed before a project can be considered finished and before the final payment is made to the contractor. It typically includes items that do not conform to the contract agreement, incomplete work, or tasks that were missed during construction. By creating a punch list, the contractor and owner ensure that all aspects of the project meet the necessary standards and contractual obligations.

Including items to be completed before final payment is crucial, as it establishes a clear expectation of what remains outstanding and allows the contractor to address these items in a timely manner. This process also helps facilitate a smooth transition to project completion and handover.
