punch lists
Final repair checklist
A punch list is a document listing minor tasks remaining before a construction or renovation project is complete—small defects, unfinished details, or corrections needed before final approval and payment.
The term comes from the historical practice of punching holes in the list as items were completed.
The contractor addressed everything on the punch list before the final walkthrough.
