Elevate Construction

Jason takes on the insanity of punch lists, walking through the 10 to 20 extra steps required every time a small item goes on a list instead of being fixed on the spot. He explains how daily zone control, with the superintendent and foreman punching work as they go and checking the next areas ahead, can eliminate hundreds or thousands of punch list items.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • When a punch list is the right tool and when it isn't
  • The long chain of steps one small punch item triggers, from photo to final sign-off
  • How one process flow and finishing as you go prevents punch list items
  • What daily zone control looks like between a superintendent and a foreman
  • Why 10 to 30 minutes of daily zone control beats weeks of punch list work

How many items on your punch list could have been finished by the crew while they were still there?
