What is the difference between a punch list and a commissioning deficiency log?
October 13th, 2026
A punch list typically identifies incomplete or defective project work requiring correction before final closeout. Items may involve finishes, equipment placement, missing components, installation quality, or other construction-related details.
A commissioning deficiency log focuses on problems discovered while verifying system performance and operational requirements.
The two processes can overlap, particularly when an installation defect causes a functional failure. Hotels should coordinate both records so issues are resolved without duplication or uncertainty about responsibility.
