Definition
A Punch List, frequently referred to as a "Snag List" in India, is a comprehensive inventory of minor defects, cosmetic flaws, or incomplete tasks discovered during the final inspection of a project (e.g., chipped paint, a missing door handle, a scratched tile). The contractor is contractually barred from receiving their final payment until every item on this list is "punched out" (rectified).
Practical Example
The PMC conducts a final walkthrough of a newly built apartment. They create a Snag List noting that the master bedroom door squeaks, the kitchen sink has a tiny leak, and the balcony railing lacks a final coat of paint. The contractor spends three days fixing these specific snags before the apartment is cleared for handover to the buyer.
Application in Superwise
Superwise features a dedicated digital Snagging module. During final walks, the PMC uses the mobile app to take photos of defects, drop pins on the exact layout floor plan, and assign the snag directly to the responsible subcontractor (e.g., the painting contractor). Subcontractors update the ticket with a repair photo once fixed, closing the loop instantly.
