Do Not Do This
Do not “fix” a vague punch item by cutting, sealing, painting, or moving work until the expected result is clear.
Why This Matters
Rushed punch work can hide the original issue while creating finish damage, leaks, or missing documentation.
Verify against: project punch list, drawings/specs, QA/QC and owner/GC acceptance process, foreman direction.
