In A201, what does a punch list refer to?

• A. A list of final items to be completed before final completion.
• B. A legal list of damages to be paid.
• C. A list of approved changes.
• D. A safety checklist required by the Owner.

Answer: (A)

A punch list in A201 is a list of tasks or items that remain to be completed or corrected to meet contract requirements before the project is finally completed. It’s created during the final inspection or closeout phase when the owner and architect identify work that isn’t yet satisfactory. The contractor uses this list to finish or fix those items, and once all are addressed, final completion and payment can proceed. It’s not a damages list, not a record of approved changes, and not a safety checklist.
