Punchlist before ceiling close not used

Treat punchlist as unfinished work, not criticism. Find the exact location, fix the cause, and verify it before calling it done.

Stop if

• Can you show me exactly what failed on this punch item so I fix the cause?

Watch out

• Do not mark punchlist complete because it looks better from the floor.

Check

• Read the punch item slowly.
• Find the exact room/grid/system.
• Identify whether it is workmanship, access, seal, support, label, damage, or coordination.
• Fix the cause, not just the visible symptom.
• Have the corrected item checked before moving on.
