Punch List: Definition for Contractors

The list of small items to finish or fix before a job is considered complete and final payment is due.

What is punch list?

Punch List. The list of small items to finish or fix before a job is considered complete and final payment is due.

Why it matters to your pricing

An open punch list is cash you haven't collected. Close it out quickly — 'almost done' for months is a cash-flow problem.

This is a general educational definition, not financial or legal advice. Confirm anything regulated with your accountant or state board.
