Latest Lists

Can someone please tell me where to find a good template for a construction punch list? Please help!?

I am getting my punch list ready for my contractor (he is finished) but left huge amounts of flaws! (see my previous post to see regarding this nightmare) Also is it ok to state a time frame? He said he'd have to "fit it" in on evenings & weekends. It is only a large bathroom with primarily drywall defects..I was going to say 30 days between the hours of 8-4. I am with holding his final check until this is done. ANY input is greatly appreciated.

1. Use a piece of scratch paper for each trade and different color tape. Pass them out and do a walk around. You have to decide the percentage of completion and have a check to pay accordingly but hold out for the work that need fixing. Period.
2. Be sure to put it all in writing, sign and date it. State exactly what you want done, any verbal agreement etc. For example - Mr Smith thanks for meeting with me on ...... we agreed that you would repair the items as listed (attached) ....... etc. I agree to pay you the balance when you completed the list as we agreed. You did not mention if there was a contract This way he knows what you want, when, where, how etc.
