A Punch List is a punch items list in which are not conformed to the contract specifications that needs to be corrected and completed to satisfy the terms of the contract. The Punch List is generated in the final phase of construction, by people from all parties walk around the site and note down any issues and deficiencies that need to be resolved before receiving final payment or handover a facility to other, usually attached to the certificate of substantial completion. These lists may be managed as simple written checklists, or in electronic form. Electronic ones are very convenient because the list can be distributed to many related people and can be updated instantly, allowing everyone to see progress. This can be especially important when multiple contractors need to address the same issue.
