A punch list is the list of work that isn't finished or isn't right near the end of a job. You walk the project room by room, write down each item and where it is, assign it to the trade that owns it, and close it only after you've checked the fix. This template comes as a printable PDF with 27 lines and an Excel version with 75 lines that tracks Open, Ready and Closed for you.
The list of unfinished or incorrect work found near the end of a job. Each item gets a location, a trade and a due date, and it stays open until someone checks the fix.
The builder or GC usually walks the job with the owner, the architect or the owner's rep and writes the list. Each trade then gets the items assigned to it.
Near substantial completion, and on bigger jobs area by area as each one finishes, so the trades are still on site to fix things.
Ready means the trade says the item is fixed. Closed means you checked it yourself. Initial and date both.
Yes. Each item has an Open, Ready or Closed dropdown, and the sheet counts how many items are in each. It opens in Google Sheets too.
With myBivy, punch items carry their photos and go to the trade that owns the fix. Trades work their punch list free with myBivy for Trades.
