The start of of closing out of the project begins near the end of a project, when the contactor requests a final inspection of the work. Before completion of the project, various equipment, electrical systems, and mechanical systems must be ready for testing and approval by the construction manager.

To develop this punch list, the field inspection personnel must carefully review their daily inspector's log to note all work items which have been entered that require corrective actions. The punch list is generally a list of tasks, or a "to-do" items organized for the completion of a project.
