Punch List Generator

Field Deficiencies · Trade & Status Tracking · CSV / Print Export

Free-form, project-specific tracking: Log each deficiency you find during a walkthrough — description, location/room, responsible trade, priority, and status. Filter and sort the running list by trade or status, watch the completion percentage update live, and export to CSV or a print-friendly page for distribution to the project team.

Punch List Generator

A free-form, project-specific punch list tool for tracking field deficiencies through closeout. Add each item you find with a description, location, responsible trade, priority, and status — then filter and sort the running list by trade or status, watch a live completion percentage, and export to CSV or a print-friendly page to share with the project team.

How It Works

Log a punch item with a short description, the room or location where you found it, which trade or discipline is responsible (General, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Structural, Finishes, Fire Protection, Low Voltage/IT, or Sitework/Civil), a priority (Critical, High, Medium, Low), and a status (Open, In Progress, Resolved, Verified). Change status directly from the list as items get worked and re-inspected, and use the trade/status filters plus the sort control to focus a review meeting on exactly the subset that matters.

Completion Tracking & Priority

The completion percentage counts any item marked Resolved or Verified against the total list, giving an at-a-glance sense of closeout progress. A separate "Verified" status (distinct from "Resolved") lets a superintendent or owner's rep confirm a fix was actually re-inspected and accepted, rather than just marked done by the trade that performed the work — a distinction that matters for substantial completion and final closeout documentation. Critical items still open are called out separately since a long punch list can otherwise bury a life-safety or code item among dozens of minor cosmetic notes.

Distinct From a Fixed Inspection Checklist

This is a free-form list you build item by item as you walk a specific project — it starts empty and only contains what you actually find, unlike a fixed, pre-written inspection checklist that runs through a standard set of predetermined questions regardless of the project. Use this generator for the deficiencies unique to a given job (a scratched countertop in Rm 214, a missing damper label in Mech Rm 3); use a standards-based checklist tool when you need to verify compliance against a fixed code or standard.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the site's NEC Inspection Field Checklists?

The NEC Inspection Field Checklists are fixed, pre-written checklists — the same standard set of questions every time, based on NEC code requirements. This Punch List Generator is the opposite: an empty list you build item by item for one specific project, capturing whatever deficiencies you actually observe (in any trade, not just electrical), with no predetermined item set.

What is the difference between "Resolved" and "Verified" status?

"Resolved" typically means the responsible trade has completed the fix. "Verified" means someone else — a superintendent, owner's rep, or inspector — has gone back and confirmed the fix was done correctly. Using both statuses (rather than just "done") creates an accountability step before an item is truly closed out, which matters for substantial completion sign-off.

Can I track punch items for multiple trades on the same list?

Yes — every item carries its own trade/discipline field, so one punch list can span General, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, Structural, Finishes, Fire Protection, Low Voltage/IT, and Sitework/Civil items together. Use the trade filter to generate a trade-specific view (for example, only Electrical items) when coordinating with a single subcontractor.

Is my punch list saved if I close the browser tab?

This tool keeps the list in the browser tab only — it is not saved to an account or server. Export to CSV or use the print view before navigating away if you want to keep or share the list.
