Initial and Supplemental Punch Lists Clause Samples
The "Initial and Supplemental Punch Lists" clause defines the process for identifying and documenting incomplete or deficient work near the end of a construction project. Typically, an initial punch list is created after substantial completion, listing items that need correction or finishing, while supplemental punch lists may be generated as additional issues are discovered during final inspections. This clause ensures that all outstanding tasks are clearly identified and addressed before final acceptance, thereby promoting project quality and minimizing disputes over incomplete work.

Initial and Supplemental Punch Lists. Upon receipt of the Construction Manager's notice, and before Owner occupancy, the Architect shall prepare a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected. Such a list is referred to as the "Initial Punch List." The “Initial Punch List" is defined as the list of items of required work that, as a minimum, are to be accomplished for the Construction Manager to achieve Final Completion of the Project. At its discretion, the Owner may choose to have the Architect review the Initial Punch List and issue one or more Supplemental Punch Lists before that time, but such should not be expected from the Owner by the Construction Manager in lieu of the Construction Manager's or Trade Contractors' routine Work list. Supplemental Punch Lists are prepared by the Architect as a convenience for the Construction Manager. The issuance of a Supplemental Punch List by the Architect does not imply that any item of work not listed is not required. The Architect may add items to its Supplemental Punch Lists from time to time as any additional defects or omissions come to the attention of the Architect. The Construction Manager shall proceed promptly to complete and correct items on the Initial Punch List and all Supplemental Punch Lists. Failure to include an item on any such list does not alter the responsibility of the Construction Manager to complete all work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Upon receipt of the Initial Punch List, or any Supplemental Punch List, the Architect will make an inspection to determine whether the Construction Manager has obtained Material Completion of the Project or designated portion thereof. If the Architect inspection, or observations by the Architect, discloses any item, whether or not included on the Initial Punch List or applicable Supplemental Punch List, which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contact Documents, the Construction Manager shall, before issuance of any Certificate of Material Completion, complete or correct all items on the Initial Punch List and any applicable Supplemental Punch List so that the Project is substantially complete and only minor and incidental items remain to be completed or corrected. The Construction Manager shall then submit a request for another inspection by the Architect, the Owner and the Architect to determine Final Completion.
