What should hotels include in a pre-opening guest room punch list?
August 21st, 2026
A pre-opening punch list should document incomplete work, installation deficiencies, damaged products, incorrect configurations, missing accessories, cosmetic issues, and equipment that fails functional testing.
Items should be assigned to the appropriate contractor, supplier, installer, or hotel department and tracked until resolution. Hotels should avoid treating the punch list solely as a construction exercise. Operational teams should participate because they may identify usability, maintenance, or guest experience issues that are not obvious from an installation perspective.
